The skills sought
In an ideal world you will already possess experience in the compressed air industry. A technical background coupled with industrial compressed air sales experience would be even more advantageous.

Skills from other areas of industry will also be considered. As a minimum you will need evidence of being able to understand complex technical products and be able to communicate often technically complex information to largely engineering/manufacturing/industrial clients. Clearly interpersonal connectivity within the industrial manufacturing sector would also be a great start, as would an understanding of industrial rotary screw compressors.


The opportunity and benefits
An attractive six figure plus salary is provided as a base salary with other incentives. A modern, double cab ute or similar is provided along with normal business accessories.

The employer has a structured career advancement plan for an employee demonstrating the capabilities to grow the branch.

By far, however, we view the most attractive aspect of this role as the culture of decency that exists within the employer. This is a company where you can build a long-term career.
