Ready to kick-start or grow your career in sales?

Join Australian Powerline Industries (API) — where you can build customer relationships, develop your commercial skills and share in the success of the business.

We're looking for an energetic, switched-on person who enjoys working with people, solving problems and getting things done. If you're organised, confident on the phone and keen to build a career in sales, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Why join API?

- Share in the success. Annual profit share incentives give you the prospect to benefit from the business's performance.
- Build a career, not just a job. Develop your sales and commercial skills, with opportunities to grow into business development and other areas of the business.
- Work with real customers. Build relationships with trade and industry customers and become a go-to person they can rely on.
- Be part of a strong Australian business. API is backed by Metal Manufactures Pty Ltd, one of Australia's largest privately owned industrial networks, with more than 450 outlets nationwide.

The opportunity
This is a hands-on internal sales role with plenty of variety. You'll be across customer orders, quoting, pricing and purchasing — working with customers and suppliers to keep things moving and deliver great service.

No two days are exactly the same. You'll need to think on your feet, manage competing priorities and take ownership from the first enquiry through to delivery.

What you'll be doing:

- Processing customer orders and invoices accurately and efficiently
- Preparing quotes, following up with customers and helping turn opportunities into sales
- Managing customer pricing and supporting price reviews using Excel
- Handling customer enquiries by phone and email, building strong relationships along the way
- Purchasing stock and working with suppliers to keep orders on track




- Spotting opportunities to grow sales and deliver even better service to customers
- Pitching in across the branch and helping the team get the job done

What we're looking for
We're more interested in your attitude, drive and potential than having every box ticked.

You'll fit in well if you:

- Bring energy, initiative and a positive, can-do attitude
- Take ownership, follow through and do what you say you'll do
- Enjoy talking to people and building lasting customer relationships
- Can stay organised and accurate when things get busy
- Are commercially minded and keen to learn how to win business
- Are comfortable using Excel and everyday computer systems
- Enjoy being part of a team where everyone pitches in

Experience in electrical wholesale, trade supply or a similar industry is an advantage, but it's not essential. If you've got the right attitude and are keen to learn, we'll help you develop the product knowledge and skills you need to succeed.

Full Australian working rights are required.

What's in it for you?

- Annual profit share incentives — share in the results you help create
- A stable business with strong backing — build your future within the Metal Manufactures network
- Real development opportunities — grow your skills and take on more responsibility as you progress
- A pathway into sales and business development — build the experience to take your career further
- A varied, hands-on role — develop a broad understanding of customers, products, pricing and purchasing

Ready to take the next step? If you're motivated, enjoy working with people and want a role where you can make a difference, develop your skills and build a long-term career, we'd love to hear from you.
