Hardware Retail Sales Assistant - Kapunda Home Hardware

About the role

Enjoy helping people bring their projects to life? Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast, a tradie looking for a change, or someone keen to learn, we’d love to hear from you!

Join our friendly, family-owned and operated store in the beautiful rural community of Kapunda. We’re looking for a reliable, customer-focused Hardware Retail Sales Assistant who enjoys variety and takes pride in great service.

This is a casual position, offering 78 hours across a 10-day fortnightly roster. You must be available to work every second weekend, including Saturday 8am–2pm and Sunday 9am–1pm.

Previous hardware or retail experience is welcome but isn’t essential—we’ll provide practical, on-the-job training.

What you’ll be doing

- Greeting customers warmly and providing friendly, knowledgeable assistance throughout the store

- Processing sales transactions accurately using the point-of-sale system

- Restocking shelves and maintaining a clean, organised and visually appealing store environment

- Answering customer enquiries about products, availability and pricing

- Directing customers to relevant product sections and offering product recommendations

- Handling cash and card payments with accuracy and honesty

- Operating the till and managing stock movements

- Assisting with product displays and promotional activities

- Following company policies and procedures to maintain safety and security standards

- Supporting other team members to ensure efficient store operations

What we’re looking for

- Strong customer service and communication skills.

- A reliable, motivated approach and willingness to roll up your sleeves.

- A positive attitude and the ability to work well in a team.

- Basic to intermediate computer skills, including Microsoft Office.

- Confidence in handling cash and learning point-of-sale systems.





- A commitment to safe work practices, including safely carrying out heavy lifting and other physical tasks.

- Retail, customer service or sales experience—particularly in hardware and automotive products—would be an advantage. A forklift licence or trade qualification would also be welcome, but neither is essential.
