We are excited to offer this position at our Port McNeill location: Outside / Field Sales Representative.

About the Position

This is a multi-faceted, hands-on role that goes well beyond traditional sales. You will have a weekly schedule to visit customers throughout Port McNeill, Port Hardy, and Port Alice, with rotating trips to Sointula, Alert Bay, and Sayward.

- Finding the right balance to maximize sales and minimize returns.
- Visiting customers even when no order is required to check in,



build relationships, and look for new sales opportunities.
- Checking company equipment such as Coca Cola coolers and Arctic Glacier freezers to ensure they are clean, working, and properly maintained.
- Helping with deliveries and other tasks when needed by the warehouse operations team.
