  • Assist customers at the Trade Counter, process payments, order stock, update customer accounts and provide the best service possible to our loyal customers

  • Help to prepare customer orders, load and unload customer and supplier vehicles using a Forklift Truck to minimise manual handling (training will be provided)

  • Check incoming deliveries and report missing or damaged products

  • Maintain stock levels in both the shop and yard areas, carrying out regular stock counts

  • Keep the branch looking clean and tidy, to make a great first impression on our customers

  • Make Health & Safety a priority and demonstrate how you can keep yourself and others safe at work

What's in it for you?

  • A supportive team environment where your contributions are recognised and valued

  • Opportunities to grow your skills and career within our organisation

  • Flexible working arrangements to help you balance work and life

Required Skills and Experience

  • Previous industry experience preferred but not essential

  • Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise work accordingly

  • Strong communication skills

  • Confident working both indoors and outdoors and a health and safety focus

  • Comfortable in a role involving extensive manual handling of bulky items

  • A driving license would be a benefit for this role, as there may be some relief delivery driving
