• Key Development: Extensive internal training across Sales, Operations, and Warehousing

• End Goal: Progression to Assistant Branch Manager and Branch Management positions and ultimately Senior Management role.

What We Offer You

• Fully Funded Qualification: We will fully fund and support you to complete the initial Certificate III in Warehousing.

• Comprehensive Training: You will be trained in all facets of the business, from customer service, supply chain logistics and managing inventory, along with hands-on experience in sales and building customer relationships.

• Sales Processing: Prepare quotes, process sales orders, and invoicing accuracy.

• Warehousing & Logistics: Learn warehousing duties, including accurate goods receipt, stock rotation, and order pick/pack for delivery coordination.

• Operations: Learn to safely operate a forklift (training provided) and maintain a clean, safe, and organised workspace.

• Teamwork: Work closely with the Branch Manager and Assistant Branch Manager to ensure smooth daily operations.

Requirements

We are looking for motivated and reliable team players with a strong work ethic and a passion for great service who are eager to learn and grow.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

• A ‘can-do’ attitude and the ability to work efficiently and effectively under pressure.

• Impeccable attention to detail, organisational, and time management skills.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• Initiative and the ability to use it (the 'figure it out' factor).

• The willingness to obtain a Forklift Licence.

• The physical capacity for manual handling requirements, including some heavy lifting and standing for extended periods.

If you're ready to bring your energy and initiative to an entry-level position that offers a clear and permanent pathway to Branch Management, we’d love to hear from you.
