Job Description

The Opportunity

This is the opportunity to operate as the "mini-GM" of a portfolio of major operating mine sites. Take total ownership of driving growth across large-scale wet mineral processing plants with our premium Slurryflex, Abrasiguard, and Defender products.

At Beaver, we’ve built the end-to-end machine to maximise your ability to win, backed by high-performance teams – from Customer Operations, to Technical Support, and Manufacturing – all focused on helping you perform at your best. This role is for someone who wants real autonomy and the opportunity to get recognised and rewarded for the results you deliver (with no glass ceilings).

The Role

This is a senior sales role where you will own a portfolio of 8–15 large operating mine sites in a key region. You will run this territory like your own business, maximizing sales performance and building deep, strategic relationships at every level.

What you’ll own:

  • "Land & Expand" Strategy: Identify and penetrate large-scale wet mineral processing plants where high-volume slurry transfer presents maximum opportunity.
  • Entrepreneurial Territory Ownership: Own the portfolio like your own business, managing everything from site-level troubleshooting to head office influence.
  • Technical Problem Solving: Diagnose over 80% of on-site slurry piping system issues and lead technical conversations with Reliability Engineers and Superintendents.
  • Upgrade With SlurryIQ: Move from "break-fix" replacement sales to re-optimising whole lines end-to-end using our SlurryIQ technology.
  • Specification Development: Engage head office teams to "open" master specifications and provide evidence to ensure Beaver is the preferred technical standard.
  • Competitor Displacement: Actively hunt for incumbent weaknesses and use technical audits to prove Beaver’s superior life-cycle value.
  • High Site Presence: Maintain disciplined coverage with key stakeholders on-site (requires at least 25–30% travel).

Ideal Candidate

Character Traits

  • High Drive & Ownership: You are a proactive, decisive operator who takes total accountability for your patch and creates your own opportunities.
  • Technical Problem Solver: You enjoy getting into the details of complex piping failures and troubleshooting solutions directly with plant engineers.
  • Strong Will to Win: You are driven to win and relentless in your pursuit of results, balanced with a deep commitment to delivering for the client.
  • Action-First Bias: You are decisive and prefer asking for forgiveness rather than permission to solve problems and close deals faster.

Experience

  • Technical Competence: Proven expertise in slurry transfer systems, including pumps, piping, and valves.
  • OEM Sales Track Record: 5–10+ years in a client-facing, quota-carrying role specifically for a mineral process OEM.
  • Complex Deal Execution: Demonstrated ability to personally close and manage technical deals exceeding $250k.

Likely Candidate Profiles

  • The Frustrated Corporate High-Performer: You are currently at a global corporate OEM but are tired of the red tape. You want more autonomy and a high-performance team behind you, along with the reward and progression that matches your results.
  • The Ambitious Talent Chasing Opportunity: You are a high-performer currently at a Tier 2 or 3 OEM who feels capped by a lack of progression or a company without the ambition to grow. You are ready for a platform where you can get the opportunities and rewards that reflect your talent.

What’s Special About This Opportunity?

This is the opportunity to operate as a "mini-GM" for your portfolio of major mine sites. You will take total ownership of driving growth, backed by a team built to maximise your success. You will have real autonomy and be recognised and rewarded for the results you deliver (no glass ceilings).

  • High Autonomy: Enjoy the freedom to make decisions and run your accounts with total ownership.
  • Premium Product Range: Sell a respected and proven manufactured range that the industry trusts, across our Slurryflex, Abrasiguard and Defender brands.
  • Growth Focused Company: Global growth strategy, with market-leading products, a high-performing team, and the financial resources to win.
  • Great Team & Elite Support: We’ve built a specialized support team focused on helping you perform at your best and deliver results for the business.
  • Serious Manufacturing: We control our own manufacturing through vertical integration, so you can talk directly to the team delivering the product with total confidence.
  • No Corporate BS: We are a founder-led business with no room for politics. We make strategic decisions in 24 hours and value a direct, "straight talk" team culture.
  • Reward for Out-Performance: As a private business, we reward star performers with accelerated progression and superior financial outcomes.
