About the Role
Upper Coomera Landscape Supplies is looking for a proactive, all-rounder Landscape Supply Yard Operations Assistant to join our team. This is a varied role where you'll operate heavy machinery like loaders, forklifts & trucks (if you have an HR licence) and also manage key office operations, including customer service, inventory management, and point-of-sale transactions.
In this dynamic position, you'll have the opportunity to be hands-on in the yard while also taking responsibility for the administrative side of our operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly both outdoors and indoors. If you have a knack for multitasking, a strong customer focus, and enjoy being part of a busy, fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you!
What You'll Be Doing
* Loader & Forklift Operations: Safely and efficiently operate a loader and forklift to load and unload landscaping supplies for customer orders and deliveries.
* Yard Management: Oversee the organization of products within the yard, managing stock movements and placement of materials. Ensure the yard is tidy, accessible, and well-stocked for both customer pick-ups and delivery preparations.
* Office Operations & Customer Service: Manage daily office tasks, including operating the retail POS system to process sales, handling customer inquiries over the phone and in-person, and assisting with product selection.
* Delivery Coordination: Prepare and organize orders for delivery, ensuring that the right products are loaded onto trucks and delivered to customers on time.
* Team Collaboration: Work closely with team members to ensure smooth operations in both the yard and the office. Help with coordinating deliveries and customer service to create a positive experience for everyone.
* Safety Compliance: Follow safety protocols to maintain a safe work environment both in the yard and in the office. Ensure that all equipment is operated according to safety guidelines.
What We're Looking For
* Experience: Ideally previous experience in a similar role, in landscaping, construction, or supply yard operations, with a mix of hands-on yard work and office administration. While experience in a similar role is beneficial, we're happy to train the right person who is eager to learn and has a positive attitude.
* Proven Experience: Minimum of 1-2 years experience as a Loader operator or in a customer-facing role within the landscaping or construction industry. Forklift & HR driver's licence would be an added benefit.
* Skills: Strong organizational skills, multitasking ability, and experience with retail POS systems and basic office administration.
* Customer-Focused: Excellent customer service skills with the ability to engage with clients over the phone and in person, providing expert advice and assistance.
* Physical Stamina: Ability to perform manual handling tasks and operate heavy machinery, including lifting and moving bulk materials.
* Flexible & Adaptable: Ability to work weekends and adjust to changing priorities throughout the day.
* Safety-Oriented: A commitment to maintaining a safe work environment and adhering to company protocols and procedures.
* Work Rights: Australian citizenship or permanent residency is required for this position.
What We Offer
* Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a casual position with flexible hours, allowing you to balance your personal life and work.
* Competitive Pay: Attractive hourly rates and opportunities for career growth within the landscaping industry.
* Supportive Team Environment: Join a friendly, collaborative team that values your contribution and provides a positive, respectful workplace.
* Room for Growth: Opportunities for further development in both operational and administrative roles as we continue to expand.
