Southland Farm Machinery is the leading supplier of John Deere equipment in Southland and Otago. A proud, family-owned business, Southland Farm Machinery values teamwork, integrity, and respect, and is committed to creating a workplace where our people thrive, and clients succeed.
As Parts Consultant you will deal with customer enquiries in store and via phone. Our parts team are pivotal to our success, working directly with our customers and keeping our busy workshop service team supplied. The cliché of no two days ever being the same couldn’t be truer in the agricultural industry. Our customers don’t work regular hours and rely on us to keep their downtime to a minimum.
Experience in agriculture or machinery industries, ordering systems, data entry or distributing parts would be a benefit, but not essential. If you have the right attitude, are a friendly and efficient team player with a willingness to learn, then our experienced Parts team can teach you the rest. At all times you will be well supported by the wider business team.
What’s in it for you:
- On-the-job and external training with on-going career development
- Career stability working in a locally owned company
- Competitive remuneration and staff buying privileges
- Great products to work with including world leading brands
- Excellent support systems.
What we’re looking for:
- An excellent phone manner and exceptional customer service skills
- Analytical, with effective time management and attention to detail
- Excellent organisational and computer skills
- Professional and punctual
- The ability to work autonomously, as well as part of a team
