National Sales Representative – Brisbane or Dubbo
Alford Hydraulics and Engineering – Clontarf QLD
Build Relationships. Grow the Business. Represent Australian Manufacturing.
Are you a driven salesperson with a mechanical mind, a genuine interest in machinery and the confidence to build strong client relationships?
Alford Hydraulics & Engineering is looking for an experienced and motivated National Sales Representative to join our team and play an important role in the continued growth of our Australian manufacturing business.
We are looking for a genuine go-getter — someone who enjoys talking to people, building relationships and seeking out recent business opportunities, while taking pride in looking after an established client base.
You will have strong sales ability combined with practical mechanical aptitude, ideally gained through experience with mobile or industrial equipment, machinery, engineered products, components or mechanical systems.
Previous hydraulic cylinder experience is not essential.
If you understand machinery, know how to sell and have the drive to learn our products, we want to hear from you.
About Alford
Alford has been manufacturing hydraulic cylinders in Australia for 60 years. Proudly Australian owned and operated, we are Australia's oldest and longest-standing hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, manufacturing our hydraulic cylinders here in Dubbo, NSW.

This is a national sales role, working with existing and prospective clients throughout Australia.
Based from either our Dubbo or North Brisbane location, your role will combine office-based sales, client visits, business development and interstate travel.
You will represent Alford in the marketplace,



take ownership of client relationships and actively identify opportunities to grow the business.
Travel throughout Australia will be required, including client visits, trade shows and industry events. Occasional travel to our other Alford location will also form part of the role.

Your Background
Hydraulic experience is not essential.
Experience within agricultural machinery, transport equipment, industrial machinery, mechanical equipment, engineering, manufacturing or a related industry would be highly regarded.
You may have sold machinery, equipment or components, worked in a mechanical or technical environment, or developed your mechanical knowledge through hands‐on industry experience. What matters to us is that you can sell, understand machinery, build genuine relationships and recognise an opportunity when you see one.
If you've got the right attitude, sales ability and mechanical understanding, we'll teach you the Alford product.
