Type: Full-time Graduate Opportunity
Positions Available: 3

Kickstart your career with one of NZ’s fastest-growing outdoor brands.

At SmartGrass, we’re redefining outdoor living with premium artificial grass, and we’re expanding fast.

We’re after ambitious, people-focused graduates who want more than just a job. This is your chance to build a real career in sales, surrounded by a team that backs you, challenges you, and helps you grow.

This isn’t a desk-bound graduate role. You’ll be out meeting clients, learning from industry leaders, and seeing your impact from day one.

Why SmartGrass?

At SmartGrass, your growth is our priority.

Our 18-month programme is designed to take you from graduate to fully-fledged Sales Consultant.
You’ll learn how to sell with confidence, connect with customers, and deliver results that matter.

High achievers can reach consultant level before the programme ends and promotions mean:
💰 Increased base salary
📈 Higher commission percentage
🚗 Company vehicle

We’re a business built on growth, expanding across three New Zealand locations with plans to go international. That means real opportunities to progress into senior sales roles, explore other departments, or even take up national or future overseas placements. If you’re driven to succeed, you’ll progress fast. Your results set the pace.

Learn. Perform. Grow.

Personalised development plans & mentoring
SmartGrass University training modules

Who we’re looking for

Whatever you studied, if you’re hungry to learn, confident with people, and serious about building a career, we want you.

You’ll thrive here if you’re:
✅ Confident, people-focused, and proactive
✅ Hungry to learn and grow
✅ Energised by targets and results
✅ Someone who doesn’t settle for average and backs themselves to succeed
✅ Looking for a fast-track way to increase your income through performance

Experience in retail or hospitality during your degree is advantageous but not essential; we’ll teach you everything else.

If you’ve got a growth mindset, a drive to perform, and a desire to build a career, not just tick a box, you’ll fit right in.
