Working as part of a small team, you will be responsible for providing excellent customer service, maximising sales opportunities and supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the site.

• Operate a forklift as required
  
  
• Carry out regular checks of the site and ensure standards are maintained
  
  
• Maintain a clean, tidy and professional working environment
  
  
• Follow all Health & Safety procedures and company policies
  
  
• Support with customer accounts and outstanding payments where required
  
  
• Work independently when required, including lone working
  
  
• Take responsibility for the site when required in the absence of management
  
  
• Assist with general operational and ad hoc duties
  
  

About YouWe're looking for someone who is:

• Commercially aware with a proactive approach
  
  
• Organised and attentive to detail

• Practical and willing to get involved with the operational side of the role
  
  
• Reliable and confident following procedures
  
  
• Happy to work a 40hr week and weekends
• Ideally with a valid FLT licence but this can be trained
  
  

Previous experience in a customer-facing, sales, trade counter, branch, warehouse or operational environment would be advantageous.

This role would suit someone looking to combine their customer service and sales skills with a practical, hands-on working environment.

What's on Offer
