Job Description
If you enjoy opening doors, getting in front of decision-makers and creating recent business, rather than simply maintaining an established portfolio, this opportunity is worth considering.
n
Empowered Recruitment is partnering with an established national commercial painting and maintenance contractor to recruit a Business Development Manager for its Townsville operation.
n
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.
n
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.
n
The opportunity
n
You'll be responsible for developing new business across a diverse customer base including:
n
n
Commercial property
n
Education
n
Government
n
Strata and body corporate
n
Healthcare and aged care
n
Defence and industrial customers
n
n
Your week will be focused on prospecting, networking, meeting customers, identifying opportunities and progressing deals through to close.
n
This is not an account management role dressed up as business development.
n
The successful person will enjoy being out in the market,



building relationships from scratch and creating opportunities that weren't already there.
n
What we're looking for
n
Your exact industry background is less important than your ability to demonstrate genuine B2B sales success.
n
You'll ideally bring:
n
n
Confidence with cold calling and direct prospecting
n
A track record of winning new customers and generating revenue
n
Robust relationship-building and commercial skills
n
Good CRM and pipeline discipline
n
Resilience and persistence through longer sales cycles
n
A practical, down-to-earth communication style
n
Knowledge of the Townsville and North Queensland market
n
The ability to manage your territory autonomously
n
n
Backgrounds across construction, building products, industrial services, equipment, facilities, trade services or technical B2B sales would translate well.
n
What's on offer
n
n
$110,000 base
n
12% superannuation
n
Uncapped performance-based incentives
n
n
You'll also have the backing of an established national organisation while having genuine ownership of the local market.
n
If you're a salesperson who enjoys creating new business rather than simply servicing an existing portfolio, we'd like to hear from you.
