Great customer experiences start with great people.

At PPG, we've spent more than 140 years protecting and beautifying the world through the paints, coatings and materials we make.

But products alone don't build loyal customers. People do.

No paint experience? No problem!

You'll:

• Welcome and assist customers with friendly, knowledgeable service
• Build relationships with local trade and retail customers
• Tint and mix paint products to customer requirements
• Support colour matching and product recommendations
• Prepare and organise customer orders for collection and delivery
• Help keep shelves stocked, displays looking great and the store running smoothly
• Work closely with the Store Manager and team to support sales growth
• Maintain a safe, clean and organised workplace
• Make local deliveries when required using the company vehicle

How you'll thrive

You'll thrive here if you enjoy helping people, staying busy and being part of a team that gets stuck in and supports each other.

We're open to people from a range of backgrounds, including retail, trade supply, hardware, hospitality, customer service, warehousing and other customer-facing environments. Paint experience isn't essential.

• Enjoy building relationships with customers and delivering great service
