Description:
Unitis Contractor Supplies is currently hiring a Counter Sales role for our Buena Park location and is looking for someone who would enjoy working with a team of professionals within the construction industry. At Unitis Contractor Supplies, we sell convenience, provide excellence, and relentlessly serve those who build throughout Southern California. And our #1 goal is to be the supplier our customers love coming to most!
The Counter Sales position focuses heavily on working with and through others, building and maintaining relationships, and working closely and accurately within established guidelines. It requires an effective communicator: someone who is able to motivate others while understanding and responding to their needs and concerns.
This role involves meeting and working with many different people. The person in this position must be friendly and genuinely interested in the needs of others, whether that's managers, team members, customers, or the company itself. This person must have a persuasive, teaching-oriented mindset and be able to easily communicate the company's policies, programs, and systems. Expect a faster-than-average pace of work for this position.
Detailed work is another major focus of the job; these details need to be handled quickly, correctly, and efficiently. As this role often focuses on building and maintaining relationships with others, it's important to articulate the details effectively when working with others. Given timeliness is an important factor in this role, this person's work must be done quickly and correctly. In general, this is a position where guidelines, structure, and established policies must be followed fairly closely while working with or for others.
This part-time position works on-site, Monday-Friday, from 11am-4:15pm.
Job characteristics
- Each day is different from the next, especially with social interactions. Must work with others to balance multiple simultaneous projects in a fast-paced environment.
