Bradfords Building Supplies Ltd is a leading independent builders’ merchant based across the South West of England. We know our strength lies in our people and the service we offer and we continue to build on this by bringing great people into our teams.
We're looking for a friendly, enthusiastic and customer-focused Sales Assistant (Multi-Skilled) / Van Driver to join our busy branch team in Newton Abbot.
This is a varied role where no two days are the same. You'll spend time serving customers on the trade counter, supporting the yard team, handling stock, and making deliveries to customers. Whether you're helping a tradesperson find the right materials, loading a vehicle safely or delivering products to site, you'll play an important part in creating a great customer experience.
We're looking for someone who enjoys working with people, takes pride in doing a great job and is happy to get involved wherever they're needed. If you're someone who enjoys being active, working as part of a team and providing excellent customer service, we'd love to hear from you.
You'll be the friendly face of the branch, helping customers from the moment they arrive through to loading their purchases and ensuring they leave with everything they need. You'll support the sales team by identifying opportunities, promoting products and services, and building lasting relationships with customers.
Alongside your branch duties, you'll also complete multi-drop deliveries in one of our company vans, ensuring orders are delivered safely, on time and in full. You'll carry out daily vehicle checks, follow all transport and health and safety procedures, and represent Bradfords professionally wherever you go.
You'll also help with receiving deliveries, checking stock, merchandising products, maintaining high housekeeping standards and ensuring the branch operates safely and efficiently every day.
The ideal candidate will enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and be passionate about providing outstanding customer service. You'll be a confident communicator with a positive attitude, a willingness to learn and the flexibility to support different areas of the branch.
A full UK driving licence is essential, and while experience in builders' merchants, retail, warehouse or delivery driving would be beneficial, it's not essential as full training will be provided.
At Bradfords, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in building trust through our values of Commitment, Care, Consistency and Innovation, and we're proud of the supportive environment we've created for our colleagues.
In return, you'll join an established business where you'll receive full training, work alongside a great team and have the opportunity to develop your skills in a varied and rewarding role.
If you're looking for a hands-on position where you can make a real difference to customers every day, we'd love to hear from you.
