Company
For 81 years, we've achieved success through our ability to innovate, placing a clear emphasis on how we best serve our customers’ needs. As demand continues to grow, we have expanded rapidly, now delivering a superior range of dry goods, frozen and chilled products, fresh seafood and meat, confectionery, paper products, and cleaning solutions.
In recent years, we’ve seen significant growth and invested in our systems and processes, building a close partnership with Woolworths Group that has continued to deliver high-quality service for our customers and suppliers.
In 2024, Woolworths moved to a 100% interest in the PFD business, bringing PFD exciting opportunities as a strategic part of the Group. Sharing expertise across both teams will ensure our continued success and drive further growth and unlock our collective potential.
About this Position
Behind every café breakfast, school canteen, and restaurant service is a dedicated team making it happen. In Alice Springs, our Sales Representative is the face of PFD, building trusted relationships, supporting local businesses, and ensuring our customers have what they need to keep their communities fed.
This is a hands-on sales role where you’ll manage a portfolio of customers, representing half of the Alice Springs customer base. You’ll spend your days out on the road, visiting local businesses, strengthening relationships, and finding opportunities to grow their baskets.
You’ll work independently across Alice Springs and the surrounding 90km radius, with the support of a friendly and down to earth team of 7. You’ll enjoy both autonomy and the backing of an award-winning Branch Manager who’s known for her supportive, hands off style.
This is a full-time, salaried role (Monday to Friday, 8am - 4pm) and comes with a company vehicle, tools of the trade, and four weeks annual leave.
Key Responsibilities
- Build strong, reliable relationships with a diverse customer base.
- Visit existing accounts regularly, delivering exceptional customer service.
- Proactively sell and promote PFD’s product range, not just take orders.
- Identify opportunities to grow sales through upselling and cross-selling.
- Represent PFD with professionalism as the local “face of the business.”
- Collaborate closely with warehouse and support teams to ensure seamless service.
What We’re Looking For
To thrive in this role, you will bring:
- Reliability and consistent, dependable, and customer-focused.
- Strong communication skills and able to engage with people from all walks of life.
- Sales drive and confidence to promote and sell, not just process orders.
- Self-motivation and capable of working independently, unsupervised.
- Local knowledge and based in Alice Springs and connected to the community.
- Product knowledge and ability to learn and represent a broad foodservice range.
