Description:

Unitis Contractor Supplies is currently hiring a full or part-time Store Support Associate for our Corona and Buena Park locations and is looking for someone who would enjoy working with a team of professionals in a warehouse setting 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 Store Support position relies heavily on collaboration, relationship-building, and consistent accuracy within established processes and guidelines. In addition to delivering excellent customer service at the counter, this position also supports general warehouse functions. These responsibilities include accurately receiving, organizing, and pulling inventory; preparing and staging orders; ensuring a clean and safe work environment; and coordinating with team members to maintain efficient product flow throughout the facility.

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.

There are opportunities for both part-time and full-time hours in this role.

• Must operate in service of the team. Will lead by example, sharing intimate knowledge within an area of expertise with others. Follow-up will be strong, yet friendly, to ensure proper results on delegated tasks.
