Do you know what chefs and cooks need – because you’ve been there? Or maybe you’ve worked in sales and know how to build strong relationships that help businesses grow? Bidfood Wollongong is looking for a Sales Representative who understands the pace of the industry and the value of great service to join us at our Albion Park Rail branch.
This isn’t a desk job. It’s hands-on, people-focused and built on real-world experience. You’ll draw on what you know about industry, people and kitchen management to build trust, have smart conversations and help your customers succeed.
You’ll be organised, confident with systems and sharp on detail – ready to recommend products and deliver exceptional results.
About the role
Whether you’ve worked in sales, front-of-house or behind the pass, you’ll bring a mix of industry knowledge, people skills and commercial instinct to help customers get what they need.
This is a people-first role. You’ll be out and about, talking to chefs, checking in with customers, maintaining strong relationships and building new ones. As the main point of contact for Bidfood customers, you’ll be trusted to understand their needs, recommend products and help keep their businesses running smoothly. Internally, you’ll collaborate with the warehouse, purchasing and driver teams to ensure a high level of service from end to end.
Your day will include:
Visiting customers to strengthen relationships and recommend products
Inputting and processing customer orders accurately and efficiently
Ensuring KPIs and sales targets are achieved
Responding to customer queries
Reporting on sales and business opportunities at regular meetings
Coordinating with purchasing and warehouse teams to deliver outstanding service
Processing quotes and sales enquiries with care and precision
Occasionally assisting with deliveries to better understand customer and operational needs
This is a Monday - Friday role (with the occasional weekend), offering lifestyle balance and job security. It provides the chance to apply what you already know, build your sales and service skills, and support customers in a practical, meaningful way.
About you
You know foodservice. Maybe you’ve been a chef, a manager or a Bidfood customer. You get the pace, the pressure and what it takes to deliver consistently. You’re a people person - confident, calm and genuinely driven to help others succeed. You understand the value of great service and know how to build trust with every interaction. Sales experience, foodservice experience or an FMCG background will be highly regarded.
Skills and experience
To thrive in this role, you’ll bring a strong understanding of foodservice, a natural way with people and the ability to stay sharp under pressure. You will also be:
Confident communicating with chefs, managers and business owners
Organised and efficient with order entry and admin tasks
Comfortable using systems and learning on the go
Able to prioritise in a fast-paced, changing environment
Quick to pick up product knowledge and apply it to customer needs
Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership
A team player who collaborates well across sales, warehouse and delivery teams
