Job Posting – Part Time Logistics Associate – Belleville
LOCATION: 365 Maitland Dr, Belleville, ON, K8N 4Z5
WHO WE ARE - At our core, we are driven by a simple mission: to offer top-notch products at unbeatable prices. Recognizing the fundamental importance of choice in hockey gear, we take immense pride in being a family-run business that offers one of the most extensive selections of sticks, gear, and accessories worldwide, catering to various price points.
We achieve this by sourcing products directly from professional teams and the manufacturers. Our unwavering focus is on delivering the best 'bang for your buck', as evidenced by our Pro Stock and Pro Blackout lineups, industry closeouts, and even used and refurbished gear. Lots of products we bring in are hard to find and manage, but instead of shying away, we go 'diggin in the corners'. Just like in hockey, we think there’s a place for grinders in the equipment industry.
By prioritizing the needs and desires of hockey families, this father and sons team which began by fixing broken sticks in the basement, has grown to include many other likeminded hockey people and garnered tremendous support from the hockey community. We remain rooted in our humble beginnings, and relentless in our commitment to making hockey accessible to all, regardless of financial means.
WHO YOU ARE - You are an energetic, highly motivated individual who recognizes this as an opportunity to work in the hockey industry. You grew up playing hockey, and are experienced with, and interested in hockey equipment. You take pride in your work and the potential to make a real difference with a small business. You are a friendly, outgoing person who likes to work with people, while also maintaining a high attention to detail and organizational skills. You are someone with a good understanding of digital platforms and are highly motivated to learn and work in sports.
THE ROLE – You will be play a key role in our logistical operations, especially when it comes to shipping, receiving, and managing inventory for our wide range of products. You will be part of a team responsible for receiving new inventory from suppliers (including pro teams), storing and organizing this inventory, and ultimately picking and packing orders to ship out for our online store. You will spend much of your day on your feet, with a major focus on shipping throughout peak season. We are a small business and rely on everyone stepping up in different areas as necessary.
Our priority is to hire someone to help stretch our operational hours. Because of this, most shifts will be evenings (until 7:30) and weekends when our shipping usually slows down. We believe this would be a great role for a student to get their feet wet in the sports industry and potentially grow within the company.
