ABOUT THE ROLE

Permanent | Full-Time | Monday–Friday | 8am-5pm

Love being the person who knows what is happening, keeps things moving and makes everyone feel welcome? You could be exactly who we are looking for.

This is not your average desk job. You will be right in the middle of the action, helping customers, keeping the branch running smoothly. It is fast-paced, varied and people-focused, with a close-knit crew who work hard, have a laugh and back each other.

In this role we are looking for someone who is reliable, passionate, and enjoys all types of customer service with high attention to detail.

Your day will look a little like this:

• Be the friendly face of the branch – Welcome customers and buyers in person, over the phone and by email on a daily basis with a high level of customer service, making every interaction a great one.
• Keep all the plates spinning – Coordinate couriers, manage mail, tackle data entry and make sure the office has everything it needs.
• Bring order to Administration – Complete administrative duties associated with the auction process (including processing purchase orders and invoices) with a high level of accuracy meeting agreed timeframes.
• Turn questions into answers – Give buyers and vendors timely, accurate support and help sort out problems without the fuss.
• Jump in and back your crew – Support internal departments to meet their objectives and administration requirements.

ABOUT YOU

You are the kind of person who brings good energy, gets stuck in and follows through. You do not need to know everything on day one, but you do need to be curious, dependable and ready to be part of the team. You will bring:

• Experience in a busy reception, administration or customer service role where no two days looked quite the same
• A warm, confident style and a genuine knack for making people feel looked after
• Confidence with Microsoft Office and the curiosity to pick up new systems quickly
• Clear communication, a sense of humour and the ability to connect with all kinds of people
• Clear and effective communication skills
• Excellent attention to detail and time management skills
• Ability to work autonomously without close supervision
