Join a Company Built on Trust, Quality, and 200 Years of Know-How

We're Hiring a Trade Counter Sales Associate for our Longford Branch.

At McMahons Builders Providers, we’ve been supporting tradespeople, DIYers, and homeowners across Ireland for nearly two centuries. With a network of 12 branches, a specialist Truss Manufacturing Plant, and 3 dedicated Hardwood & Sheet Material centres, we’re proud to be one of the island’s largest independent builder’s providers.

From foundations to finishes, we offer a true one-stop shop — and it’s our people who make that possible. Now, we’re looking for a new Trade Counter Sales Associate to join our team in Longford.

Why this role could be right for you:

This isn’t your average retail job. It’s a chance to be part of a busy, knowledgeable team where every day brings new people, products, and opportunities to learn. You’ll build relationships, solve problems, and become a go-to person for customers who rely on your advice.

What you’ll be doing:

Helping people every day: You’ll be the friendly face customers see when they walk through our doors — greeting them, understanding what they need, and offering helpful solutions.

Building customer relationship s: Whether it’s a first-time visitor or a regular contractor, you’ll take the time to understand their project and earn their trust.

Learning and sharing product knowledge : We’ll support you to get up to speed on our wide range of building products and suppliers — and you'll enjoy helping others find the right fit for the job.

Keeping things running smoothly : From restocking shelves and merchandising displays, to taking calls and coordinating with warehouse and yard teams, you’ll be part of a tight-knit, supportive operation.

Pitching in where needed : We work as one team — when things get busy, everyone gets stuck in. You’ll enjoy the variety and pace of a hands-on, customer-first role.

What we’re looking for:

A team player who enjoys meeting people and solving problems.

Familiarisation with Building Materials - maybe an apprenticeship, a summer labouring, or years of trade counter know-how!

Great communication skills and a positive, flexible approach.

A willingness to learn — whether it’s new products or new systems.

Retail, trade counter or customer service experience is huge benefit — attitude is everything.

What you'll get:

Full training and support to build your knowledge and confidence

A varied workday in a friendly, fast-paced environment

Opportunities to learn new skills and grow within a nationwide business
