General points:
The successful applicant needs to be physically fit and willing to undertake a medical examination/questionnaire. The job is physically demanding with many of our products being in 20 / 25kg bags and buckets. Also irregular items such as gates and barriers. All of above will often need to be handballed.
Amicable nature – to work and become part of a small and established team - and deal with customers both here on site and when delivering.
Flexible – this really is a varied role. For the right person, the variety is what will make it interesting BUT it really does mean mucking in and helping out where necessary as is typical of us all here. There are times when we are all very busy and others when it will inevitably be quieter. During these times there is a need to be self-motivated to clean up the yard, reorganise a section of the warehouse etc.
Attention to detail with a methodical/logical approach. This is key as the role is an important part of us maintaining our stock records correctly – making sure deliveries in and out are correct.
Willingness to learn – the job is varied and our product range is v extensive. Product knowledge will grow with time – but will need a positive attitude towards learning it.
Long-term attitude – we need someone who would see this role as a long-term opportunity.
