  • Own It – We take initiative, are accountable, and deliver quality results.

  • Care – We treat others with empathy, respect, and kindness.

The Role

We're seeking a Sales Development Representative to join our Portabuild sales team based in Christchurch. In this role, you will be the front line of our sales funnel, identifying, contacting, and qualifying potential customers.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Drive outbound prospecting: Run a daily cadence of calls and emails to decision‑makers in priority sectors; turn enquiries into quoting opportunities.
  • Qualify with purpose: Lead short discovery conversations to confirm needs, site constraints, budgets and timelines; record clear next steps and stakeholders.
  • Book and brief: Set up face‑to‑face quote meetings for the Sales Manager and provide a concise briefing (context, scope, risks, buying drivers).
  • Prep first‑touch documents: Draft design layouts, schedules of work and indicative build estimates for sign‑off, using our industry-leading systems.
  • Progress and nurture: Keep opportunities moving with timely follow‑ups; re‑engage dormant accounts and warm inbound/marketing leads.
  • Collaborate to deliver: Work with design, estimating, operations and finance to ensure quotes are timely, realistic and aligned.
  • Feed market intel back: Capture common objections, competitor moves and spec requests to help refine our offer and content.

Your Skills and Experiences

You'll be positive, personable and highly organised, with strengths in customer engagement and relationship‑building. Ideally, you'll have experience in sales development, telesales, or customer‑facing roles (construction/manufacturing exposure is a bonus, not a must). In particular, you need to be:

  • Confident making outbound calls and opening doors with potential customers.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; high attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Comfortable with CRM (HubSpot) and Microsoft Office (Word/Excel/Outlook).
  • Curious, resilient, and self‑motivated; keen to master sales fundamentals.

What's On Offer For You

  • Competitive retainer salary plus commission - earnings reflect your success & hard work
  • Company vehicle provided with reasonable private use permitted
  • Wellness benefits: free flu shots, wellbeing initiatives, health insurance discounts
  • Exclusive discounts on buildings and supplier perks after 12 months
  • Birthday leave, service awards, values-based recognition, and regular social events
  • Supportive team environment with full training provided

Right to live and work

You must have the legal right to live and work in New Zealand to be considered for this role.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV and cover letter via SEEK.

Applications close 29 November 2025. We will be phone‑screening and interviewing as applications are received, so don't wait to apply
