About Us:
Sturdy Built Trailer Parts is a growing retailer/wholesaler of towing products. We sell parts for boat, utility, and enclosed trailers. From Axles, Brakes, Hubs, Fenders, Tires, and Wheels we have it all. We have a physical store in Bradenton located about a 1/4 mile west of I-75, and an online store. A 2nd retail store is planned to open on Jan 1st 2012. We promote a laid back atmosphere and an open management style. Currently, we have 7 employees and are looking to add another. Our retail business has continued to grow (up 35% over 2010 year to date) throughout the tough economy and now averages $1.75-2 million per year in sales. As the company continues to grow there will be many opportunities for advancement.
Job Description:
We're looking for someone who can answer the phones and help customers when they come in the store. Responsibilities would include talking to customers on the phone, helping them find the parts they need in the store, check them out after they have the parts they need, help check off and receive orders, place purchase orders, and help keep the store fully stocked with parts. Other responsibilities would include creating merchandise displays in the store, and help process, pack, and ship internet orders. As the company grows, job descriptions will change as our employees grow with us.

Inventory Control: Placing orders, receiving orders, reconciling packing lists with purchase orders, maintaining inventory counts, gaining in-depth product knowledge of both products that are stocked, and those that are available.

Store Appearance: Keeping the store well stocked and neat in appearance, rearranging to make more efficient use of space, and creating sales displays.
