Overview:

We are seeking a motivated, disciplined, and customer-focused Individual for a Sales Advisor position. You will join a fast-paced automotive and parts environment.

This is a progression-focused position, where individuals are trained, developed, and promoted from within. Many of the company’s senior staff began in this exact role. This is a fun, fast-paced and supportive office environment where professionalism meets great team culture, work hard, enjoy what you do, and be part of a team that actually enjoys coming to work.

Supporting building security procedures, including opening and closing the branch when required
Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of products, suppliers, and vehicle applications

In line with operational requirements, you may also be directed to support wider depot and business functions. These duties will include:

Supporting customer call-outs and on-site service queries when required
Assisting with trade exhibitions, customer events, and operational showcases
Supporting the development and maintenance of departmental procedures and operational documentation
Assisting with product mapping, application menus, and technical cross-referencing tasks
Supporting payment processing, credit control procedures, and financial administration tasks
Assisting with general administration, filing, and data entry duties
Supporting the onboarding, mentoring, and development of new team members
Assisting with sourcing non-stock items and supporting supplier liaison activities
Contributing to continuous improvement of customer service standards and operational efficiency
