Sales Representative

Put Your People, Technical & AI Skills to Work

Confident starting conversations? Good with AI? Driven to find new business?

We’re looking for a highly organised, disciplined Sales Representative who is comfortable cold calling, meeting customers and spending most of their time out on the road looking for work.

You might be a graduate engineer, come from a technical background or already have sales experience. You’ll bring curiosity, initiative and the follow-through to turn a first conversation into a business opportunity.

About Gleeson Group

Gleeson Group is a proudly New Zealand owned, Auckland based business with quarry and managed fill operations in North Waikato. We provide aggregate supply, bulk haulage, spoil removal, cleanfill, managed fill and contaminated fill services, supporting customers across the construction and infrastructure sectors.

The opportunity

This is a hands-on sales representative role. You’ll actively seek out customers, visit sites, identify upcoming projects and build relationships that generate work.

You’ll also put your AI skills into practice—researching prospects, improving customer follow-up and finding smarter ways to manage sales activity. Success will come from combining these tools with regular customer contact, good planning and consistent action.

Your role will include:

• Cold calling, visiting customers and sites, and actively finding new business.
• Understanding customer requirements and promoting the right services.
• Preparing and following up on quotes with support from the team.
• Using AI to research opportunities, prepare communications and streamline sales administration.
• Identifying and trialling practical AI tools and workflows to improve sales processes.
• Planning your days, keeping CRM records current and following through on commitments.
• Reporting on customer visits, opportunities and progress.
• Working closely with operations to coordinate customer requirements.
• Checking AI outputs for accuracy and protecting confidential information.
• Demonstrating a strong commitment to health and safety on every site visit.

What you’ll bring

Organisation and discipline are essential. You’ll need to manage your time well, work independently and keep pursuing opportunities without waiting to be prompted.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is confident picking up the phone and approaching new customers.
• Enjoys being out on the road and is willing to spend most of the working week finding work.
• Has practical AI skills and can apply them to everyday business tasks.
• Follows up consistently and does what they say they will do.
• Communicates clearly and builds rapport with a wide range of people.
• Can understand technical information and explain practical solutions.
• Handles rejection positively and stays focused on results.
• Is comfortable using CRM systems, Excel and digital tools.
• Holds a full New Zealand driver licence.

An engineering qualification or experience in transport, aggregates or construction would be an advantage. Your attitude, initiative and commitment to sales are equally important.

What we offer

• An attractive salary package and company vehicle for the right applicant.
• Support from experienced people across the business.
• Opportunities to develop your sales, industry and AI skills.
• A varied role where your effort and initiative make a visible difference.
• A supportive team
