We're Alignr, a modern recruitment partner helping ambitious businesses hire smarter and faster.

This time we're partnering exclusively with a global leader in engineered industrial equipment to launch a dedicated push into its mixing solutions business across the Pacific. The product line covers agitators, static mixers and related solutions for water, wastewater, food and beverage and industrial processing applications.

This is not a maintenance role and it is not account management. This is a pure hunter position, getting out on the road, opening doors, building relationships and creating new opportunities for a premium, technically engineered product in a market that has never had a dedicated person on it locally.

For context, the equivalent business in the US turns over US$100M a year. There is real money on the table here.

Are you looking for...

A genuine hunter role where you build a market rather than manage one?

A premium, technically engineered product you can be proud of selling, not commodity, not price-driven

The backing of a global business with a full internal technical team handling quoting, applications and proposals behind you?

Freedom on the road with the autonomy to run your patch like your own business?

A supportive, non-pressure culture with clear targets and expectations, but without the hammering?

A legend of a leader?

What's in it for you.

Attractive Salary: $125,000-$135,000 Base + Super

Plus Fully maintained company car

Plus Company life insurance

Plus Annual bonus (5%, tied to safety, performance, local and international targets)

The bonus structure is 5% when all targets are achieved but there is opportunity for us to exceed targets and that reward will grow beyond 5%

First 2-3 months office-heavy to learn the product, people and processes, then shifting to ~90% field

Less Admin!! Strong internal technical support team handling quoting, applications engineering and proposals, freeing you to focus purely on hunting!

Premium, technical product positioning, this is the business class end of mixing, not economy

Work with a genuinely supportive, experienced and easy-to-deal-with manager

Global business backing with the freedom to help build something from the ground up locally

The business A global leader in engineered industrial equipment with operations across every major market worldwide. The mixing solutions product line serves contractors, consultants, EPCs and large municipals across water,



wastewater, food and beverage, and industrial processing. The product sits at the premium, technically engineered end of the market, winning on engineering quality, technical support and the ability to solve complex and unusual applications rather than competing on price.

The critical difference is the support structure. This is not a salesperson who has to hunt on the front line and carry the back-end admin. There is a robust internal technical team handling quoting, applications engineering and proposals, even for highly complex and unusual applications. That frees the right person to do what they do best: charge ahead, find business, and let the team support the technical delivery.

What you will do. Hunt and build

Identify and develop new business opportunities for the mixing product line across the Pacific region

Get out on the road (~90% once ramped), open doors, build relationships and create a pipeline that compounds over time

Work alongside state managers and reps around the country on customer visits and joint relationship-building

Target contractors, consultants, EPCs and large municipals across water, wastewater, food and beverage and industrial processing

Convert with support

Work alongside the internal technical support team to convert opportunities into quality quotes and proposals

Collaborate on complex and unusual applications, leveraging the engineering depth behind you

Feed the machine

Feed market intelligence back, pricing, competitor activity and where the opportunities are

Own sales performance and pipeline discipline

Who we're looking for. The ideal person lives and breathes mixing, someone who deeply understands the processes, the technicals and the markets that use mixers. We are realistic that this is a very small, specialised talent pool, so we are also open to people from adjacent technical and engineering fields who have the credibility and appetite to learn.

Beyond that, the right person brings:

A genuine hunter mindset, loves being on the road, opening doors and creating opportunities,



does not want to be stuck in an office

Real technical or engineering credibility, comfortable in complex industrial, process or engineering environments

A business-owner mentality, self-driven, motivated by uncapped upside and building something from scratch

Strong relationship-building across technical buyers, contractors, consultants, EPCs and municipals

Resilience and patience for a considered, technical sales cycle, this is a slow-burn, pipeline-building sale, not transactional volume

The ability to work with an internal support team rather than doing everything solo

Industry backgrounds that translate well: mixing and agitation, process engineering, water and wastewater treatment, industrial processing equipment, pumps, valves, filtration or any premium technical product sold into engineering and industrial markets.

Who this ISN'T for.

Transactional, high-volume sales types who need an off-the-shelf product to move quickly

Account managers who wait for the phone to ring rather than kicking doors down

Anyone who wants to be office-bound, this is a road role at heart

People who need a huge inbound pipeline handed to them, this is about creating a market, not managing one

Anyone without genuine technical credibility or the appetite to learn a deeply technical product

Must have's.

Genuine hunter and business development capability, not account management

Technical or engineering credibility in industrial, process or engineering environments

Comfortable being on the road ~90% of the time once ramped

Experience selling into contractors, consultants, EPCs or large industrial and municipal end users

Experience technically engineered products rather than commodity or price-driven solutions

Resilience for a considered, technical sales cycle with longer lead times

Nice to haves

Direct experience in mixing, agitation or related process equipment

Relationships within water, wastewater, food and beverage or industrial processing sectors in Australia and the Pacific
