Internal Sales Specialist

About Us South Pacific Welding Group (SPW) is a leading welding equipment supplier in New Zealand. Partnered with BOC, the world leader in gases, engineering and healthcare as members of Linde PLC. We are experts in innovation and present a diverse range of products and services to the wider business community. SPW ensure our customers get performance and reliability from our products and services and we achieve this through our great people. 

About the Role This is a hands-on Internal Sales Specialist role in a busy industrial branch environment. Are you someone who just gets how things work?

Maybe you’ve spent time welding, fitting, fixing, or working with tools. Maybe you’re the kind of person who doesn’t stand around waiting to be told what’s next — you just jump in and make it happen.

If that sounds like you, we want you on our team.

It’s not just a desk job. It’s a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-involved, make-it-happen role where your trade knowledge and initiative will make a real impact every day.

What You’ll Be Doing No two days are the same — and that’s how you like it. You’ll be working across sales, service, and branch operations to keep customers happy and the branch running smoothly.

• Answering phones and serving trade customers at the counter
• Quote, process orders, and identify sales opportunities
• Recommend welding and gas solutions to suit customer needs
• Support warehouse dispatch and maintain stock accuracy
• Maintain merchandising and housekeeping standards
• Resolve customer queries efficiently and professionally
• Contribute to branch sales, margin and service targets

What We’re Looking For We need someone practical, proactive, and customer-focused — a team player who understands the trade environment and likes to get stuck in.

• Welding or mechanical experience (highly desirable)
• Background in industrial retail, warehousing, or internal sales
• Knowledge of welding products and applications
• Strong communication skills and customer focus
• Good computer skills and attention to detail
• Can-do attitude with a commitment to safety and teamwork
• Willingness to learn and grow within the business

If you’re reliable, keen and ready to jump in wherever needed – don’t wait. Hit apply and let’s get you started! We look forward to receiving your complete application (cover letter, resume, relevant certificates and / or licenses) via our online job market.

Applicants must be based in New Zealand and have full working rights. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

SPW is a well-established specialist welding supply network across New Zealand, backed by the global strength of Linde. You’ll join a business that values trust, expertise, and local service – and a team that’s geared for growth.

If you’re passionate about the welding industry, motivated to make your mark, and ready to build real success in the field, we want to hear from you.

Why you’ll love working with us We value bold thinkers and proactive doers. You’ll have the freedom to go after new opportunities and the support of a high-performing team behind you. Your ideas will matter, your effort will be noticed, and your results will open doors.

At Linde, you’ll be empowered to make an impact – on your customers, your team, and the wider business.
