Job description

Mainfreight is in the business of global supply chain logistics. Put simply, we partner with our customers to provide the full spectrum of warehousing, domestic transport and international air and ocean freight services. Our operations are powered by a global team of 10644 passionate people, world‑class technologies and a can‑do attitude. While we have businesses operating in 337 branches in 27 countries, our journey will one day see us located in all the major trading nations of the world. We’re one big family and we are fiercely protective of our deep‑rooted identity. Instead of embracing popular corporate conventions, we protect and nurture the unique culture, character and individuality that sets us apart.

About the Cadetship

• Hands, structured and supported sales training

• Exposure to the wider business, including warehousing, forwarding and local cartage (understanding of the global business – who we are and what we do)
• Attendance at internal and external sales skills training sessions
• Involvement in Group state sales meetings and conferences

Skills and experience

For this particular role, we are looking for someone who is truly passionate about a career in sales. You may already be in a customer service or internal sales role now, wanting to take that next step to consultatively sell business solutions. We value individuality, personality and energy. A willingness to learn is a must, as is excellent personal presentation, punctuality and attention to detail. The right person will have a strong internal drive to succeed, showing initiative to develop their knowledge. Being a team player is paramount!

What we offer

• A supportive learning environment
• World class facilities to operate out of
• Upon successful completion of the cadetship, car allowance, phone and laptop
• Competitive base salary and a branch performance bonus program
• Promotion from within, with opportunities locally and globally
• An opportunity to truly carve out a career with a company that doesn’t view performance through the rear vision mirror, it is the future we are interested in

If you want to be part of a great team and are up for this challenge, then we want to hear from you.
