Sales Representative- Roofing industry

Roofing Industries (part of Vulcan Steel Group)

Roofing Industries is a New Zealand manufacturer and supplier of metal roofing and cladding products, proudly supporting roofers and builders nationwide. We’re now looking for a motivated Sales Representative to join our small but driven Cromwell team.

This is a varied, hands-on role suited to a self-starter who enjoys building relationships, closing sales, and rolling up their sleeves when needed.

About the Role

You’ll be responsible for growing sales across the region while supporting day-to-day branch operations. While sales is the core focus, this is not a desk-only role — you’ll also help with quoting, processing orders, and occasionally assisting with deliveries or factory tasks.

You’ll work closely with roofers, construction companies, and designers, helping position Roofing Industries as their supplier of choice.

Key Responsibilities

• Build strong relationships with existing customers and actively develop new business
• Promote and sell Roofing Industries products to roofers, builders, and designers
• Identify growth opportunities within the existing client base
• Prepare quotes and process customer orders daily
• Respond to incoming calls and emails and provide excellent customer service
• Assist with deliveries and manufacturing duties when required
• Maintain accurate records and comply with NZ regulations
• Work collaboratively with branch staff, other RI branches, and suppliers
• Hours: Monday to Friday, between 7:00am – 5:00pm (approx. 45 hours per week)

You’re proactive, reliable, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Sales experience is essential — construction industry experience is preferred but not required.

You’ll also bring:

• A professional, positive attitude and strong work ethic
• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines
• Good organisational and time management skills
• Strong written and verbal communication
• A reasonable level of physical fitness (this is a hands-on role)
• A team-first mindset and willingness to go above and beyond
• Class 1 driver licence

• Be part of a small, motivated team that genuinely cares about customer service
• Varied role with autonomy and room to grow
• Supportive environment within a well-established NZ business
• Opportunity to make a real impact locally

If you’re a driven sales professional who enjoys variety, teamwork, and building lasting customer relationships, we’d love to hear from you.

You must be currently residing in New Zealand or have a valid work visa to be considered for this position.

We are committed to health and safety in our organisation. Due to the nature of this role & our business, a pre-employment medical and drug screen is part of the recruitment process for the successful person.
