OnTalent is proud to be partnering with Simon George & Sons to appoint a Business Development Manager.

For more than 90 years, Simon George & Sons has built its reputation on something simple: relationships.

As a proudly family-owned Australian business, the organisation has grown through generations of strong leadership, trusted partnerships and a genuine commitment to its people. While the business has continued to evolve and expand over time, the values that underpin its success remain unchanged. Collaboration, accountability, integrity and mutual respect are at the heart of how the organisation operates each day.

This is a business where people are known by name, contributions are recognised and relationships matter. Success is shared, teamwork is valued and people are encouraged to bring their own ideas, energy and expertise to the table. The culture is professional, supportive and authentic, creating an environment where people can build long-term careers while making a genuine impact.

The Opportunity Reporting to the General Manager, this role will focus on identifying growth opportunities, developing new business and strengthening strategic relationships across the South Australian market.

You will bring:

- Proven success in business development and relationship management.
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
- The ability to influence, connect and build trust.

Why Simon George & Sons?
This is an opportunity to join a respected Australian family business where culture genuinely matters.

You'll be joining an organisation that values relationships over transactions, collaboration over hierarchy and long-term success over short-term wins. The leadership team is committed to creating an environment where people feel supported, trusted and empowered to contribute.

For someone who enjoys building meaningful relationships, working alongside good people and contributing to a business with a strong sense of purpose and identity, this represents a genuine career opportunity.
