Technical Sales Representative

Brisbane Permanent AU$99,000 - AU$110,000 per year Work from Home or Hybrid View Job Description
We're seeking a commercially minded Technical Sales Representative to drive growth across Queensland within the food manufacturing sector. This is a relationship-focused sales role where your ability to develop business, support customers, and identify opportunities will be more important than having a deep chemical industry background.
  • Join a globally recognised specialty chemicals business.
  • Enjoy the autonomy of a fully remote role.

About Our Client

Our client is a leading provider of speciality chemical solutions servicing a broad range of industrial and manufacturing sectors globally. Following a recent ownership transition, the business is continuing to invest in growth across Australia and is seeking an ambitious sales professional to support existing customers while identifying new opportunities within the food manufacturing market. With a strong reputation for technical excellence, innovation, and customer partnership, the organisation offers genuine long-term career opportunities and the backing of a well-established international business.

Job Description

Reporting to the Sales Manager, you will be responsible for managing and growing a territory across Queensland, with a particular focus on Brisbane, Central Queensland, and surrounding regions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing and developing relationships with existing customers within the food manufacturing sector.
  • Identifying and securing new business opportunities across your territory.
  • Selling value-added technical solutions tailored to customer requirements.
  • Conducting regular customer visits and maintaining high service levels.
  • Monitoring market trends and competitor activity.
  • Managing sales activity through effective planning and reporting.
  • Working closely with technical and commercial teams to deliver customer outcomes.
  • Achieving territory sales budgets and growth targets.
  • Supporting broader segment growth initiatives across Australia where opportunities arise.



This is a home-based position offering significant autonomy, allowing you to manage your travel schedule and customer engagement activities effectively.

The Successful Applicant

We are looking for a driven sales professional who enjoys building relationships, solving customer problems, and developing business opportunities.

You may come from:

  • Food manufacturing
  • Quality assurance
  • Process engineering
  • Industrial sales
  • Technical sales
  • Chemical or ingredient distribution



To be successful, you will possess:

  • Proven experience in B2B sales, account management, or business development.
  • A strong commercial mindset and track record of achieving targets.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • The ability to work independently and manage a regional territory.
  • A technical aptitude and willingness to learn specialised products and applications.
  • A proactive and resilient approach to developing new business.



Experience within chemicals is advantageous but not essential. The client has successfully developed high-performing sales representatives from non-chemical backgrounds and welcomes applicants with strong sales capability and industry exposure.

What's on Offer

  • $110,000 base salary plus superannuation.
  • Company vehicle.
  • Bonus opportunity of up to 25%.
  • Fully remote/home-based role.
  • Established customer base with genuine growth potential.
  • Opportunity to influence and grow a strategic market segment.
  • Career development within a global industry leader.
  • Autonomous role with flexibility to manage your territory and travel schedule.



If you're a relationship-driven sales professional looking to combine technical solutions with sales, apply now.
