A global industrial solutions business is seeking a commercially driven Business Development & Branch Manager to lead its Brisbane operation.

This role combines hands-on business development with responsibility for the day-to-day performance of the branch. You will grow key accounts, open new doors across Queensland and provide practical leadership to a small team spanning sales, customer service, projects and field operations.

You may already be an experienced Branch Manager, or you could be a successful BDM with some people-management experience who is ready to take the next step. For the right person, this is an opportunity to move beyond an individual sales role and take ownership of both sales performance and the broader branch.

What you’ll do:

• Generate new business across Queensland
• Develop relationships with major industrial customers
• Take ownership of key accounts and support a structured customer handover
• Lead technical and commercial discussions around extraction and filtration solutions
• Prepare initial concepts and high-level quotations with support from engineering
• Coach and support an existing junior salesperson
• Coordinate branch priorities and keep the local team aligned
• Oversee service and project activity at a general management level
• Maintain team morale, accountability and customer responsiveness
• Help embed stronger systems, reporting and operational processes
• Act as the senior local representative and key link with interstate leadership

About you:

• Strong business development or technical sales experience
• A track record of winning new customers and growing key accounts
• Some experience leading, coaching or supervising others
• The confidence to engage senior stakeholders and complex industrial customers
• Enough technical aptitude to understand customer challenges and discuss practical solutions
• A hands-on, commercially focused leadership style
• The ability to operate independently and make sound decisions
• Strong communication, organisation and relationship-management skills

This role could suit:

• An experienced Branch Manager from a technical or industrial business
• A Senior BDM ready to step into broader people and operational leadership
• A technical sales professional who has informally led others and is ready for a formal management role

Relevant industry experience:
Experience in industrial extraction and filtration would be highly regarded, particularly across:

• Dust collection
• Welding-fume extraction
• Industrial air filtration
• Exhaust or diesel-fume extraction
• Industrial ventilation
• Combustible-dust management

Candidates from adjacent technical sectors will also be considered, including welding equipment, industrial fans, process equipment, environmental technology, mining services, manufacturing, engineering sales or defence supply.
