BDM - Automation & Robotics NSW

Reference: 1783153002_1775799070

* Are you a driven "hunter" who thrives on winning new business and closing high-value automation projects?
* Do you enjoy selling complex, bespoke manufacturing and robotics solutions with strong technical backing?
* Do you want the autonomy to own your territory strategy while being supported by a highly capable engineering and consulting team?

The Client:
Our client is a globally recognised industrial technology and engineering organisation with a long-standing heritage (100+ years) in innovation and advanced manufacturing solutions.

Their manufacturing solutions division is a market leader in the design and delivery of bespoke automation systems, special purpose machinery and turnkey manufacturing solutions for a wide range of industries.

Backed by significant recent investment into a purpose-built manufacturing and automation facility in Melbourne, the organisation offers customers the ability to prototype, test and validate complex solutions prior to full-scale deployment - a key differentiator in the market.

With a strong pipeline of projects and continued growth across multiple industries, they are now looking to appoint a commercially driven Business Development Manager to take ownership of the NSW region and drive new business across high-value, project-based solutions.

Your Responsibilities:
* Drive new business growth across NSW, with a strong focus on hunting, lead generation and conversion.
* Develop and execute regional sales strategies in collaboration with leadership.
* Identify and secure opportunities across FMCG, Food & Beverage, advanced manufacturing, MedTech, metals and renewable energy sectors.
* Manage the full sales lifecycle - from prospecting and qualification through to proposal, negotiation and close.
* Sell high-value, bespoke automation solutions including robotic cells, automated production lines and special purpose machinery.
* Work closely with internal Consultants and Design Engineers to develop tailored, technically robust end-to-end solutions.
* Lead commercial discussions including pricing, risk mitigation and contract negotiations (T&Cs).
* Maintain and manage pipeline activity through CRM (Salesforce).
* Represent the business at industry events, exhibitions and networking opportunities.
* Manage and grow selected key accounts while maintaining a strong new business focus (90% hunting).

About You:
You are commercially intelligent, technically curious and thrive in an external, client-facing sales role where you can influence outcomes and close complex deals.

You Bring:
* Proven experience in B2B solution sales/ consulting within industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing integration or capital equipment.
* A strong track record of winning new business and achieving sales targets.
* Experience selling project-based solutions ($500K - $1M+).
* The ability to engage stakeholders at multiple levels and translate technical requirements into commercial solutions.
* Strong negotiation and closing skills, including contract and T&C management.
* Exposure to automation technologies such as robotics, special purpose machinery or production systems.
* A proactive, self-driven approach with the ability to manage a large territory.
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
* An engineering, mechatronics or electrical background (advantageous, not essential).
* Current Australian drivers licence with some interstate travel as needed (not extensive)
* Remote working: WFH if not visiting clients.

This is an excellent and rewarding opportunity for a driven Business Development Manager who wants to step into a high-value solution sales role with strong earning potential, great employee benefits, autonomy and long-term career growth.
