Base + Commission + Professional Development!
Drummond & Etheridge is a leading supplier of John Deere equipment throughout the South Island. Through our extensive network of 11 branches, we supply a range of quality brands to the agricultural, construction, forestry, commercial, lifestyle and adventure/recreation sectors. Built on a reputation of talking straight with customers and providing quality service long after the initial sale, we're passionate about our people, our customers, and our industry.
Joining our existing Large Ag, Construction and Forestry sales leaders, we have two exciting new Sales Manager roles available, developed to provide leadership and drive the strategic direction of our sales in two key areas of the market:
Small Ag & Turf Sales Manager – Overseeing a portfolio of product lines servicing markets including small ag, turf, dairy and high-value crop.
Machinery & ATV Sales Manager – Overseeing a sales portfolio including machinery, implements and ATV product lines.
These roles would preferably be based at either our Rolleston or Ashburton branches (Canterbury) with travel required across the South Island to support our branches and customers. However, they may be based from one of our other South Island branches for the right candidate.

Sales Strategy & Market Growth: Developing, implementing and monitoring the strategic plan for your respective markets, informed by industry trends and driving growth in market share.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Regularly collaborating with D&E departments to ensure customer service excellence, advancement of marketing and promotional opportunities, and efficient and seamless integration of sales and aftermarket services.
