Our Client
Our client is a major China-based machinery manufacturer with a strong position in its home market and a growing international business. Its established equipment range spans concrete machinery, lifting machinery, earthmoving equipment and aerial work machinery. The company is also expanding into emerging sectors, including mining and agricultural machinery. With overseas operations growing across Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and Russia, the business is building its reach in new markets. It is now developing its agricultural machinery presence in Australia. This is an opportunity to represent a large international manufacturer, introduce its growing farm equipment range to Australian customers and help establish the dealer network and market presence needed for long-term growth.

You will work alongside dealers in the field, visiting farms and large agricultural businesses, demonstrating equipment, progressing key projects and supporting commercial negotiations through to order and delivery. You will represent the business at field days and trade events, build relationships with dealer principals and major customers,



and bring back practical information on farming needs, competitor activity and pricing. Working with product, service, logistics and finance teams, you will help solve customer issues and make sure local feedback reaches the wider business.
