Job description

A busy and fast-paced business with great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career progression – join TF Solutions as a Driver/Warehouse Assistant and share our success and good times with a hard-working, friendly bunch of people.

We are TF Solutions, the one-stop shop for all air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat pump products. With substantial growth over the past decade, we’re becoming one of the leading Air Conditioning & Refrigeration distributors in the UK, so we’d say we know a thing or two about our sector. We’re also now part of the Travis Perkins Group, recognized as one of the UK’s top employers. You don't need to come from our sector or even know our products, as we will provide you with a great onboarding and induction.

The Role

Come and join our team delivering a great service to our customers. We have a lot of regular long-standing customers together with new ones and the ones we see less frequently - but we strive to deliver an exceptional experience to every single one of them.

There are two aspects to this role and your ability to adapt to each will demand flexibility and a can-do attitude. Being a Driver/Warehouse Assistant takes a lot of character. It calls for someone who enjoys working with people and has the enthusiasm it takes to deliver more than just goods, but a fantastic service too. The role is varied with no two days being the same. One minute you will be loading your vehicle and delivering goods to a range of different places; other days you will be unloading supplier deliveries, picking orders, or serving customers on the trade counter. In addition, in this branch, you will support our colleagues working on the trade counter with face-to-face customer interaction.

The Person

You’ll need a clean driving license first and foremost. While driving our vehicles, you are the face of the business/branch, and the way in which you represent the company is just as important as the products you deliver. A positive attitude and professional manner is a must. A confident customer-focused demeanor is essential as is the passion to deliver great service with your team colleagues every day. Ideally, you will have multi-drop driving experience, warehouse experience, or a background in face-to-face customer service. But above all, you will be personable, have a desire to learn, and possess a motivated work ethic.

The Benefits

1. 22 days annual leave plus bank holiday (extra day at milestone anniversaries)
2. Annual salary reviews
3. Opportunity to earn a branch/performance-based bonus
4. Contributory pension scheme
5. Life Assurance and ShareSave scheme
6. Colleague discounts across a variety of Group businesses including special discounts of 20% in Tool Station and Tool Hire
7. HUNDREDS of discounts with a wide range of partners - food shopping, holidays, eating out, cinema, retail, and so much more

Not Sure you Qualify? We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer, where everyone in our Group feels safe, welcome, and confident to be their authentic selves - you be you, it makes us, us, as we say. If you’re interested in this opportunity but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be just the right candidate for this or other roles with us.
