Retail Assistant - Flooring | Mitre 10 MEGA New Lynn
Job Description
About the Role
If you're looking for
a role where you'll spend most of your day sitting behind a desk or standing at
a service counter, this probably isn't the position for you.
We're looking for a
full-time Team Member to join our Flooring department at Mitre 10 MEGA New
Lynn, working 40 hours per week, including one weekend day.
This is a hands-on
retail role where a large part of your day will be spent moving stock. Flooring
products are often heavy, bulky, and awkward to handle, so regular lifting is
simply part of the job. You'll be replenishing stock from inwards goods and storage
areas, maintaining displays, helping customers find the right products, and
assisting with loading purchases when required.
You'll be on your
feet for most of the day keeping stock moving, maintaining the department, and
supporting other areas of the store when needed. While customer service is
important, this role is equally about keeping products flowing from the
storeroom to the shop floor and ensuring the department remains well stocked,
organised, and ready for customers.
Your Day May Involve
Replenishing flooring
stock from storage areas and inwards goods
Moving bulky and
heavy products throughout the department
Assisting customers
with flooring products and related purchases
Loading customer
vehicles when required
Maintaining stock
levels, displays and merchandising standards
Building product
knowledge across flooring and associated categories
Supporting stock
movement across other store departments
Keeping work areas
safe, tidy and organised
Who This Role Suits
You'll enjoy this
role if you prefer practical, hands-on work and like seeing the results of a
productive day's work. Previous flooring experience isn't essential. What's
more important is a willingness to get stuck in, learn about the products, and
contribute to a busy department where no two days look exactly the same.
