Technical Sales Engineer - Power

About the Company

This established New Zealand business operates in the power, metering and control systems space, supporting utilities, contractors and industrial clients across the country.

With a strong technical offering and long-standing presence in the market, the business is now looking to strengthen its South Island capability following recent team changes.

About the Role

This is not a traditional sales role.

You’ll act as the bridge between customers and technical solutions, working closely with clients to understand requirements, provide guidance, and support the delivery of fit-for-purpose power and metering systems.

Key responsibilities include:

• Working with utilities, contractors and industrial clients across the South Island
• Supporting RFQs, proposals and technical solutions
• Acting as the go-to technical contact for customers
• Building and re-establishing relationships across an existing customer base
• Identifying new opportunities through engagement rather than hard selling
• Travelling as required for client visits, site support and industry events

This is a role with a high level of autonomy, supported by a wider technical and sales team.

About You

You’ll come from an electrical or power systems background and be comfortable engaging with customers in a technical capacity.

Typically, you will bring:

• Experience in power systems, HV/LV distribution, metering or protection
• A background in field engineering, commissioning or technical support
• The ability to confidently engage with clients and explain technical solutions
• Exposure to RFQs, proposals or project-based work
• Strong communication skills and a practical, solutions-focused mindset

You don’t need to be a career salesperson, but you do need to enjoy working with people.

What’s on Offer

• Salary in the range of $120k–$130k
• Company vehicle
• Medical and life insurance
• Flexibility with work from home
• A role with genuine autonomy and scope to grow
