Mitre 10 Rutherfod (Maitland) is a proudly family-owned business with strong community roots and a trade-focused operation supporting local builders, contractors and volume customers. This is not a typical retail store - it's a hands-on, fast-moving trade environment where operational excellence and strong team leadership are key.
We're seeking a practical, floor-based Store Manager who enjoys being involved in the day-to-day running of the business, understands trade customers and products, and can motivate a team to deliver consistently for high-volume trade accounts.
If you thrive in a busy, operational role, enjoy coordinating people, product and logistics, and like leading from the front - we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
* Leading, coaching and motivating a multi-skilled team in a trade-driven store environment
* Being hands-on on the floor, supporting staff and customers throughout the day
* Overseeing daily store operations including stock flow, merchandising and trade order fulfilment
* Coordinating and managing deliveries, logistics and supplier interactions
* Ensuring strong product knowledge across the team to support trade and builder customers
* Driving operational efficiency, safety standards and sales performance
* Building and maintaining strong relationships with builders, contractors and volume trade customers
* Working closely with ownership and leadership to deliver business and operational goals
What we're looking for
* A hands-on, operational leader who leads by example
* Strong understanding of trade customers, products and supply flow
* Experience coordinating deliveries, stock movement and daily logistics
* Proven ability to motivate, develop and hold teams accountable
* Background in hardware, trade, construction supply or big-box retail (highly desirable)
* Organised, practical and solution-focused with a strong work ethic
* Someone who enjoys being part of a tight-knit, hard-working team
