Bring your mechanical mindset, relationship-building skills, and passion for the outdoors to a role where you’ll work across leading-edge power systems and integrated technical solutions.

We’re partnering with a well-established, family-owned Australian business (founded in 1995) that operates at the intersection of diesel engine technology, marine systems, and defence capability.

About the role:

This Business Development Manager role offers a unique opportunity to work across two complementary product lines, high-performance diesel power systems, and integrated marine and off-grid solutions for retail, commercial, and military applications.

You’ll be the face of technically trusted brands known for quality, service, and customer care, backed by experienced engineers, trade-qualified sales support, and a reputation built over decades.

About the role:

  • Drive new business opportunities across the marine, defence, and industrial sectors
  • Represent a suite of complementary products and systems, including diesel engines, integrated marine solutions, and off-grid equipment
  • Build and maintain long-term relationships with technical buyers and project stakeholders
  • Conduct site visits, attend client meetings, and represent the business at major trade shows (domestic and occasional international)
  • Collaborate with engineering and workshop teams to deliver custom project solutions
  • Maintain a clear, well-managed pipeline and contribute to a professional, supportive team culture

About you:

  • Proven experience in B2B technical sales or business development
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and interest in marine, automotive, or off-grid power systems
  • Experience working with, or selling into, the Australian defence sector
  • Confidence engaging with customers across commercial, military, and industrial markets
  • A self-motivated, independent approach with strong follow-through
  • Alignment with a family business culture — professional, values-led, and customer-first
  • Bonus: You enjoy 4WDing, boating, or the outdoors, you’ll fit right in
  • Previous experience with Hubspot CRM systems will help

The offer:

  • Base salary: $120k – $130k + Super
  • Car allowance + performance-based bonus
  • A dual-brand role with exposure to diverse technical solutions and client types
  • Training, support, and collaboration with trade-qualified experts
  • Travel to national and international trade shows and client sites
  • A long-term opportunity within a stable, respected Australian business
  • Yearly salary review and Christmas bonus
  • Known for their over-the-top Christmas parties
