Job Description:

Ready to join a team where your people skills and hands-on hustle both matter? We're looking for a friendly, driven individual who's just as comfortable talking with customers as they are rolling up their sleeves in the warehouse.



In this role, your day will be a mix of building relationships, helping customers find the right products, following up on projects, and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Whether you're closing a sale, prepping an order, making a delivery, or tidying up the showroom, you'll play a key part in delivering top-notch service and keeping our operation sharp. It would be anticipated that 7-15 hours/week will be in the warehouse, with the remainder focusing on sales.



If you're proactive, reliable, and ready to grow with a company that values your work, we want to hear from you. Bring your energy-we'll provide the tools, training, and support you need to succeed. Ready to be part of a company that values your hard work and dedication? If so, apply now!
