Job description

We now have a number of job opportunities in our Fuel and Garden Centre based between Maynooth & Straffan. We are looking for hardworking, positive individuals to join our growing team in the running of the yard, warehouse and retail store.

Forklift license is an advantage.

As we deal in the retail sector it is imperative that any potential candidate for this role constantly shows a good attitude, good manners, politeness and is an honest, trustworthy person.

We have a lot of repeat customers and we consider all of our staff to be the friendly face of the company. These customers will get to know you over time so it always important for them to know they have a friendly person arriving to their door or they are arriving into a friendly yard.
