Job Description

BlueScope is an Australian-born global success story spanning 15 countries. Our team of over 16,500 people is our strength and we want our people to be safe, successful and well. We’re leaders and innovators in transforming steel into smart products and solutions that support society, today and in the future. We’re proud of brands, like COLORBOND ® steel that inspire and protect everything from hospitals to bridges and stadiums.

The Opportunity

BlueScope Distribution is looking for an Account Manager to join our team based in Launceston, TAS. BlueScope Distribution is a single-source provider of product, processing and service solutions in steel and aluminium product. The business supports customers in a variety of industries and works with them to help deliver projects on time and to specification. BlueScope Distribution supports its customers by helping them find the freedom to do what they do best.

This is an exciting opportunity to step into an established and well-supported territory, managing a portfolio of existing customers across 400 square kilometre radius.

Thinking about a fresh start for 2027? We’re happy to work towards a January 2027 commencement, while remaining open to an earlier start if that is what you're seeking.

You’ll also enjoy the tools and support you need to succeed on the road, including a company vehicle and fuel card, laptop and phone.

What's in it for you!

• step into an established and well-maintained customer portfolio, allowing you to focus on building relationships rather than cold calling

• manage and grow an established portfolio of customer accounts across Northern Tasmania
• build and maintain strong relationships with key customers through regular face-to-face engagement
• identify opportunities to increase value and strengthen customer partnerships
• provide customers with product, service and market insights
