Strong relationships are at the heart of what we do, you'll be leading a small team that aims to do the leg work that makes things happen for rural producers.

You won't be stuck in one place buried in paperwork but rather you'll be free to get out on farms and orchards to understand customer's projects and get to see them through to completion whilst building lasting customer relationships backed and supported by a national team.

Skills and Experience

• Match our rural customer dedication and passion to producing and supplying natural products.
• Be able to converse with and understand our customer base about all things farming.
• Take pride in site presentation and customer service.
• Be able to lead and motivate a small team to achieve customer service excellence.
• Be the sort of character that can get on with and relate to a wide range of people.
• Plan, and be flexible, to ensure day to day store operations run smoothly.
• Have a commitment to safe work practices, including a current full drivers licence and a physical fitness appropriate for lifting timber products.
