De
The Building Company, through its BUCO Honeydew store in Gauteng, is looking for an Internal Sales Representative to join its team on a permanent basis. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role at the heart of a busy building materials store, where the main purpose of the job is to make sure customer orders are processed fast and efficiently and fulfilled correctly, while always upholding the company’s standards of appearance and behaviour. The position carries reference 701310071302, and applications close on 28 November 2026.
About the company and the work
The employer is The Building Company, which trades through BUCO stores serving builders, contractors and home improvers across South Africa. BUCO Honeydew is a retail building materials outlet where customers come for advice, quotations, stock and deliveries, and where accurate service matters as much as product knowledge. The internal sales team is the link between the customer, the stock on the shelves and the delivery vehicles leaving the yard, so the work suits someone who enjoys people, problem-solving and a fast-moving trading floor.
Role details and duties
The Internal Sales Representative is responsible for the full in-store sales cycle, from the first customer enquiry to the delivery of goods. Day-to-day duties include maintaining stock levels so that popular lines are available when customers need them; attending to customer requirements in store, by phone and at the counter; resolving customer queries quickly and professionally; managing the delivery of customer goods so that orders arrive complete and on time; and managing the administration that supports every sale. The role also covers processing orders accurately, managing quotations for non-stock items, meeting delivery deadlines, and delivering consistently good customer service. Above all, the successful candidate is expected to uphold and promote the company’s values and culture in every interaction, whether with a walk-in customer, a regular trade account or a colleague on the floor.
Requirements
Applicants need a Grade 12 certificate and three years of retail sales experience in a building or construction environment. That background matters because customers will ask about materials, quantities and suitability for a job, and the representative needs to understand the products and the pace of the trade. The advert does not state an experience level label beyond the requirements above, so candidates should judge their fit on the stated experience and qualification rather than on a seniority label.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24, where the closing date is given as 28 November 2026. Apply through the Apply button on this page, which opens the original advert. Be wary of anyone asking for payment in exchange for a job, and never share banking details or passwords with a recruiter. The application for this role is an external application, so it is completed through the original listing rather than on this site.
Practical tips
Lead with your building materials or hardware retail experience: name the product ranges you have sold, the size of the counter or department you worked on, and any experience with quotations, stock control or delivery coordination. If you have handled trade accounts, mention how you kept regular customers coming back. Prepare a short example of a time you resolved a tricky customer query or rescued a delivery deadline, since that is exactly the work this role covers. Check that your CV states your Grade 12 qualification and your three years of relevant experience clearly, and be ready to discuss your availability for a permanent, store-based role in Honeydew.
How the process works
Applications go through the Careers24 listing to The Building Company, which reviews them against the stated requirements. Shortlisted candidates are then contacted for the next stage of the process. If you have not heard back after the closing date, it is reasonable to assume that your application was not successful on this occasion, and to keep an eye out for similar BUCO vacancies, which are advertised regularly.
