Technical Sales Representative – Electricity Distribution (Nationwide)

About the role

Bring your industry experience to a role where it counts.

Gridworks supplies overhead line hardware, connectors and associated network products to lines companies, contractors and network utilities across New Zealand and the Pacific. We're looking for a Technical Sales Representative who can sit down with a crew, talk through an application with confidence, and be taken seriously from the first conversation.

Our customers are experienced network people, and credibility matters. If you've spent ten years or more in electricity distribution - on the tools, in the field, or supplying the industry - and you're ready to step into a customer-facing role, we'd be keen to talk.

What you'll be doing

• Building and holding relationships with lines companies, contractors and utilities nationwide
• Providing technical advice, product recommendations and on-site support
• Running product presentations, demonstrations, evaluations and trials
• Identifying and converting new opportunities, preparing quotes and proposals
• Working with our suppliers and feeding market intelligence back to the business
• Engaging with line mechanic training schools and the next generation of industry people
• Attending industry events and conferences

What you'll bring

• 10+ years' experience in the electricity distribution industry - this is essential. Linesperson, cable jointer, electrical fitter, network field manager, or a utility industry professional who has worked in and around distribution networks
• Genuine technical credibility and the ability to hold a conversation with people who know their gear
• Strong communication skills and a relationship-first approach
• A self-starter who can run their own diary, plan their own territory and get on with it without being managed day to day
• Commercial awareness - you understand that relationships need to turn into profitable business
• Full NZ driver's licence and willingness to travel nationally

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Base yourself anywhere in New Zealand - we're flexible on location
• A nationally recognised product portfolio and strong supplier partnerships
• A small, supportive team where your work is visible and your input counts
• Genuine career growth as the business grows
