Ongoing product training will be provided to support and extend your existing knowledge.

Your day could involve helping a homeowner solve an irrigation problem, advising a farmer or tradesperson on pump or pipe selection, answering a technical enquiry over the phone, booking a pump in for repair, preparing a customer order, following up on product availability and assisting with stock and warehouse operations when required.
