Full job description

Trade Sales Assistant — Heavyside

T. Brooker & Sons Ltd (Brookers) is a family-owned builders' merchant that has been serving Hitchin and the surrounding area for over 150 years. With branches at Bilton Road and Bucklersbury, plus our own Post Office operation, we combine long-standing family values with a genuine commitment to service, quality, and our local community. As we continue to grow and invest in our people, we're looking for the right person to join our team.

Key Facts

Location

Bilton Road, Hitchin

Department

Heavyside

Hours

40 hours per week, full time

Overtime

Plus 1 in 3 Saturdays (8:00am - 2:00pm), paid as overtime

Rate of pay

£13.45 per hour

About the Role

Our Heavyside department is the trade counter and yard combined — the first point of contact for customers buying timber, plasterboard, aggregates, blocks, and other heavy building materials. You'll spend your day serving customers face-to-face, advising them on the right materials for the job, taking and processing orders, and then loading those orders using a forklift. It's a genuinely varied role: part sales, part yard, and all about making sure customers get good advice and a smooth, reliable service every time.

What You'll Be Doing

Greet every customer properly, quickly get to grips with what they're after, and get them sorted with no fuss
Ask good questions so you understand what a customer's working on now — and what's coming up — so we can be genuinely useful to them, not just take an order
Keep the yard, trade counter, and shop floor looking sharp and running smoothly
Operate the forklift and other yard equipment safely, covering off-loading, picking, packing, restocking, and loading vehicles
Look out for opportunities to help the branch do more business — spotting where we can go the extra mile for a customer
Keep building your knowledge of our product range, from everyday timber and plasterboard through to more specialist lines, so you can advise with real confidence
Load and unload vehicles, both by hand and using a forklift — full training provided
Muck in and support colleagues across the branch whenever it's busy

What We're Looking For

Customer-focused — you want people to leave happy, whether it's a one-off sale or a trade account you're building over time
Genuinely enthusiastic about the trade and the products we sell — it comes across when you talk to customers
Honest and fair — you do right by customers and colleagues, even when no one's watching
A team player — happy to pitch in wherever you're needed, not just stick to your own patch
Take real pride in your work and getting things right first time
A valid, in-date forklift licence (counterbalance) is essential
Some experience in customer service, sales, or a builders' merchant/trade environment is helpful but not essential — full training given
Good numeracy and attention to detail when processing orders
Reliable, good timekeeping, and able to work Saturdays on a 1 in 3 rota

What We Offer

A full-time role with a long-established local family business
On-the-job training and support to build your product knowledge and skills
A friendly team environment across our Hitchin branches
Overtime pay for Saturday working

Pay: Up to £13.45 per hour

Benefits:

Company pension
Employee discount
Free parking
On-site parking
Sick pay

Ability to commute/relocate:

Hitchin SG4 0SB: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Experience:

Heavyside Materials: 3 years (preferred)
Forklift: 1 year (preferred)

Work authorisation:

United Kingdom (required)

Work Location: In person
