Poolwerx is spearheading a recruitment drive for more than 100 roles as the brand celebrates its most successful year of trading. Turnover was 10 per cent above forecast and a double digit percentage sales uplift year on year.
Poolwerx’ chief operating officer, Nic Brill, said “We’re recruiting women and men from around the country for a range of roles from part-time and casual roles to full-time opportunities.”
The job vacancies are for regional and metro locations with roles available for store managers, retail staff, pool technicians and administrative staff and will help resource the network’s growing footprint.
