Graduate Technical Sales | Moorabbin, VIC

Company Overview
Our client is a global market leader in high-performance inorganic pigments, supplying paint, coatings and plastics manufacturers around the world. Their Moorabbin office looks after customers across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, and is home to a small, experienced team who know the product and the industry inside out.

The Opportunity
If you’ve recently completed a science degree and want a career that puts your technical knowledge to work with customers, this graduate role is a strong place to start. You’ll learn from experienced mentors in the business, build a solid understanding of pigments and how customers use them, and develop the commercial skills that underpin a long-term career in technical sales.

Role Overview
This is an office-based role in Moorabbin, well suited to candidates living in Melbourne’s south-east. Around half of your time will focus on administration, including SAP order processing, pricing, customer enquiries and logistics. No prior SAP experience is needed, as you’ll learn the system on the job. The rest of your time involves customer communication, technical support and sales activity across phone, email and Teams.
As your knowledge and confidence grow, you’ll take on more outbound sales and business development work, with a clear pathway into a technical sales career.

  • Process orders through SAP.
  • Coordinate shipping and logistics across Asia and from the US.
  • Help resolve customer issues, with support from senior team members.

  • Learn directly from experienced mentors in a small, supportive Melbourne team.
