Oamaru, New Zealand McBrimar Homes Full time

If you can turn handshakes into house keys, read on.

About us:

We're McBrimar, a family-owned construction company based in Oamaru. We deliver fixed-price home & land packages and bespoke design builds across Otago.

We complete around 30 homes annually and have built our reputation on:

  • Craftsmanship (we're Registered Master Builders)
  • Transparency
  • Strong client relationships. Providing seamless customer journey, from first meeting to key handover
  • Delivering on time and on budget
  • Providing the "Full Service", taking care of everything from subdivision to landscaping.

At McBrimar, we don't just build homes — we build trust. And when challenges come up, our clients know one thing: we've got this.

About you:

You're a proven sales operator who knows how to connect with people and close deals without the hard sell. You can talk plans, budgets, and backyards in plain english — giving clients peace of mind through every step.

To thrive with us, you'll:

  • Have a track record in sales, preferably in residential building or construction sales
  • Be strong on negotiation, relationship-building, and presenting
  • Ideally be able to understand architectural/plan specs and translate them clearly for clients, or at a minimum have a passion for home building/renovations
  • Be confident with sales/CRM tools and pipeline reporting
  • Have commercial acumen (margins, pricing, cost impacts)
  • Be self-motivated, target-driven, and client-first in your approach
  • Hold a valid driver's licence and be willing to travel to sites
About the role:

This isn't about pushing cookie-cutter houses. It's about helping clients realise their dreams — while keeping the process smooth and stress-free.

As Sales & Business Development Manager, you'll:

  • Manage all inbound/outbound leads and drive them through the sales funnel
  • Act as primary contact from first enquiry to contract signing and handover
  • Present and promote home & land packages and design-build options
  • Maintain pipeline health, conversion metrics, and reporting
  • Collaborate with architecture, estimating, marketing, and operations
  • Ensure smooth contract handovers to the project team
  • Be an ambassador for McBrimar in the region — building networks with realtors, land developers, and referral partners
Why work with us?

At McBrimar, you'll get more than just a sales gig. You'll get:

  • Competitive salary with earning potential $150-200k, (including base salary + vehicle + commission) with tiered uplifts for above-target performance
  • Clear commission schedule (paid after projects commence)
  • Additional bonuses for stretch targets and referrals
  • A chance to be part of a respected local brand with strong growth plans
  • Job security with plenty of interesting work in the pipeline and our own developments
  • A family-run company culture — straightforward, down-to-earth, and committed to doing things right
  • To live in Oamaru – a stunning coastal town surrounded by mountains and lakes, where you can enjoy an incredible lifestyle alongside a welcoming community
  • Relocation assistance available for out-of-town candidates to ensure a smooth transition.
How to apply (the hoop)

We don't just want a CV. We want to see how you think and sell.

Your task:

  • Pick one of our existing McBrimar home designs (from our website).
  • Record a 2–3 minute video pitching it back to us as if we were a young family.
  • Show us how you'd highlight the benefits, calm their concerns, and make it real for them.
