About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Sales – Data Centres, you will drive NHP's growth with the Tier 1 electrical contractors delivering Australia's rapidly expanding Data Centre projects. You'll build relationships at executive and project level across about 10 strategic contractor accounts. You'll get NHP solutions in early in the project cycle, protect specified positions and turn opportunities into project wins across NHP's full portfolio.
If you enjoy owning key accounts, chasing major projects and seeing them through to award, this is your chance to make a visible impact in one of the fastest-growing sectors in the industry.
Key responsibilities include
- Build strategic, executive and project-level relationships with priority Tier 1 electrical contractors
- Develop and maintain account engagement plans that identify upcoming Data Centre projects and create new qualified opportunities
- Get NHP solutions in early in contractor project cycles to keep or improve specifications and find opportunities across the portfolio
- Bring credible technical knowledge of Distribution Boards, Power Quality, Energy Monitoring, Stanilite emergency lighting, Industrial Control and Power Distribution to customer conversations
- Prepare quotations, coordinate estimating support and follow up with discipline so responses are fast and convert well
- Protect specified opportunities by resolving commercial and technical barriers that threaten conversion
- Deliver revenue, margin, pipeline and forecast outcomes
- Work closely with State Sales, Estimating, Engineering, Technical Specialists and Product Management, plus consultants and switchboard partners, to win projects
- Regular travel across NSW, Victoria and South Australia is required (about 30–50% of your time), including customer and site visits.
What you'll bring

- Curiosity about sustainability requirements, AI and hyperscale market trends
What’s on offer: This is an opportunity to build, not simply inherit, a market. You will have the autonomy to shape a newly created role, strengthen NHP’s presence in a priority growth segment and influence major projects from their earliest stages. You will be supported by respected technical expertise, global partnerships and a values-led culture that works and wins together.
