At Pat McDonnell Paints, we strive to always provide Exceptional Customer Service – through offering a wide range of quality products and services, but ultimately, through our people. We are currently recruiting for an energetic, friendly and enthusiastic Colour Consultant to join the team at our Nutgrove/Rathfarnham branch in Old Nutgrove Retail Park, Rathfarnham, Dublin.  

Who we are looking for:

If you are interested in a career with customer focus at its heart, an opportunity for learning and having a little fun along the way, then this might be the role for you.

We are looking for a self-motivated, commercially minded Colour Consultant who is passionate about colour, who enjoys approaching and selling to customers, and who will provide enthusiastic, professional, and best in class service to our customers in line with our ethos.

Our Colour Consultants work with customers to help choose colours/colour schemes and to give advice on interior design questions in relation to our products. Consultations with customers are carried out in-store and/or at customer homes, businesses and other premises or sites.

The ideal person will have an Interior Design & Retail background with exceptional communication and product knowledge skills. You will be a self-starter and a team player with a drive for generating and closing sales.

You will stay up to date with the latest trends and you will develop and maintain an in-depth knowledge of products carried by the company along with pricing structures in order to deliver accurate information and advice to our customers.

As a member of the sales team, you will really get to know our customers and what they are looking for; it’s everything from helping them find the perfect product to stocking the shelves, to merchandising, to making deliveries, to stocktaking, to getting behind an in-store promotion.

• Consistently deliver great customer experiences
• Provide best-in-class advice & product knowledge to all customers
• Contribute to our culture of friendliness, respect and dedication to the team

• Must have a full driving licence with own transport
• Have strong people skills and a knack for problem-solving
• Have the ability to prioritise and multitask
• Strong attention to detail
• Experience in retail or other customer-facing roles is preferable, but this is not essential

What we can offer you:

• A positive and respectful work environment
• A place in a friendly and supportive team
• Extensive training
• Competitive Salary
• 23 days Annual Leave per annum pro rata
• 2 days additional leave given for the Christmas break
