Sales Assistant - Townsville

Looking for more than just another sales or warehouse job?

Join PPG's Townsville team and build skills beyond traditional warehousing.

As a Sales Assistant / Storeperson, you'll prepare customer orders, manage stock and support daily branch operations, with the opportunity to learn paint tinting and colour matching as part of your development.

Enjoy a Monday to Friday roster, no weekend work, ongoing training and the support of a global company that's been protecting and beautifying the world for more than 140 years.

No paint experience? No problem. Full product and systems training will be provided.

Why people enjoy working here

You'll join a small, close-knit team where everyone pitches in and no two days look quite the same. Beyond the warehouse, you'll have the opportunity to learn paint tinting and colour matching, develop valuable new skills and build a long-term career with a global industry leader.

In this role you'll enjoy:

• Monday to Friday hours with no weekend work

• A supportive team where your contribution is valued

• Variety across warehousing, customer service and branch operations

• Training in paint tinting and colour matching

• Opportunities to improve processes and make a real impact

• Ongoing training and career development

• Employee recognition programs and product discounts
