Who are we?

Established in 1987, TradeTools is a proud family-owned Queensland company trusted to provide the best tools and equipment to trades and businesses. We employ hundreds of people in sites all over Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

What do we offer?

At TradeTools, we know that it‘s our people that set us apart, so we look after them with an excellent base salary AND commission (calculated on the stores performance) - both paid weekly! Plus superannuation and other usual holiday & sick leave benefits!

Last Financial year, our Full-Time employees average salaries (before tax & excluding super) were:

- Junior Sales: $75K

- Mid Sales: $80K

- Senior Sales: $90K

*Casuals will be $34 per hour for ordinary hours for those over 21 years of age. We also always recruit internally before going to market - so you will have the opportunity to move to a permanent position before anyone else!

We offer additional incentives including employee focused competitions, social events, generous staff discounts and the opportunity to become an employee shareholder for long serving staff.

Our average length of employee service is over 8 years, surely a sign that we look after our people!

If you have energy and passion, we offer a challenging and rewarding career with real progression opportunities and job security. For example, ALL of our Managers have started in junior roles and progressed through the business - even into senior management roles!

We have a collaborative and supportive culture that rewards commitment, teamwork and achieving our goals. With an in-house training program, our aim is to support & grow confident, knowledgeable, service orientated, technical sales-people and support staff – not just order takers or plodders.
