Location: Blackparks Industrial Estate, Commerce Rd, Stranraer DG9 7DF

Key Responsibilities

• Welcome customers to the branch and take an active interest in their projects
• Get to know our product lines so you can offer advice and help to customers, making the most of all customer interactions in line with our Jewson Values
• Help to prepare customer orders and load and unload customer and supplier vehicles using a Forklift Truck to minimise manual handling (training will be provided)
• Check incoming deliveries and report missing or damaged products
• Maintain stock levels in both the shop and yard areas, carrying out regular stock counts
• Keep the branch looking clean and tidy, to make a great first impression on our customers
• Occasionally act as a relief driver with our Tool Hire team (if a driving license is present)

• Flexible working arrangements to help you balance work and life

Required Skills and Experience

• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise work accordingly

• A health and safety focus
• Comfortable in a role involving extensive manual handling of bulky items
• A driving license would be an advantage as there may be some relief delivery driving, but this is not essential
