About us:

We’re McBrimar, a family-owned construction company based in Oamaru. We deliver fixed-price home & land packages and bespoke design builds across Otago — and with our own land developments, reserved for McBrimar customers, we create opportunities from the ground up.

We complete around 30 homes annually and have built our reputation on:

​

• Craftsmanship (we’re Registered Master Builders)

• Transparency

• Strong client relationships. Providing seamless customer journey, from first meeting to key handover 

• Delivering on time and on budget

• Providing the “Full Service”, taking care of everything from subdivision to landscaping. 

​

At McBrimar, we don’t just build homes — we build trust. And when challenges come up, our clients know one thing: we’ve got this.

​

 

About you:

You’re a proven sales operator who knows how to connect with people and close deals without the hard sell. You can talk plans, budgets, and backyards in plain english — giving clients peace of mind through every step.

To thrive with us, you’ll:

​

• Have a track record in sales, preferably in residential building or construction sales

• Be strong on negotiation, relationship-building, and presenting

• Ideally be able to understand architectural/plan specs and translate them clearly for clients, or at a minimum have a passion for home building/renovations

• Be confident with sales/CRM tools and pipeline reporting

• Have commercial acumen (margins, pricing, cost impacts)

• Be self-motivated, target-driven, and client-first in your approach

• Hold a valid driver’s licence and be willing to travel to sites

 

​

About the role:

This isn’t about pushing cookie-cutter houses. It’s about helping clients realise their dreams — while keeping the process smooth and stress-free.

​

As Sales & Business Development Manager, you’ll:

• Manage all inbound/outbound leads and drive them through the sales funnel

• Act as primary contact from first enquiry to contract signing and handover

• Present and promote home & land packages and design-build options

• Maintain pipeline health, conversion metrics, and reporting

• Collaborate with architecture, estimating, marketing, and operations

• Ensure smooth contract handovers to the project team

• Be an ambassador for McBrimar in the region — building networks with realtors, land developers, and referral partners

 

​

Why work with us?

At McBrimar, you’ll get more than just a sales gig. You’ll get:

​

• Competitive salary with earning potential $150-200k, (including base salary + vehicle + commission) with tiered uplifts for above-target performance

• Clear commission schedule (paid after projects commence)

• Additional bonuses for stretch targets and referrals

• Enjoy quality leads from our own developments — around 20 new sections each year, exclusively for McBrimar customers

• A chance to be part of a respected local brand with strong growth plans

• A family-run company culture — straightforward, down-to-earth, and committed to doing things right

• To live in Oamaru – a stunning coastal town surrounded by mountains and lakes, where you can enjoy an incredible lifestyle alongside a welcoming community

• Relocation assistance available for out-of-town candidates to ensure a smooth transition.
