THE ROLE:

The role we are currently looking to fill is a full-time delivery driver. Must have an MR license. The existing warehouse team will be able to assist you throughout your journey with them , however some experience in the field of delivery driving, warehouse management & distribution would be preferred.

As they continue to grow as a business, their warehouses & logistical team are constantly facing new challenges to ensure we continue to provide customers with the best possible service when it comes to managing & delivering their products.

They are looking for someone that can work alongside their warehouse & logistics team to help coordinate & facilitate the supply side of our business to ensure we can continue to grow as a business, while still fulfilling our purpose & promise to customers.

WHAT OUR CLIENT IS LOOKING FOR:

• Operates and performs really well in a small team environment - we have a very strong focus on clear and open communication amongst our team, so we would love to have someone join the team that is a great communicator.
• Can stick to deadlines and complete tasks under tight time frames and occasional pressures
• Trustworthy, Friendly & Amicable – We are looking to build a family, not just a strong work team. We really value people that are easy to get along with and feel happy and fulfilled with their work
• Has an eye for details - The nature of our business is one of precision, where seemingly small mistakes can turn into considerably large problems. This role requires someone that is a stickler for detail
• A willingness to learn tasks outside of your specific role, a desire to improve existing processes and have a strong sense of accountability towards their work.
• Shows initiative in their role and has an eagerness to learn more than just what their role entails - We put a large focus on ensuring our team members are cross trained and understand how the business works as a whole, not just your specific role. Not only does this benefit the team, but you also get to experience all aspects of the business, which we believe is crucial for a strong & high performing team.
• Has the ability to meet the physical demands of the job. Being furniture wholesalers, many of the items we stock are large and often quite heavy. It is important that you are able & comfortable handling these items from time to time.
• Is very well organised. We pride ourselves on running a tight ship, however this can only happen if we have everyone onboard with our vision and policies. It's critical that everyone understands and appreciates the need for organisation in the warehouse.
• Strong computer literacy is critical to ensure you can work efficiently and meet the demands of the role. Having recently introduced a new ERP system, much of the information required to operate will be derived from your PC
