Welcome to Criterion Industries!
At Criterion, we don’t just offer jobs—we build careers. As a fast-growing, family-owned company with over 40 years in the industry, we take pride in delivering high-quality aluminium partitioning systems, sliding systems, doors, and hardware accessories to the commercial and residential building sectors.
Our culture is Energetic, Committed, and United—values that drive us every day. You’ll feel it the moment you step into one of our busy, high-performing branches. We’re looking for reliable, hands-on team members who take pride in great service, clear communication, and delivering a smooth experience for every customer.
When you join us, you’re not just starting a new job—you’re setting yourself up for a long-term career in a supportive, results-driven environment that rewards hard work and fosters growth.
Why You’ll Thrive as a Trade Counter Sales & Service Representative
We’re looking for energetic, approachable, and detail-oriented people who enjoy working with their hands as much as they do helping people. If you like solving problems, keeping things running smoothly, and being the go-to person for customers walking through the door—you’ll fit right in.
This is not a behind-the-scenes role. You’ll be front and centre, interacting directly with tradespeople, builders, and local customers, helping them with pickups, quotes, orders, and advice.
This role could suit people from all walks of life — whether you’ve worked at a hardware or trade counter (like Bunnings, Reece or Mitre 10), in warehouse dispatch with a customer-facing element, in fast food or retail, or even on the tools and looking for a steadier opportunity. If you're confident with people, enjoy variety, and are ready to get stuck in, we'd love to meet you. You may even come from a fast food, retail, or similar customer service backgrounds.
We’re not just looking for someone to operate a till—we’re looking for a team player who thrives in a fast-paced, varied environment and is excited to grow within our business.
