We are looking for a good kiwi battler who is as comfortable leaning on a farm gate and talking all things rural as they are in the yard and showroom exploring customer's projects.
Strong relationships are at the heart of what we do. You'll do the leg work that makes things happen for rural producers; in return we'll provide you with a wide range of opportunities to develop skills and help you progress.
- Regular hours - paid weekly
- On the job training & forklift/wheels endorsements paid for
- Team discount on commencement
About the Role
Due to an internal transfer we have an opportunity for our next Outdoor Timber Specialist (Sales/Yardperson) to join our team, based at our Retail Store, 520 Ohaupo Road, Te Awamutu.
You'll greet customers with a smile and 'can do' attitude, talk to them either in person or over the phone, finding out their product needs to ensure they get the best value option for their project. We work as part of small team here so being in the yard putting orders together, unloading/loading trucks, using the forklift/loader and putting product away will also be required.
Standard hours of work are Monday to Friday 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Saturday morning is worked on a roster amongst the team.
Skills and Experience
While a background in either customer service, yard work, farming or forklift experience may be an advantage, as full training will be provided, it is more important that you are able to demonstrate:
- An ability to match our rural customer dedication and passion to producing and supplying natural products.
- Self-motivation and reliability.
- Honesty, integrity and a commitment to deliver what you promise.
- Ability to converse with and understand our customer base about all things farming.
- Being the sort of character that can get on with and relate to a wide range of people.
- Physical fitness appropriate for lifting timber/posts with a commitment to safe work practices.
- A willingness to be trained and learn new skills.
You will need a full driver's licence (or the ability to get soon) as you will be required to drive our vehicles and get your F/W licence endorsements once trained.
What's in it for you?
- We have in-house training and online learning opportunities. We also pay for external training as needed such as forklift, wheels and first aid.
- The satisfaction of building ongoing relationships with our customers - not just transacting a sale.
- A position that can suit different stages of working life, whether you are starting out, looking for a change or to develop your current skills.
- Team discount on commencement.
- As well as getting to work with great team mates who are committed to supporting each other and are recognised for their specialist knowledge. Read about some of our Goldpine team at https://www.goldpine.co.nz/news-and-events/goldpiners
