Business Development Manager - Attachments
role at
Schlam Payload
Schlam Payload is the global expert in load and haul attachments and we're redefining what's possible. Headquartered in Western Australia, we design and manufacture the industry's best mining truck bodies and buckets for hard rock operations, backed by unmatched product life-cycle support. If you're ready to be part of a team that's shaping the future of mining equipment, this is your opportunity.
If you're driven by precision, passionate about project delivery and thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment this is your moment.
What You'll Be Doing
Your playground is the mining sector and your toolkit is the most respected attachments in the business. Every day you'll be driving outcomes that leave a mark on both Schlam and the industry.
Here's How You'll Make It Happen
Strategic Growth:
You'll take ownership of national sales targets, craft business development strategies that disrupt the market and then deliver on them. Not just hitting the budget, setting the pace.
Client Ownership:
You'll maintain and grow relationships with major mining clients, becoming their go-to for attachments advice, solutions and next-generation gear. You're not just selling, you're embedding Schlam as the first and only choice.
Expert Positioning:
You'll cement yourself as a subject matter expert, someone who understands every detail of buckets, trays and haulage systems, and can turn that technical mastery into commercial advantage.
Collaboration:
Working hand-in-hand with account managers, engineers and product teams, you'll be the bridge between what the market demands and what Schlam delivers.
This is a role where every meeting, every site visit, every handshake has the potential to move the needle for both our clients and our business.
About You
You're ambitious, confident and driven by results. You've worked in mining, capital equipment or mobile equipment manufacturing, and you understand the scale of what's at stake in this industry. When you talk about truck beds, buckets, and haulage systems, you don't just know the terminology, you know the impact they have on a site's bottom line.
Here's What Sets You Apart
Industry Credibility:
You bring a track record of working with major mining equipment and understand the challenges operators face. You know how to cut through the noise and talk solutions that matter.
Sales Firepower:
You've proven you can identify opportunities, close high-value deals and negotiate with senior decision-makers. You're comfortable handling deals worth millions.
Commercial Intelligence:
Numbers matter to you. You understand cost analysis, market trends and how to position products in a way that makes ROI crystal clear.
Influence & Presence:
You're as confident leading a high-stakes presentation in a corporate office as you are standing on a dusty mine site in steel caps. You adapt, influence and command respect.
In short, you're not just another rep chasing KPIs. You're a
strategic operator
ready to dominate the attachments game.
Why Work for Schlam?
Because this isn't just a job, it's a chance to plant your flag in a company that's already changing the game.
Schlam has carved out a reputation that competitors hate and clients love. We don't just build buckets and attachments we build
weapons for productivity
. When miners want gear that doesn't just last but dominates, they call us. That's the brand you'll be carrying. That's the firepower you'll have behind you.
But here's the real difference: at Schlam, you're not a cog in the machine. You're part of a team that values bold ideas, celebrates wins and pushes each other to break new ground. You'll get the autonomy to run your territory, the flexibility to work how you work best, and the recognition that comes with delivering results in an arena where performance speaks louder than promises.
What's in it for you?
A serious package: A competitive base that matches your expertise.
Flexibility that respects your life: WFH one day per week + flexible hours that give you balance.
Industry clout: You'll be representing products that are already dominating mine sites. No need to "convince" you're walking in with credibility.
Backed to win: A leadership team that believes in investing in growth, your ideas and your success.
At Schlam, mediocrity is the enemy. If you're looking for a role where your work makes waves, your name gets remembered and your results move an entire industry forward this is it.
