Our Role

As our next Customer Delivery Specialist, you'll be at the heart of the customer experience, supporting our ready-mix concrete customers across Canterbury & supporting the wider South Island.

Working within a busy and supportive team, you'll play a key role in the customer journey. From managing enquiries and processing orders through to coordinating deliveries, monitoring inventory, liaising with our concrete plants, and welcoming customers into our showroom, no two days are the same.

You'll build strong relationships with both internal and external customers, solve problems as they arise, and proactively plan ahead to ensure products are delivered efficiently and on time. Most importantly, you'll keep customers informed every step of the way. This is a fast-paced role where resilience, adaptability and a positive attitude are essential.

  • A proactive, self-motivated approach and the confidence to take ownership
  • A team-focused mindset with a willingness to adapt and support others
  • A positive attitude, sense of humour, and enjoyment of a fast-paced environment
  • Experience in customer service, contact centres, hospitality, retail, logistics, administration, or another busy customer-focused role
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Confidence using technology and computer systems, including Microsoft Office and order-processing systems
  • The ability to remain calm under pressure while delivering a professional customer experience

What's in it for you?

  • Staff discounts with PlaceMakers, Mico, Southern Cross and a wide range of other partners
  • Access to our Employee Education Fund, supporting employees and their dependants, subject to eligibility
  • Enhanced parental leave benefits to help support growing families
  • Career development opportunities within Firth and the wider Fletcher Building group
