Virtus Engineering is a growing Western Australian mining services business delivering integrated engineering, capital projects, shutdowns, maintenance and technical workforce solutions across the resources sector.

We are entering a significant growth phase and are seeking an experienced Business Development & Key Accounts Manager to help expand our client base, develop strategic mining accounts and build a robust pipeline of profitable work.

This is a great opportunity to join a growing business where you'll enjoy a strong team culture, genuine flexibility, minimal red tape and an experienced delivery team supporting your success.

Our long-term objective is to develop Virtus into a leading integrated engineering, construction, maintenance and mining-services contractor.

This role will play a very important part in achieving that objective.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll take ownership of new business development and strategic account growth across Western Australia.

Your focus will be on developing relationships with mining companies, asset owners, EPC/EPCM organisations and other major resource-sector clients.

We're looking for someone who understands how mining work is awarded — someone capable of building strong industry relationships and identifying opportunities before they formally reach the market.

Working closely with our Capital Projects, Shutdowns and Maintenance teams, you'll help turn client opportunities into commercially attractive, executable work.

Importantly, you'll be backed by capable, experienced delivery teams who have the expertise to deliver on the opportunities you develop.

Why join Virtus

- Excellent earning potential – $165,000–$185,000 + super + vehicle/allowance + substantial performance incentives, with an opportunity to earn approximately 30% of base salary at target performance, plus additional upside for stretch performance.

- Great team culture – you'll work alongside a supportive, down-to-earth and experienced team who enjoy working together

- Minimal red tape – you will have a direct access to management,



straightforward communication and the ability to get things done without unnecessary bureaucracy.

- Genuine flexibility and autonomy – the freedom to manage your client relationships, priorities and business development strategy, with a focus on outcomes rather than micromanagement.

- Strong delivery capability – you'll have experienced engineering, projects, construction, shutdowns and maintenance teams behind you, helping turn opportunities into successful outcomes.

- A broad service offering – develop opportunities across multiple service lines rather than being limited to a single product or service.

- Long-term career opportunities – as Virtus continues to grow, there will be opportunities to take on broader leadership responsibilities and play an even greater part in the business.

We value people who bring initiative, industry knowledge and a practical approach to getting things done.

You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of:

- Developing and executing Virtus' WA mining business development strategy.

- Identifying and securing new strategic mining clients.

- Building relationships with Tier-1 and mid-tier mining organisations.

- Identifying upcoming capital projects, sustaining capital, shutdowns and maintenance programs.

- Building and managing a qualified opportunity pipeline, including securing new tender and EOI invitations.

- Coordinating client presentations, capability meetings and site visits.

- Identifying cross-selling opportunities across Virtus service lines.

The objective is not simply to generate meetings. It is to create profitable, long-term client relationships.

You'll have a broad service offering to develop with clients, including:

- Engineering & Design – Engineering, drafting, scope development, constructability and design-and-construct solutions.

- Capital Projects & Construction – SMP construction,



brownfields works, plant upgrades and sustaining capital projects.

- Shutdowns & Maintenance – Planned shutdowns, fixed-plant maintenance, embedded crews and sustaining maintenance.

- Field Services – HD mechanical, drill support, boilermaker field services and mobile maintenance capability.

- Technical Workforce Solutions – Trades, supervisors, planners, engineers, HSEQ, QA/QC and project support personnel.

- Fabrication & Workshop – Structural, mechanical, piping, repairs and off-site fabrication capability.

The opportunity is to identify where Virtus can enter a client, then progressively expand that relationship across multiple service lines.

Ideally, you'll bring:

- Extensive experience within mining, resources, engineering, construction or maintenance services.

- Proven experience in business development, account management, commercial management or senior operations.

- Strong knowledge of the Western Australian mining market.

- Existing relationships across mining companies, contractors and/or EPC/EPCM organisations.

- Experience selling mining services, project delivery, maintenance, shutdowns, engineering or technical services.

- Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills.

- High levels of personal accountability and autonomy.

A trade, engineering, maintenance, construction or project-delivery background will be highly regarded.

We're particularly interested in someone who has genuine credibility in the resources sector.

You'll be equally comfortable walking through a processing plant, talking with a Maintenance Superintendent about an upcoming shutdown, discussing sustaining capital with a Project Manager or presenting Virtus capability to senior management.

We're less interested in a traditional salesperson and more interested in someone who understands the mining industry and can convert relationships into commercially sound opportunities.

If you're looking to play an important part in growing a business, genuinely contribute and be part of a great team, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now – we look forward to speaking with you!
