Position Description

About the opportunity | Mō tēnei tūranga

Join our nationwide Farm Source store team, composed of agricultural experts, and set yourself up for an outstanding career.

We are seeking a superstar sales specialist for our Cambridge store to provide sound farming product advice to our loyal customers, engaging in merchandising and customer service.

Your daily tasks will include processing customer orders and invoices, updating product pricing and stock levels, managing store filing, maintaining accurate records, and assisting with end-of-day cash balancing and banking preparations.

This role is fast-paced and offers opportunities to hone your agricultural expertise and explore multiple career pathways within the wider business.

• Hours of work: Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, with rostered Saturdays.

You should be self-motivated, adaptable, with excellent customer service and communication skills. A high level of physical fitness is required, as manual handling of items like 25kg bags is part of the job.

Prior customer service or sales experience and a connection to the agricultural industry are preferred, but we are open to candidates transitioning directly from farm work or current customer service experts eager to learn about the ag/dairy industry.

Key qualities include:

• Rural experience (beneficial but not essential)
• Good physical fitness
• Valid forklift license or willingness to obtain one

Our Co-operative

At Fonterra, we are committed to growing our people and supporting your career progression. We value your contributions and offer a variety of roles across the Co-op to suit different stages of life and interests.

We admire Kiwi dairy farmers, who rely on hard work and ingenuity to produce high-quality milk sustainably. The same spirit drives our team at Farm Source, where we aim to make farming easier so farmers can focus on their core work.

Whether on the farm or at local stores, you'll be part of a trusted team, backed by industry expertise, innovative solutions, and supportive colleagues.
