Tractor Repairs & Spares (TRS) is looking for a Parts Interpreter for our Hastings branch.
We moved into a new purpose-built site in 2023, so you’d be working out of a modern shop with a good team around you. Our customers are farmers, vineyards and orchards across Hawke’s Bay, and when something breaks they need the right part, fast. That’s the job.
About us
TRS has five branches
Hastings, Renwick, Blenheim, Seddon and Richmond – and over 70 staff. We’re the dealer for Fendt and Massey Ferguson tractors and hay gear, PTX Trimble precision farming technology, ERO vineyard equipment, Gregoire grape harvesters, Monosem and Einbock cultivation equipment, plus our own TRS sprayers and a fair few other brands.
About the role
Most of your day is helping customers at the counter, on the phone and by email. Someone comes in with a worn-out part or a machine that's stopped, and you work out what they need and get it to them. You'll get to know the regulars. A lot of this job is relationships – with customers and with the suppliers you're chasing parts from.
Key responsibilities
Help customers at the counter, on the phone and by email
Work out what parts customers need
Quote jobs
Process orders and invoices
Keep stock accurate
Ensure the workshop has what it needs for booked service jobs
About you
Ideally you've done parts interpreting before in agricultural, automotive, trucks, heavy equipment, or similar
Mechanically minded with the ability to learn
Good with people
Comfortable on a computer
Careful with detail
Happy to get on with things without being told twice
