Technical Business Development Manager

Technical Business Development Manager

Join Quasar and help shape the future of energy performance, operational resilience, and digital infrastructure across New Zealand.

For more than 40 years, Quasar has partnered with utilities, industrial organisations and infrastructure providers to improve performance, increase visibility and solve complex operational challenges. As a trusted technology partner to many of New Zealand's leading organisations, we're continuing to grow and are looking for a Technical Business Development Manager to help shape the next chapter of our success.

This is not a sit-behind-a-desk sales role. We're looking for someone who enjoys getting in front of customers, building strong relationships, identifying opportunities and turning them into long-term partnerships. You'll be out meeting customers, attending industry events, working alongside key technology partners and helping grow Quasar's presence across New Zealand.

Because every Quasar solution is tailored, this is also a genuinely technical role. You won't just win the work. You'll understand what the customer needs, design the right solution and put together the proposal and quote that wins the job.

You'll inherit a portfolio of established relationships, but success in this role will come from your ability to open new doors, grow strategic accounts and build a strong pipeline of opportunities for the future.

What you'll be doing

• Identifying and developing new business opportunities, with a focus on winning new customers
• Building relationships with utilities, industrial, infrastructure and commercial customers
• Scoping customer requirements through site visits, meetings, specifications and tender documents
• Designing technical solutions across metering, monitoring, data, BMS and control systems
• Preparing accurate costings, proposals, quotations and tender responses
• Working with leading technology partners including Schneider Electric
• Managing opportunities from first conversation through to close and handover to our Engineering team
• Representing Quasar at industry events, conferences and customer meetings

What we're looking for

• Proven success in business development or technical sales, including winning new customers
• Experience scoping, designing and pricing technical solutions (e.g. metering, electrical, automation, controls or BMS)
• An engineering, electrical or related technical qualification, or equivalent trade or industry experience (preferred, not essential)
• Confidence reading specifications, drawings and tender documents
• A self-starter who enjoys creating opportunities rather than waiting for them
• Commercially savvy, with accurate pricing and strong margins front of mind
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills, credible with both technical and senior stakeholders

Why Quasar?

• Established New Zealand business with over 40 years of success
• Market-leading solutions and technology partners
• Opportunity to influence the future direction of the business
• Work with some of New Zealand's largest utilities and industrial organisations
• Supportive and collaborative team culture
• Regular travel and customer engagement across New Zealand

If you enjoy building relationships, creating opportunities and designing solutions that solve real-world challenges for customers, we'd love to hear from you.

Applications will only be accepted through Seek. Please include a cover letter telling us how your experience aligns, plus your CV.
