  • Handling customer requests and providing product information, 
  • Preparing quotes and dealing with the sales process.
  • Helping customers with every aspect of their purchase. 
  • Ensuring the safe and correct movement of our products around the branch (safety is at the forefront of everything we do, so you’ll ensure standards never slip). 

What experience do you need?

As this is a key customer facing role, you need the ability to provide great customer service, build effective relationships and work as part of a team. We can teach you all the rest.  

Due to Health & Safety requirements all applicants must be a minimum of 18 years old.
  
Does this sound like you?
  • Friendly & outgoing: you will enjoy communicating face-to-face with customers and building strong relationships. 
  • Highly adaptable, resilient & tenacious: you will have the drive and energy levels to thrive in a fast-paced branch environment.
