• Building strong relationships with builders, architects, designers, and subcontractors to position Maxiply as a trusted partner
• Overseeing project delivery, ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality standards are consistently met
• Preparing and presenting detailed proposals, quotes, and project documentation to a high professional standard
• Collaborating with production and operations teams to ensure seamless handover and delivery of projects
• Contributing commercial insights and strategic input to strengthen sales processes and customer experience

What We're Looking For

• Strong ability to influence, negotiate, and convert opportunities into profitable outcomes
• Experience working directly with builders, architects, designers, or subcontractors
• Demonstrated project management skills with the ability to oversee complex projects and manage multiple stakeholders
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to engage at all levels
• Proficiency with CRM systems (e.g. Pipedrive) and Microsoft Office suite
• Commercially minded, highly organised, and results-focused, with the ability to manage competing priorities effectively
• Ambitious, proactive, and motivated by building strong relationships and achieving business growth

About Us

Maxiply is a proud family-owned business, founded over 30 years ago and now in the hands of the third generation. While we're grounded in our strong history, we continue to evolve—driven to solve problems creatively and bring new and better timber products to market.

Fundamental to our success is our commitment to exceptional customer service and to building a team of people who take pride in their work and the relationships they build.
