WHAT YOU’LL BRING

You may currently already work within a retail environment or in a business administration role and be looking for the opportunity to step into a new challenge and develop your skills. We’ll need you to demonstrate negotiation and influencing skills along with having a strong commercial mind and an instinct for a deal. You’ll be working closely with our suppliers, stores and sales teams, so we’ll need you to utilise your great communication skills and ability to get the best job done. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone to show passion and ambition to ensure we are supporting our branches to brilliantly service our customers.
Life at Toolstation is a fast paced environment and can be pressurised at times; however, if having an active role in a challenging business and being part of a dynamic team is what drives and motivates you then we would love to hear from you.

THIS IS A HYBRID BASED ROLE, YOU CAN EITHER BE BASED IN THE MIDLANDS OR SOUTH WEST WHERE YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO WORK FROM THE OFFICE 1-2 TIMES PER MONTH AT EITHER BRIDGWATER OR NORTHAMPTON.

Relish the challenge of driving sales and putting customers and our stores at the heart of everything you do? Do you demonstrate winning behaviours?
