Safety First: You’ll champion our non-negotiable safety culture across every element of the role. Safety first, always.
Do you have what it takes? We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, enthusiastic, and highly organised. While product knowledge is a massive plus, we’ll provide full training if you have the right sales-focused mindset.
You’re a Communicator: Ideally, you have experience in a phone-based sales or customer service role and know how to build trust with a diverse range of people.
You’re Organised: You can manage a busy inbox and a ringing phone while maintaining sharp attention to detail.
You’re Tech-Savvy: You have good numerical and computer skills, essential for processing orders accurately and navigating our systems.
