Sales Assistant - Garden Centre

Mitre 10 continues to dominate the NZ DIY retail market through both its market share and number of stores throughout the country – and you can be part of our continuing success by joining the team at Mitre 10 Mega Pukekohe.

Part of this success is the great customer service we provide, so we would be really keen to hear from you if you have the passion for ensuring our customers get the right product and an exceptional level of service every time they walk through our doors – going the extra mile will be the norm for you.

Kiwis love to garden and we love to assist them with their gardening needs.

We are looking for an experienced retail sales professional with green fingers and a customer-focused attitude.

Your gardening passion may come from time in your own backyard or you may have undertaken horticultural training – either way you will enjoy helping our customers select the right plants, along with all the dry goods and hardware, whether it's fertilizers and pest control or gardening gloves and a wheelbarrow.

We are sadly losing a couple of our more knowledgeable team members, so a sound knowledge of plants and plant care is preferred.

Our garden centre is a fast-paced area and heavy lifting is required so a reasonable standard of physical fitness is also required.

• Enthusiasm and team spirit;
• A passion for customer service excellence;
• Good time management;
• A quick and alert mind, with the ability to adapt and be flexible;

Willingness to learn; and

Excellent communication skills.

This is a full-time permanent position.

The successful applicant will be required to work rostered hours Sunday to Thursday.

So if you want to work in a fun, dynamic work environment, as well as receive ongoing training, uniform and great staff buying privileges, and you think you can deliver on what we seek, then please forward a CV and cover letter via this website.
