Plumbing Counter Sales & Inventory Specialist

 Know your way around plumbing parts? Enjoy helping customers find exactly what they need? We may have the perfect opportunity for you!

Bright Sky Recruiting is partnering with an established plumbing supply company to find a friendly, dependable, and customer-focused professional for a unique on-site position in Carlsbad.

This isn't your typical warehouse job! You'll be the go-to person for a busy plumbing contractor, helping their technicians get the parts and materials they need to keep their jobs running smoothly.

If you've worked in the plumbing department at Home Depot or Lowe's, behind the counter at a plumbing supply house, or in a similar customer-facing role where you've developed knowledge of plumbing parts, we'd love to hear from you!

What You'll Be Doing

• Serve as the primary point of contact for approximately 20 plumbing technicians who regularly pick up materials for their jobs.

• Help customers identify the right plumbing parts and supplies by asking questions, listening, and understanding their needs.

• Build strong relationships with technicians and provide friendly, knowledgeable, dependable service.

• Process orders, coordinate material pickups, and maintain accurate inventory records.

• Keep the on-site inventory area organized, stocked, and ready for daily customer needs.

• Assist with receiving, stocking, and moving materials as needed.

• Communicate with management regarding inventory needs, customer requests, and product usage.

• Assist with returns, paperwork, and routine inventory reporting.

What We're Looking For

Plumbing knowledge and great customer service skills are the most important qualifications!

• Familiarity with plumbing parts, fittings, materials, and supplies. Experience in a retail plumbing department, plumbing supply house, or contractor supply environment is ideal.

• At least 1 year of customer service, retail sales, or counter sales experience.

• Friendly, outgoing personality with strong communication and listening skills.

• Ability to work independently, stay organized, and build positive relationships with customers.

• Dependable attendance and reliable transportation to the Carlsbad location.

• Comfortable with the physical aspects of the job, including lifting and moving materials and using a dolly or manual pallet jack.

• Willingness to learn inventory procedures, order processing, and basic warehouse operations.

• Bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus, but not required.

Don't have traditional warehouse experience? That's okay! We're happy to train someone who brings the right plumbing knowledge, customer service skills, and willingness to learn.

A Little More About the Physical Side

This position does involve handling plumbing materials and supplies, so you'll need to be comfortable lifting, moving, and stocking products.

However, unlike a traditional warehouse role, material handling is only one part of the job. Most movement takes place over relatively short distances, with equipment such as dollies and manual pallet jacks available to assist.
