National Business Development Manager – Electrical

Location: Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

An exciting opportunity for a commercially driven sales professional to lead national business development across the electrical wholesale and solar sectors in Papua New Guinea.

Global Talent Search is seeking an energetic, ambitious and results-oriented National Business Development Manager to join an established and highly regarded organisation in Papua New Guinea.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a motivated B2B sales leader who thrives on building relationships, identifying commercial opportunities and driving revenue growth across a diverse customer base.

Our client is looking for someone with genuine drive, a strong commercial mindset and the confidence to develop new business while strengthening existing customer relationships.

About the Role Reporting to senior management, you will be responsible for driving national B2B sales growth across a comprehensive range of electrical products, equipment, cables, components and solar solutions.

Working with commercial, industrial, construction, mining and trade customers, you will identify opportunities to supply electrical products for projects, infrastructure developments and ongoing operational requirements.

This is a hands-on, commercially focused position requiring a proactive approach to business development, customer engagement and sales leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive national business development and revenue growth across electrical wholesale and solar product categories.
• Identify, develop and secure new B2B customers across commercial, industrial, construction and resources sectors.
• Build strong relationships with contractors, electrical businesses, project managers, procurement teams and corporate customers.
• Develop strategic sales plans to increase market penetration, revenue and profitability.
• Identify major projects, tender opportunities and ongoing supply contracts.
• Work closely with internal technical and product specialists to deliver effective customer solutions.
• Negotiate commercial agreements, pricing and supply arrangements.
• Maintain a strong sales pipeline, monitor performance and deliver against agreed revenue targets.
• Represent the business professionally while building a strong presence across the PNG market.

About You We are particularly interested in commercially astute sales professionals who combine industry knowledge with energy, ambition and a genuine passion for business development.

Ideally, you will offer:

• A strong track record in B2B sales, business development or commercial sales management.
• Experience within electrical wholesale, electrical contracting, industrial supplies, engineering products or related technical distribution sectors.
• A good understanding of electrical products, cables, components, circuits and the requirements of commercial or industrial customers.
• Exposure to solar products, renewable energy or associated electrical solutions would be advantageous.
• Strong commercial acumen, negotiation skills and the ability to identify profitable business opportunities.
• A proactive, energetic and highly motivated approach to developing new business.
• Excellent relationship management, communication and customer engagement skills.
• The ability to operate independently, take ownership and consistently deliver results.
• An understanding of Australian and New Zealand electrical standards, or a willingness to develop this knowledge.

An electrical trade or engineering background would be highly regarded but is not essential. Formal electrical engineering qualifications are not required, and technical product support and training will be available.

Above all, we are seeking a commercially driven individual with the right attitude, strong sales instincts and the determination to succeed.

The Opportunity

This position offers the opportunity to make a significant commercial impact within an established business operating in an exciting and developing market.
You will have the autonomy to build relationships, pursue new opportunities and contribute directly to the continued growth of a substantial national B2B operation.

Remuneration & Benefits:

• Excellent Salary package depending on experience.
• Attractive additional expatriate benefits, including accommodation and other allowances.
• Opportunity to develop and grow a significant national sales portfolio.
• Support from an established business with technical expertise and a broad product offering.
• Single-status expatriate candidates preferred, although family arrangements may be considered.

If you are an ambitious, commercially focused sales professional with experience in electrical products, industrial distribution or related B2B markets, we would welcome a confidential discussion.
