Customer Service and Sales Palmerston North

Are you ready for a change of pace but still want to stay close to the tools and the industry you know? At Corys Electrical, we’re looking for practical, down-to-earth people—like ex-electricians, tradies, or anyone with a hands-on background—who enjoys helping others and solving real-world problems.

If you like variety in your day and want a role where your practical knowledge actually matters, this could be the perfect next step.

In this counter-based, customer-focused role, you’ll keep our Palmerston North branch humming—helping customers find the right gear, sharing your product know-how, receiving and dispatching orders, unpacking stock, and loading deliveries. You’ll be part of a small, supportive team that customers rely on to get the job done right.

This is an ideal opportunity to stay connected to the electrical and trade industries without the physical wear and tear of on-tools work. Your background gives you a head start, and we’ll train you in everything else.

What you’ll bring to Corys

• A passion for great customer service and teamwork
• Strong communication skills and a “pitch in and help” attitude
• Practical thinking and hands-on experience—whether from electrical, plumbing, building, warehousing, logistics or similar trades
• Good physical fitness (it’s an active role, but nothing like being on the tools all day)
• A full NZ driver licence (F-endorsement handy, but we can help you get it)

We welcome people from all backgrounds and life stages—whether you’re moving off the tools, looking for a steadier schedule, or ready for your next career step. Bring the right attitude, and we’ll support you all the way.

What we offer

• Southern Cross Health Insurance – Wellbeing One plan
• Your birthday off—fully paid
• Competitive salary package
• Staff purchasing benefits
• Monday to Friday only (42.5 hours) – enjoy your weekends
• A diverse, inclusive workplace where your experience is genuinely valued
