• Building strong relationships with customers. 

• Working closely with the Sales and Service teams to ensure end-to-end customer satisfaction. 

• Assisting the Service Coordinator with mobilisation of onsite techs.

• General office administration and administrative support for the branch.

• Supporting warehouse operations as required, including assisting with logistics, pick-packing, and stocktakes.

• You work well in a team environment, and you are willing to pitch in and support others when needed. 

• An interest in learning about the rigging, lifting, and height safety industry. 

• Comfortable with computers and using sales and logistics software such as an ERP (Ideally Microsoft Dyamics Business Central). 

• Interested in learning and growing your skills, and adept at learning and applying learned knowledge.
