If you enjoy opening doors, getting in front of decision-makers and creating new business, rather than simply maintaining an established portfolio, this opportunity is worth considering.

Empowered Recruitment is partnering with an established national commercial painting and maintenance contractor to recruit a Business Development Manager for its Townsville operation.

The business works across commercial property, education, government, strata, healthcare, defence and industrial environments and is looking for someone who can strengthen its presence across Townsville and North Queensland.

This is a genuine hunter role with the autonomy to build your market across Townsville and North Queensland, backed by an established brand, strong systems and operational support.

The opportunity

You’ll be responsible for developing new business across a diverse customer base including:

- Commercial property
- Education
- Government
- Strata and body corporate
- Healthcare and aged care
- Defence and industrial customers

Your week will be focused on prospecting, networking, meeting customers, identifying opportunities and progressing deals through to close. This is not an account management role dressed up as business development.

The successful person will enjoy being out in the market, building relationships from scratch and creating opportunities that weren’t already there.





What we’re looking for

Your exact industry background is less important than your ability to demonstrate genuine B2B sales success.

You’ll ideally bring

- Proven current-business development experience
- Confidence with cold calling and direct prospecting
- A track record of winning new customers and generating revenue
- Strong relationship-building and commercial skills
- Good CRM and pipeline discipline
- Resilience and persistence through longer sales cycles
- A practical, down-to-earth communication style
- Knowledge of the Townsville and North Queensland market
- The ability to manage your territory autonomously

Backgrounds across construction, building products, industrial services, equipment, facilities, trade services or technical B2B sales would translate well.

What’s on offer

- $110,000 base
- 12% superannuation
- $20,000 car allowance
- Uncapped performance-based incentives

You’ll also have the backing of an established national organisation while having genuine ownership of the local market. If you’re a salesperson who enjoys creating new business rather than simply servicing an existing portfolio, we’d like to hear from you.
