Sales Consultant - Tractor

Sales Consultant – Tractor - West Coast & Tasman| Drummond & Etheridge

Turn your agricultural experience into a rewarding sales career.

At Drummond & Etheridge, we've been supporting New Zealand's agricultural industry for generations. Since expanding into construction and forestry, we've continued to build on that legacy, representing world-leading John Deere equipment and a portfolio of premium global brands. Today, we're known for quality products, trusted advice and outstanding customer service across every market we serve

We're looking for a practical, people-focused Sales Consultant to join our Small–Mid Ag & Turf team in our Greymouth or Nelson Branch.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who knows farming or machinery and is ready for a new challenge. Whether you've been working on the tools, operating machinery, servicing equipment or farming yourself, we'll give you the training, mentoring and support to build a successful career in sales.

You'll inherit an established customer base, represent the world-leading John Deere brand and help farmers find the right equipment to improve their businesses.

About the role

This role is about building relationships, understanding customers' businesses and helping them make the right decisions.

You'll:

• Work with an established portfolio of loyal customers across both regions.
• Build trusted long-term relationships with farmers and rural businesses.
• Help customers choose the right John Deere tractors and equipment for their operation.
• Demonstrate equipment and support customer field days and events.
• Identify opportunities to grow your customer base and develop new business.
• Keep in regular contact with customers, providing practical advice and ongoing support.
• Manage your sales activity and customer information using our CRM systems.

You'll be backed by an experienced Sales Manager, a supportive Branch Manager and a business that's genuinely invested in helping you succeed.

About you

We're more interested in your attitude and industry knowledge than whether you've worked in sales before.

You'll ideally bring:

• 2+ years hands-on proven experience in agriculture, rural contracting, agricultural machinery or a related industry.
• Practical knowledge of tractors or agricultural equipment.
• A genuine interest in helping customers solve problems.
• Confidence building relationships and communicating with a wide range of people.
• Strong organisational skills and the motivation to follow through.
• Good computer skills and the willingness to learn new systems.
• A positive, team-first attitude.

Sales experience is an advantage—but it's certainly not essential.

If you've got the credibility to talk with farmers and the motivation to learn, we'll teach you the sales side.

Why join Drummond & Etheridge?

This is more than just another sales role.

It's an opportunity to build a long-term career with one of New Zealand's most respected agricultural businesses, representing premium products that customers genuinely want to own.

In return, we offer:

• Competitive salary plus incentive opportunities.
• Permanent employment with a secure payroll.
• Guaranteed hours of 40 per week.
• Company vehicle.
• Up to six weeks' annual leave.
• Staff discounts and retailer benefits.
• Employee referral programme.
• Confidential Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
• Ongoing product, sales and leadership training.
• Career development within a successful South Island business.

If you're ready to take your agricultural knowledge in a new direction and build a career where your relationships, practical experience and passion for the industry can really shine, we'd love to hear from you.
