About the opportunity 

We are seeking a Commercial Specialist to support our dynamic Sales Area – Australia, NZ and PNG. In this role, you’ll assist and lead sales teams in the preparation of high-quality quotations, tenders, and customer contracts, engage in customer negotiations,  ensure Sandvik’s governance requirements are understood and met through advice and adherence to global processes and systems, and assist in the execution and management of customer contracts. 

This role plays a critical part in assisting our sales teams and other stakeholders to ensure risk mitigation through compliance and consistency across all commercial processes. 

This is a Monday to Friday role offering flexibility to work in a hybrid model - a mix of remote work-from-home and in-office attendance. The position may involve occasional travel for business meetings or events. The successful candidate must be adaptable to shifting schedules and priorities to meet the demands of the role effectively.  

Responsibilities:  

• Assist in the drafting and submission of compliant and professional quotations, tenders, and contracts 

• Manage system approval of submissions and contract registration  

• Support the sales teams through training and mentoring 

• Developing quality customer-facing documents 

• Maintain templates and databases 

• Promote efficient commercial practices and policy adherence  

• Facilitate alignment of local sales with global requirements, e.g. with respect to bundling requirements 

• Ensure all sales documentation is audit-ready and risk-compliant, and conduct compliance reviews and audits 

​

About you  

You will either have proven experience in a commercial, contracts, or sales support role, with a strong understanding of contract management systems and approval workflows, or you will demonstrate that you have the inherent attributes and curiosity to quickly gain and apply such experience. You will possess excellent communication skills, be analytical, practical, have high attention to detail, and proficiency in Microsoft Office. The ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines is essential. Desirable qualifications include a degree in Business, Commerce, or Law, experience in the mining or construction industry, familiarity with Salesforce or similar CRM systems, and knowledge of procurement, marketing, and risk governance processes. 

We recognise that people bring different strengths and experiences. If your strengths are more in training, stakeholder engagement or portfolio management, rather than traditional contract review, negotiation and execution, we'd still love to hear from you. We value diverse perspectives and the different ways people can contribute to our Commercial team. 

 
To be eligible for this role, you must have the right to live and work in Australia. Please note that as part of our recruitment process, you will be required to successfully complete a pre-employment medical.
