Sales Representative & Store Promoter (Timber & Hardware)

Field Sales | New Customers | Timber & Hardware | Local Marketing

Build your sales career. Get out and make things happen.

Do you enjoy meeting people, talking timber and building products, and turning a good conversation into a lasting customer relationship?

Have you worked in a timber yard, hardware store, trade counter or building supplies business and wondered what your next career step could look like?

If you are friendly, determined, organised and ready to get out from behind the counter, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Moorabbin Timber is creating an opportunity for someone with practical industry knowledge to grow into external sales and local business development. You will spend your mornings visiting builders, renovators and tradespeople, and your afternoons following up opportunities, preparing quotes and working with our experienced store team.

This is not a job where you wait for customers to walk through the door.

Your job is to get out, find new customers and give them a reason to keep coming back.

You will introduce Moorabbin Timber to local builders, renovators and tradespeople, understand what they need, organise their first order and help turn new customers into regular buyers. Your primary territory is within 10km of the store, extending to 20km, particularly across Bayside.

You will also help promote the store locally, sharing ideas and customer stories for social media and advertising while showcasing our products, knowledgeable team, undercover drive-through timber yard and delivery service.

With support from the store team, you will keep track of customer visits, quotes and follow-ups using our customer system, and build your skills in sales, customer relationships and local marketing.

Has at least 12 months of customer-facing experience in timber, hardware, building supplies or a closely related building products business.

Enjoys talking with builders, renovators and tradespeople and builds rapport naturally.

Is confident approaching new people, asking questions and earning their trust.

Has the determination and resilience to keep going when a customer is not ready to buy.

Plans their day well, keeps promises, follows up quotes and pays attention to detail.

Is comfortable learning CRM systems, digital tools and practical local marketing.

Wants to move from retail or trade counter experience into field sales and build a long-term career.

Is dependable, down-to-earth, safety-conscious and happy to help the wider store team.

Experience in timber or hardware retail, trade counter sales or building supplies will be particularly valuable. Comparable customer-facing building products experience, together with sound trade knowledge, is also welcome.
