Newcastle & Surrounds, NSW

Empower Homes. Elevate Your Career.

At Schneider Electric, we believe access to energy and digital solutions is a basic human right — and so is the opportunity to build a meaningful career.

Our Home & Distribution (H&D) business powers homes and small businesses across Australia with smart, sustainable electrical solutions. Through our iconic Clipsal by Schneider Electric brand, we partner with electricians, builders, wholesalers, and homeowners to deliver safe, stylish, and connected living.

Your Team & Support Network

Join a nationally connected sales team with deep roots in every state — from metro centres to regional communities. While you'll operate independently in the field, you'll be backed by a powerful ecosystem of sales support, marketing, commercial, R&D, and technical experts across Australia and beyond. You'll never feel like you're flying solo.

Your Territory & Impact

We're on the lookout for a driven and customer-focused Area Sales Representative to represent Clipsal in the Newcastle region.

This field-based role offers a well-established territory with strong existing relationships across electrical wholesalers, contractors, and residential builders — and plenty of room to grow. You'll be the face of Clipsal locally, supported by a trusted brand and a national team that's got your back.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own and grow a defined territory across Newcastle and surrounding areas
• Build trusted relationships with electrical wholesalers, contractors, and builders
• Identify new opportunities and convert leads into long-term partnerships
• Deliver engaging product demos and training sessions
• Use digital tools and CRM systems to manage your pipeline and performance
• Collaborate with internal teams to tailor solutions and resolve customer challenges
• Stay ahead of market trends, competitor activity, and upcoming residential projects
• Represent Clipsal at trade events, customer days, and industry functions
• Travel regionally a few days each month to maintain visibility across your territory

Who You Are

You're a natural connector with a passion for helping customers succeed. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and take pride in owning your results.

• Experience in Sales or Account Management, ideally in trade supplies, building products, or technical environments — but we're open to teaching the right person
• A growth mindset and learning agility — curious, adaptable, and quick to learn
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Self-motivated and confident managing your own schedule
• Full driver's licence and willingness to travel regionally

Why Schneider Electric?

• Full product and sales training — we'll set you up for success
• Support from a local, regional, and national team
• Represent a market-leading brand with a loyal customer base
• Access to career development pathways locally and globally
