About the Role
As a Freight Associate, you’ll be one of the key people who keeps our store looking great and our shelves stocked and ready for customers. You’ll be responsible for receiving and replenishing freight, organizing the sales floor, and making sure every aisle is clean, safe, and easy to shop.

You’ll work closely with your freight teammates and other store departments to make sure products are stocked accurately and the store is always ready for the next day.

- Stocking merchandise onto shelves accurately to achieve a 100% in-stock position for customers
- Down-stocking from overstock and replenishing shelves from new freight
- Inspecting stock items for wear, defects, or damage and reporting any issues to a supervisor
- Rotating products that have expiry dates to ensure older stock is sold first
- Maintaining aisle cleanliness and shopability – minimizing freight intrusion while working and leaving aisles clean and safe when done
- Ensuring electronic shelf labels (ESLs) are accurate, properly displayed, and flagging any discrepancies for correction
- Communicating with teammates to ensure all products are stocked accurately on shelves and in overstock areas
- Always working in compliance with WorkSafeBC Standards
What We’re Looking For
Here’s what will set you up for success in this role:
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds repetitively and perform physical tasks throughout your shift

- Detail oriented with a strong eye for accuracy in stocking, labelling, and product placement
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team
- Strong commitment to safe work practices and keeping the store environment hazard-free
- Good problem-solving and decision-making skills – you can think on your feet when things don’t go as planned
- Basic computer skills are an asset; training on our systems (including the ESL platform) will be provided
- Experience with lift equipment such as forklifts or pallet jacks is an asset
