About Flottweg

Flottweg is a global leader in mechanical solid-liquid separation. For nearly 70 years, we have designed and manufactured advanced decanter centrifuges, Tricanters®, separators and belt presses for customers worldwide.

Our equipment supports food and beverage processing, brewing, rendering, edible oils, biofuels, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and environmental applications.

As we continue to grow our Australian operations, we are seeking an experienced Sales Engineer to develop new opportunities and strengthen our presence across the local market.

The Opportunity

This is a technical, customer-facing sales role focused on capital equipment and engineered process solutions.

You will work closely with customers to understand their manufacturing processes, production challenges and commercial objectives. From there, you will help develop solutions that improve process efficiency, product recovery, equipment reliability and overall performance.

The position combines new-business development with strategic account management. You will develop new markets and applications while building long-term relationships with established customers across Australia.

Direct experience with centrifuges or separation equipment would be highly regarded, although it is not essential. We are also interested in candidates with backgrounds across pumps, rotating equipment, food-processing machinery, packaging equipment or other engineered capital equipment.

Previous experience working with customers in the food and beverage manufacturing or processing industry is an important requirement.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will identify and develop capital-equipment opportunities across food and beverage processing, brewing, rendering, edible oils and related manufacturing markets.

The role will involve meeting customers, visiting production sites and developing a strong understanding of their technical and operational requirements. You will prepare quotations, proposals and formal tenders while managing opportunities through what can be an extended and consultative sales cycle.

You will present Flottweg’s technologies, support equipment demonstrations and work closely with local and international engineering teams to develop the most appropriate solution for each application.

You will also represent Flottweg at relevant exhibitions, conferences and industry events while continuing to develop new relationships and applications across the Australian market.

About You

You are an experienced technical sales professional with a background in capital equipment, process machinery or engineered industrial solutions.

Your experience may have involved industrial pumps, rotating equipment, compressors, fluid-handling systems, packaging machinery, food-processing equipment, centrifuges or separation technologies.

Most importantly, you will have genuine exposure to food and beverage manufacturing, processing or production environments. You understand the importance of equipment reliability, production uptime, process efficiency and delivering solutions that provide a measurable commercial benefit.

You will also bring:

• A strong mechanical and industrial aptitude

• Consultative, solution-focused sales experience

• Confidence managing complex sales opportunities

• The ability to interpret customer processes and applications

• Strong relationship-development and presentation skills

What’s on Offer

Flottweg offers a competitive base salary plus superannuation, a performance-based bonus and a fully maintained company vehicle.

You will receive comprehensive product and application training, access to experienced local and international engineering teams, and the opportunity to represent an established global manufacturer across the Australian market.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Sales Engineer who wants to combine technical knowledge, customer engagement and business development within the food and beverage processing industry.
