  • Support warehouse operations by assisting with sales, ensuring a smooth process for customers who visit daily to pick up and purchase products, while also advising customers and sharing relevant technical information;
  • During high volume sales days or when additional resources are needed to move items that are heavy, assist warehouse staff in packing and shipping out products ordered and needed by our customers. 

Qualifications

  • Secondary education level in a technical subject with demonstrable experience with electro-mechanical and hydraulic product operations;
  • A sound knowledge of electrics and basic electronics, without the need for formal qualifications;
  • A knowledge of connected IT systems, including the internet and cloud based operations; 
  • Excellent analytical and problem solving skills with a natural, hands on mechanical engineering attitude; 
  • Strong questioning and communication skills with a calm, patient (telephone) manner; 
  • Highly motivated and organized, who is able to work unsupervised or as part of a team;
  • A passion to learn with good knowledge retention skills;
  • A good sense of humour with a flexible/adaptable attitude towards work;
  • Experience with ERP and CRM systems.


Additional Information

  • Competitive compensation with a range of benefits including a company pension contribution, healthcare program, a rewards and recognition program plus a year end bonus based on performance;
  • Working in a small team of professionals where you can really make a difference and where your voice and opinions both sought and heard;
