Smith's Mitre 10 MEGA is a proudly family-owned Christchurch business committed to delivering exceptional customer service every day. As one of New Zealand's most trusted home improvement retailers, we're passionate about helping our customers turn their projects into reality.

We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and customer-focused Paint Sales Team Member to join our Paint Department at Mitre 10 MEGA Papanui on a fixed-term basis until the end of January 2027.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a knowledgeable and supportive team, assisting both DIY and trade customers to find the right products, colours and solutions for their painting projects. Through excellent customer service and product knowledge, you'll help create a positive shopping experience that leaves customers feeling inspired, confident and ready to get started.

This is a fixed-term, part-time position working Saturdays (8.5 hours per week).

Key responsibilities include:
  • Providing outstanding customer service and advice
  • Assisting customers with paint product selection and colour matching
  • Maintaining attractive and well-stocked displays

  • The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
  • Good attention to detail and problem-solving skills
  • Sound computer skills
  • A mature and professional approach to sales
