Business Development Manager (Industrial)

Drive national growth across NZ’s industrial sector

We’re looking for a true hunter–gatherer - a Business Development Manager who thrives on creating new opportunities, building relationships in the industrial market, and driving growth across New Zealand. If you love being out in market, winning new business, and shaping long-term partnerships, this is your next move.

About the Role

This is a national role focused on expanding our footprint across New Zealand’s industrial sector. You will:

• Lead new business development across the country, identifying and securing industrial clients in manufacturing, heavy equipment, logistics, construction, warehousing, engineering, and related sectors
• Spend the majority of your time visiting customers, developing strong face-to-face relationships and understanding their operational needs
• Be onsite at our auctions one day per week to support operations, understand product flow, and engage directly with vendors and buyers
• Represent the brand across the North and South Islands, engaging with stakeholders at all levels
• Develop tailored solutions for asset remarketing, disposal, and sales pathways within the industrial market
• Contribute to auction day execution and—if desired—build auctioneering capability; previous auction industry experience or interest in auctioneering is highly regarded

About You

You will stand out if you:

• Bring experience in the industrial market—such as heavy equipment, machinery, industrial services, manufacturing, logistics, or related sectors
• Are a natural hunter with a proven ability to source, pitch, and close new business
• Enjoy being on the road, with high activity and face-to-face customer engagement
• Understand industrial customer operations, workflows, and commercial drivers
• Build strong, trusted relationships and present solutions that match customer needs
• Are proactive, resilient, and motivated by results
• Are curious about auctions—whether you’ve worked in the industry before or want to build auctioneering capability

Why This Role?

• National scope with strong autonomy and the ability to shape our industrial client base
• Exposure to a diverse range of commercial and industrial sectors across NZ
• Development pathways, including auctioneering for those who want it
• Be part of a high-energy team that celebrates wins and supports growth
• Join a trusted and established auction brand with strong market presence
