We're looking for a driven Business Development Manager to help us grow our footprint across the Hunter region, driving new business across Recruitment, Training (RTO), and Apprenticeships (GTO). This role is perfect for someone who wants to dominate their territory, earn uncapped commission, and represent a company that truly helps people Win at Work.

About Us

At Maxwell Recruitment & Training, we exist to help people win at work. We’re a full-service business offering Labour Hire, RTO Training, and Apprentice Support, all built specifically for industry. Our purpose is matched by our values:

Do as You Say

Team First

Always Improving

Exceptional Customer Experience

We work with employers who care about safety, quality, and results, and we care deeply about our people, our clients, and our students. Our team brings deep industry experience and we’re always in person and always local.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Sales & Marketing (Managing Director), this role is responsible for building long-term, high-impact relationships across the Hunter. Your focus will be new client acquisition and gross profit growth, driven through Maxwell’s proven, people-first sales process. You’ll have support from marketing, operations, and finance teams, but this role demands a front-footed sales professional who loves being out in the market, not behind a desk.

Key Responsibilities

Client Acquisition – Build relationships across the Hunter with new clients in construction, manufacturing, engineering, and related industries.

Sales Process Execution – Use our structured consultative process to uncover needs, educate clients, build trust, and tailor solutions.

Gross Profit Growth – Deliver new client GP that meets/exceeds targets, with uncapped commission kicking in after your book hits 3× your monthly salary.

CRM Discipline – Use Bullhorn to maintain a sharp pipeline, keep activity visible, and track post-sale success.

Brand Representation – Live and breathe our values, especially when it comes to effort, empathy, and walking away from deals that aren’t the right fit.

What You’ll Bring

Proven experience in B2B sales, ideally across recruitment, apprenticeships, training, or workforce services

Hunter mentality with strong business development instincts

Confidence, integrity, and a service-first mindset

Strong communication and proposal skills

Energy, accountability, and the hunger to win!

What You’ll Get

$100k–$120k base salary + super + uncapped commissions

8-week structured sales onboarding and training direct from the MD

Cutting edge CRM, marketing, proposal software, and operational support to help you focus on selling

A role with meaning - You help people Win at Work every single day

Pathways to future leadership if that’s in your sights

Territory

The Hunter Region, including Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Singleton, Muswellbrook & surrounds.

This is not your average BDM gig.
