About us
At APD, we don’t just manufacture tanks; we are shaping a better future through innovative, sustainable water and systems solutions. As a proudly New Zealand-owned leader in thermoplastic fabrication and rotational moulding, our purpose is simple: Doing Good from the Ground Up.
We are a fast-growing, medium-sized manufacturer specializing in products that protect the environment while prioritizing easy installation. We are known as solution providers designing and engineering products that meet exact customer requirements, saving time and avoiding problems on-site. Our continued growth is driven by our passion for expanding our product range and the diverse markets we serve.
About the role
As a Plastics Fabricator in APD’s Chemical Tank team, you will play a key role in manufacturing HDPE storage systems and bespoke engineered products for a wide range of industries across New Zealand.
This is a hands-on technical role suited to an experienced fabricator who takes pride in precision workmanship, problem-solving, and producing products to a high standard. You will be working in one of New Zealand’s leading HDPE fabrication workshops, using modern equipment and specialised tools to fabricate, assemble, and weld custom products ranging from small bespoke components through to large-scale chemical tanks up to 60,000 litres and beyond.
No two jobs are the same, making this an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, technical challenges, and working within a skilled and supportive team environment. The role may also include occasional site installation work, providing further diversity and development opportunities.

About the Role
Are you a natural relationship builder who brings a positive mindset into any room you walk into? We’re looking for a high-energy, resilient, and driven Account Manager (Merchants) to take ownership of our vital merchant channels.
This is a dynamic hunter role focused on driving growth in the front stages of the sales cycle. You will be out in the field walking into new environments, striking up instant, engaging conversations, and turning first impressions into long-term strategic partnerships. While the role covers the wider North Island (requiring flexibility for occasional travel), around 80% of your time will be in Auckland managing a portfolio of over 100 high-value touchpoints.
With our Customer Service team backing you up on quoting, post-sale admin, and after-care, your sole focus is to hunt opportunities, ask the bold questions, and challenge merchants to think differently. As you grow in the role, you’ll expand your scope beyond the shop floor – developing your business and financial acumen to engage directly with head office decision-makers, including Category Managers, Product Manages and Managing Directors.
Key Responsibilities
Responsible for major building and plumbing merchant accounts, including Plumbing World, Reece, Chesters, Placemakers, Bunnings and other major drainage retailers.

About the Role
Are you a self-motivated sales professional who loves turning complex commercial challenges into closed sales? We’re looking for an autonomous, solution-focused Account Manager to expand our reach across key regional North Island markets.
In this dynamic hunter/gatherer role, you’ll take full ownership of our stormwater and drainage portfolio across a wide geographic footprint – primarily targeting the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Wellington regions. You will navigate a diverse stakeholder landscape, focusing on significant drainage installers, developers and where needed, supporting key specification engagement at a local level. You’ll leverage APD’s market-leading brand reputation to solve real world site problems, unlock project opportunities early, and drive revenue.
Because the main team is based in Auckland, you’ll enjoy a high degree of independence while acting as a sharp internal advocate for your regional clients. You’ll also lend strategic support to our local merchant channels across your territory where needed. With our Customer Service team managing quoting and post-sale servicing, your core mission is clear: get out in front of potential decision-makers, uncover opportunities, and turn our trusted brand into bottom-line growth.
