  • Suggest innovative approaches to sales, merchandising, and customer engagement to help bring the company into the modern retail environment.
  • Teamwork & Flexibility

  • Collaborate with colleagues across sales, yard, delivery, and management teams to meet company goals.
  • Jump in where needed-whether helping in the lumber yard, dusting a shelf, or assisting with deliveries during busy times.
  • Support safety, cleanliness, and operational standards across the store.
  • Qualifications

    Required :

  • Previous retail, sales, or customer service experience (hardware, lumber, or building materials industry preferred).
