Ecolab’s Institutional division partners with aged care facilities, hotels, hospitals and commercial kitchens to deliver safer, cleaner and more efficient environments. We’re seeking a motivated and customer-focused Territory Manager to help grow and support our customers.

About the Role

As a Territory Manager, you will be the face of Ecolab Institutional, managing a portfolio of customers while identifying new business opportunities through distributor partnerships and direct relationships.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys variety—mixing customer engagement, technical service, problem-solving and commercial growth. You’ll spend time on the road, occasionally staying a few nights away per month, supporting aged care customers and other institutional partners.

You will also undertake basic on-site installation, troubleshooting and maintenance of Ecolab equipment—so comfort with the use of basic hand and power tools is important.
