- Rentals – assist with rental procedures for our products.
- Handle Gear – Give out and return our rental equipment, clean care for and store gear between trips.
- Customer Service – create an awesome experience and deliver excellent customer service.
- Fun – We want our team members to love what they do, so we want you to help promote a fun and inclusive work environment!
What will you bring to us?

- Desire to go above and beyond with a can-do, enthusiastic and team player attitude.
- Outstanding interpersonal skills with an engaging and approachable personality.
- Experience with POS systems is an asset.
We need someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can multitask & prioritize, follow through thoroughly on tasks with little supervision, and has a high standard of quality in all that they do. And it goes without saying that in the retail world, we are open on weekends and some holidays, so we need our associates to be willing to work these hours.
