Customer Service / Yard Associate

The Shaw Group Limited is one of the 50 Best-Managed Companies in Canada and is one of Eastern Canada's leading construction products manufacturer and community developer. The original member of Atlantic Canada's Shaw Group of companies, Shaw Brick was established in 1861 as a small clay and tile manufacturer. Today Shaw Brick carries an extensive line of quality brick and concrete landscaping products. With retail centers in Dartmouth, Sydney, Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton our teams are dedicated to selling our quality products with a professional, service-oriented approach.

Are you a current post-secondary student or a recent graduate looking for a dynamic role that balances professional office experience with active, hands-on work? Join our team in Saint John, NB for the upcoming season!

This is a hybrid role designed for someone who doesn't want to be stuck behind a desk all day, every day. You will split your time between providing top-tier customer service in our office and supporting operations in the yard and warehouse. It's a fast-paced, "best of both worlds" position where teamwork and initiative are the keys to success.

As a key member of our branch, you will bridge the gap between our sales office and our yard operations:

• Assist customers in person and over the phone by creating sales orders, preparing quotes, and providing product recommendations.
• Help with yard/warehouse operations, by picking orders, shipping and receiving, and loading materials safely.
• Help manage schedules and inventory to ensure customers receive their orders efficiently and professionally.

What We're Looking For

This role is ideal for a student or recent graduate with a "team-first" attitude who is reliable, detail-oriented, and enjoys a physical, fast-paced environment.

• Communication: Strong interpersonal skills for both front-facing customer service and collaborative yard work.
• Tech & Math Savvy: Comfortable using Microsoft Office and confident working with numbers for quotes and measurements.
• Physical Readiness: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and a willingness to work outside in the yard as needed.
• Experience: Previous experience in general retail, LBM (Lumber & Building Materials), Home Improvement retail, or warehouse environments is a definite plus.
• Mindset: A positive attitude, a high degree of initiative, and the flexibility to switch tasks quickly as branch needs change.
• Assets: Bilingualism (English/French) and prior forklift experience is considered an asset.

What You Can Expect

• Consistent Monday through Friday daytime hours, so you can enjoy your evenings and weekends.
• Gain practical experience in both customer service and retail operations.
• On-the-job training in a friendly, team-focused environment.
• Competitive wages and the chance to make a real impact within a well-established company.
