Liquip Sales NZ is entering a new phase of growth, with a focus on how we operate, support customers, and take our products to market. This is an opportunity to step into a role with real scope and ownership.

We are looking for a degree-qualified engineer to join us as a Technical Sales Engineer. The role blends sales and engineering, and we encourage mechanical or mechatronics engineers interested in customer-facing work to apply. It is a hands-on position working closely with customers, contributing to product development, and delivering practical engineering solutions.

We also welcome expressions of interest from engineers with relevant experience who are keen to contribute as the business grows.

We are a Wellington-based sales engineering business with nearly 40 years of experience. We supply equipment, parts, and engineered solutions, along with repair and maintenance services, across the fuel, aviation, and petrochemical sectors. Our work spans refueling infrastructure, tank truck builds, fuel storage, and dispensing systems. We operate nationwide, supported by long-standing customer relationships and strong technical capability.

Product Development and Technical Improvement

  • Assist with research, development, and implementation of new product concepts and technical solutions

  • Identify opportunities for product improvement based on customer feedback, operational experience, and market needs

  • Participate in product testing, prototyping, and evaluation to support product development

About you

  • University-qualified in engineering (mechanical or mechatronics preferred)

  • Strong technical foundation and practical problem-solving ability

  • Confident communicator who enjoys working with customers

  • Interest in both engineering and commercial outcomes

  • CAD experience

  • Self-driven, adaptable, and keen to take ownership

Why join us

  • Opportunity to help shape a growing, modernising business

  • Real ownership and autonomy

  • Hands-on work with tangible engineering outcomes

  • Supportive, close-knit team environment
