We are looking for a reliable retail yard associate for our landscape supply yard. An insurable driving record is a must. There is a lot of variety in this job, so you’ll never be bored, but it consists largely of operating equipment and helping customers in our retail yard (loading product into their truck and trailer beds and collecting payment), with some light machinery maintenance, and occasionally delivering products to clients’ homes. Ability to weld or knowledge of equipment mechanics is a plus but not required.
We are Bark Blowers Inc. (a family owned company with 36 years in the landscape supply business). We specialize in selling bark dust, soil, rock, etc. to primarily residential properties in the SW Portland area. We are located in Tigard, just off highway 217.
Our work space is casual and our work week runs 8AM-5PM (depending on when it gets light), 6 days a week during the yard and gardening season (March - October), and 8AM-4PM 5 days a week in the off season (November - February).
Pay is $20/hour to start, and depends on experience and useable skills. This is a full time position of approximately 40 hrs/week, but it may be less in the off season or more in the summer. Depending, we could be flexible with work hours.
We are looking for compatible team players with people skills and the willingness to learn. Everyone here does a little bit of everything, so adaptability and a positive, can-do attitude are musts! Previous knowledge of the industry is wonderful, but not required. If you have a great attitude, we are happy to train the right person!
Our ideal candidate:
— has a clean, insurable driving record, and is comfortable driving & operating larger machinery (including dump trucks & front loaders)
— enjoys talking with people, providing information and being helpful with a friendly disposition
— is willing to take on new challenges & is a team player
— doesn’t mind getting dirty or dusty
— is able to effectively communicate and multitask with frequent interruptions
First and foremost, we are a customer service oriented company that delivers product with a smile.
