Job description

We're looking for someone who enjoys helping customers, isn't afraid of hard work, and is just as comfortable leaning on a farm gate talking all things rural as they are rolling up their sleeves to help in the yard.

At Goldpine, relationships matter. Our customers rely on us for advice just as much as they do our products, so we're looking for someone who enjoys building connections, solving problems and helping people find the right solution for their project.

If you enjoy talking with customers, have an interest in farming or outdoor projects, and like being part of a hardworking team, we'd love to hear from you.

What's in it for you?

• Regular hours and weekly pay
• Team discount from day one
• Full product and sales training provided
• Forklift and wheels endorsements paid for if required
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities
• A supportive team environment where everyone pitches in

About the Role

We're looking for our next Outdoor Timber Specialist to join our team in a permanent, full-time position at 18 Bomford Street, Blenheim.

This is primarily a customer-facing role where you'll:

• Build strong relationships with our rural, trade and DIY customers
• Help customers choose the right products for their projects
• Prepare quotes and process sales
• Learn our products and confidently recommend solutions
• Merchandise and maintain an inviting retail environment
• Assist in the yard preparing and loading customer orders when required
• Operate forklifts and loaders (experience is an advantage, but training can be provided)
• Help keep the yard safe, tidy and well presented

You'll be part of a small team, so a willingness to help wherever needed is essential.

Hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, with Saturday mornings worked on a roster.

What we're looking for

You don't need previous timber industry experience – we can teach you that. What matters most is that you:

• Enjoy building relationships and providing great customer service
• Have confidence talking with customers and finding solutions that meet their needs
• Have an interest in farming, rural communities or outdoor projects
• Are reliable, motivated and willing to learn
• Can safely undertake physical work and manual lifting when required
• Hold a full New Zealand driver's licence

Experience in retail sales, customer service, farming, building supplies, rural merchandise, forklifts or machinery would be an advantage, but is not essential.
