With 25 locations across Australia, Lincoln Sentry is a proud part of the DuluxGroup family so we can support you as you grow with us. And while work is important, our top priority is to ensure you stay safe on the job and get home to the people who matter most. 

We’re really proud of all we’ve achieved over the years. But we’ve really only scratched the surface. Join us as our Retail Assistant and help us as we take something great and make it better. 

Your opportunity 

As a Retail Assistant at Lincoln Sentry, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring the success of our Trade retail storefront through providing an exceptional in-store experience. Working shoulder to shoulder with your fellow Retail Assistants, Branch Manager, Area Manager and National Network Manager, you’ll confidently undertake a variety of tasks, from Warehousing to front-end customer sales. 

Here’s what you’ll achieve here: 

• You’ll proudly represent the Lincoln Sentry Trade Network and deliver on our commitments to safety and customer service excellence 
• You’ll aid in your store’s cost management strategies through maintaining high productivity, efficient usage of storage space, and proper protection of stored materials 
• You’ll uphold appropriate levels of housekeeping and maintenance to ensure your branch and warehouse reflects a professional appearance

Although not essential, it would be great if you have... 

• A Forklift Licence or willingness to obtain a Forklift Licence 
• Previous experience working in a Trade Retail environment or another relevant area 

But what’s most important is that you’re committed to doing good work, well. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with trustworthy people, so it’s important that you’re willing to work in a team environment. We’re also on a constant journey of growth, so you’ll need to have an open mind and be flexible to change.
