  • Load soils, pottery, and large items into customer vehicles safely and efficiently
  • Stock, organize, and merchandise heavy and bulky products
  • Maintain inventory accuracy and assist with product receiving
  • Keep aisles, yards, and storage areas clean, safe, and organized

  • Customer-focused with clear communication skills
  • Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented

Nice to Have (But Not Required)

  • Experience in retail, hardware, or farm & garden

  • Forklift experience (or willingness to learn)

Why Work With Us

  • Active, hands-on work—no desk, no downtime
