Regional Manager – (Conveyor Systems | Bulk Materials Handling – Grain)

Go Against The Grain! This is not just another quasi-sales leadership role. It’s a rare opportunity to step into a commercially critical position with real influence, full autonomy, and a compelling future.

You'll be trusted to lead from the front — not managed by quotas or micromanaged from a desk. You’ll represent a premium product set already embedded in some of Australia’s most respected operations, with direct access to decision-makers and the freedom to operate your way.

This is a senior-level sales and leadership opportunity for a confident and technically capable professional to represent a well-established engineering and manufacturing business with a strong presence in conveyor componentry, elevator systems, and hazard monitoring technology. With an approximate annual turnover of $10M and growing, the business is now transitioning from founder-led engagement to a regionally structured leadership model, and this role is central to that evolution.

This company supports grain and food producers, feed and seed processors, and select industrial bulk handling operations, delivering engineered solutions for some of the most demanding materials environments.

Head office in Brisbane, reporting to the Managing Director; but the right talent can be based anywhere in Australia.

Key Responsibilities

Drive technical sales and leadership strategy across a full range of elevator buckets, belting, forged chains, monitoring systems, and engineered components

Represent the business across grain handling (80%) and industrial (20%) operations – sugar, feed, seed, and bulk solids

Engage directly with customers in regional and rural operations – from mills to terminals to processing sites

Manage a mature portfolio of tier 1 and 2 accounts, while actively developing new relationships across agricultural networks

Operate autonomously, with significant travel throughout Australia and some engagement across Asia Pacific

Step into a role created to support business growth while easing direct leadership from day-to-day frontline delivery

Your Profile

We are looking for an individual who blends technical credibility, sales confidence, and regional practicality. You will be a trusted face for customers operating in high-value, high-demand materials handling environments.

You will demonstrate:

3+ years’ experience in technical sales or business development within mechanical, agricultural, or industrial equipment

Strong working knowledge of conveyor systems, bucket elevators, or bulk materials transfer technology

A trade qualification or mechanical engineering background (formal or practical)

Confidence dealing with procurement and operational leaders in grain handling, milling, or industrial processing

Comfort working remotely and travelling independently to client sites (Brisbane-based preferred, flexible otherwise)

A grounded and character-driven approach – this is not a transactional sales role

On Offer

Base salary of $120,000 – $150,000 p.a + Super, experience

$25,000 car allowance

Uncapped incentives

Broad autonomy with no hard sales budget targets

Strong product support and legacy customer base in grain, sugar, and industrial segments

The opportunity to shape a leadership position as the business evolves toward 2026 growth targets

The business has recently expanded across both Australia and New Zealand and is now seeking to solidify its sales leadership in the market. With hundreds of applications received for previous postings, this role is now being offered with greater exclusivity and clarity of purpose.

This role won’t be widely available — and it won’t be offered twice. If you're looking for a seat at the table, not just another rung on the ladder, this is it.

Apply now to secure your place — before it becomes someone else's opportunity. Apply via SEEK or reach out confidentially via LinkedIn.
