Who are we?

Established in 1987, TradeTools is a proud family-owned 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. (Our average length of employee service is over 8 years, surely a sign that we look after our people!)

Here you will receive 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 Managers average salaries (before tax & excluding super) was over $100,000!

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

About the Role

Leading a close knit team, from the goods-inwards to the repair workshop and of course the sales floor, your aim is to support & grow confident, knowledgeable, service orientated, technical sales-people – not just order takers.

We don't hold you to account with ANY KPI's. We want you to provide industry leading, exceptional in store experiences by finding solutions and offering helpful advice to our customers, and making sure the shelves are full and the shop is tidy.

Your commitment to consistently delivering highest standards of service & stock holdings, combined with understanding and knowledge of high-quality tools and equipment from the best trade and industrial focused brands will see us achieve this (and see you and your team earning genuine uncapped commissions not diluted by KPI's!)

The Roster:

As a Full Time member of our team, you will work an 11-day fortnightly roster:

Week 1: Monday – Friday 7am to 4pm

Week 2: Monday – Friday 9am to 6pm plus Saturday 8am to 4pm

*We are closed every Sunday and National Public Holidays, and we don’t open late night Thursday.

Reporting to the Regional Manager, your key responsibilities will include:

• Building relationships our suppliers and customers
• Liaising with suppliers, internal departments & other stores and our Business Development Representatives to exceed customer expectations
• In-store inventory management from ordering to daily/rolling stocktakes (not one giant one per year!)
• Daily cashup routines
• Training and development
• Maintaining consistently high shopkeeping standards
• Reporting to Accounts, Purchasing, Marketing, HR, Distribution Centre and other departments as required.
• As a TradeTools Store Manager, you do not have to do in-depth rosters or budgeting and you will have a great deal of assistance from your Regional and HR team to manage the Employee lifecyle. This means you have more time to focus on the success of your team and your store!

Key to your success will be:

• A keen interest to build a strong and sustainable career
• Demonstrated experience managing a sales or retail team.
• Reliability, honesty and consistency
• Strong relationship building skills
• A willingness to learn and share

We’ll offer successful candidates a full time position supported by training and development to get you started on the right path. Then there is also ongoing training and development that will see you reach your full potential in a growing, family owned company that is well known for its commitment to excellent service to our customers, and offering excellent employment opportunities to our people.

Previous tool or trade experience is an advantage, but it’s not essential. If you have a strong background in leading successful teams, then we want to meet you!!!
