Job description

Ready to step up? Join Goldpine Hastings in a hands-on customer service and yard role with the opportunity to take on 2IC responsibilities.

At Goldpine, we're all about helping our customers find the right outdoor timber solutions for their projects. From fencing and retaining to landscaping and farm projects, our Outdoor Timber Specialists provide practical advice, great service and quality products.

We're looking for someone to join our Hastings team who enjoys being hands-on, working with customers and getting stuck into the day-to-day running of our store and yard.

This role also offers something more.

We're looking for someone who canstep up and support our Hastings Manager as a 2IC when required. You might already have some leadership or supervisory experience, or you may be an experienced team member who's ready for the next step.

What you'll be doing

Your day will be varied. You'll be helping customers find the right outdoor timber solutions, preparing and loading orders, operating yard equipment, receiving and managing stock, and helping keep the yard safe, organised and running smoothly.

Hours of work will be 7:30 am to 5:30 pm Monday to Friday and rostered Saturday mornings.

As part of your2IC responsibilities, you'll also:

• Support the Manager with the day-to-day running of the store and yard.
• Help organise and prioritise the team's workload.
• Provide guidance and support to other team members.
• Step up and keep things running smoothly in the Manager's absence.
• Assist with customer queries and confidently resolve issues.
• Help maintain high standards across customer service, stock, presentation and Health & Safety.
• Lead by example and be someone the team can rely on.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone practical, reliable and confident dealing with people. You'll be comfortable working outdoors and doing physical work, while also being able to switch gears and provide great service to customers.

Previous experience in timber, fencing, building supplies, rural supplies or a trade environment would be useful, but attitude and transferable experience are just as important.

A full New Zealand driver licence is required.

For the 2IC side of the position, we're particularly interested in someone who:

• Naturally takes ownership and responsibility.
• Can make sensible decisions and use initiative.
• Communicates well and can confidently give direction when needed.
• Sets a good example around safety, service and getting the job done.
• Is comfortable supporting and developing other team members.
• Can remain calm and organised when things get busy.

Previous leadership experience would be an advantage, but you don't necessarily need to have been a supervisor or 2IC before. If you've been the person others turn to, trained new team members or stepped up when the boss isn't around, we'd like to hear from you.

What you'll get

You'll join a down-to-earth Goldpine team with regular hours, weekly pay and plenty of opportunity to learn.

You'll also receive full product training, team member discounts from day one, ongoing learning and development, and we'll support the appropriate forklift and wheels endorsement training where required.
