• Relationship Management: Serve as the main point of contact for store staff, resolving issues with a professional and calm demeanor.
• Documentation & Accuracy: Manage stales, returns, and credits with precision while using our digital tools for reporting and photo documentation.

What You Bring to the Table

• The Credentials: A valid Alberta Class 5 driver’s license (or higher) with a clean driving abstract.
• The Schedule: You are a morning person! You’re comfortable with early starts, variable schedules, and working peak seasons or holidays.
• The Drive: You can work independently with minimal supervision and have basic math and time-management skills.
• The Tech: Comfort using smartphones and apps for ordering and internal communication.
• Physical Fitness: Ability to lift, push, and pull up to 25 kg (55 lb) and handle repetitive bending and reaching throughout the day.
