Battery Sales and Service

Job Description

Front Counter Sales Associate @ Edmonds Batteries

Your main priority in this position is to provide service to our walk-in customers.

Customers will come in with batteries of all kinds (mainly automotive) and you’ll help them diagnose their problems. You’ll take them through our trusted sales process, prepare parts and Service quotes, and handle basic battery installation when needed.

We know you’re not a battery expert yet – that’s why we’ll train you to make sure you can provide the best service and advice to our customers. You’ll shadow our experts on calls, installations, and customer interactions to learn the ropes.

Our customers will love you because you’ll focus on finding them the right solutions – not just making a sale.

You will love working here because just like our customers, we treat you right. We are fair and we care. We offer:

• Competitive wages and benefits
• Clothing allowances
• RRSP matching up to 5%
• Promote from within
• Enjoy team activities and contests.

The Right Fit

A bit of sales or customer service experience will help you hit the ground running in this role, but there’s a few key reasons why you’re the right fit:

• You don’t mind getting a little dirty – you’ll be working with dirty batteries, with vehicles, and sometimes outdoors to help customers in our parking lot. You’ll go the extra mile to help diagnose their problems.
• You stay calm under pressure – when we get busy, you don’t get flustered. You can go with the flow, and multitask like a pro.
• You take initiative – you recognize that there is always something to do and take a proactive approach to your day.

Qualifications: You enjoy working with your hands – you feel comfortable using tools like wrenches, sockets, and drills for basic battery installations, and love doing hands-on work.
You are available for full time hours (sorry, no part time positions) and once trained enough, available to enter our Saturday rotation.

• Experience with cash handling in a retail environment
• Experience working in a customer-facing role (sales, customer service)
• Ability to lift up to 60 lbs. on a regular basis throughout an 8 hour shift
• Experience working with tools is preferred (wrenches, sockets, drills)
• Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record (for deliveries)
• Dangerous goods training and forklift training is an asset (we’ll train you)
• Highschool diploma or equivalent
