Water is one of the most critical resources in food and beverage manufacturing. From production efficiency and wastewater management through to sustainability and environmental performance, the challenges facing manufacturers have never been greater.
At Ecolab, we're helping food and beverage manufacturers optimise water use, reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and achieve their sustainability goals through industry-leading water treatment solutions and expertise.
We're looking for an ambitious and commercially driven Business Development Manager to accelerate growth across New Zealand's food and beverage manufacturing sector.
This is a true hunter role focused on winning new business, developing strategic opportunities and building long-term partnerships with mid-market manufacturers across New Zealand.
You'll be responsible for identifying, developing and securing new customers within the food and beverage manufacturing sector, introducing Ecolab's water treatment solutions to organisations seeking to improve plant performance, reduce operating costs and meet increasingly demanding environmental requirements.
Working closely with technical experts and operational teams, you'll engage directly with manufacturing decision-makers to understand their challenges and develop tailored solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes.
This role is ideal for a consultative sales professional who thrives on opening doors, building relationships and winning new business.
You are a driven sales professional with a proven track record of generating new business and building lasting customer relationships. You are naturally curious, commercially astute and comfortable engaging with both operational and senior business stakeholders.
Experience selling into manufacturing environments will be highly regarded, particularly within food and beverage, industrial services, water treatment, industrial chemicals, utilities, engineering services, process equipment, sustainability solutions or technical B2B industries.
Most importantly, you'll bring resilience, a growth mindset and a passion for helping customers improve their operations through innovative solutions.
At Ecolab, we know that diverse teams create better outcomes for our customers, our communities and our business. We are committed to building an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to succeed. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
If you're a relationship-focused sales professional who enjoys winning new business and wants to help food manufacturers improve efficiency, sustainability and water performance, we'd love to hear from you.
Join Ecolab and play a key role in helping New Zealand's food and beverage industry operate more efficiently, sustainably and successfully.
