Eco-Choice Pest Control Looking for Office/Retail Administrator at Haliburton, ON Full Time

We’re looking for the right person to complement our team in our office & retail shop in downtown Haliburton. This is a public-facing position, in an essential industry, that cannot be completed remotely. We understand that some are more comfortable working remotely and we respect all comfort levels, though we invite only those comfortable in an office/retail setting to apply.

Our small business has grown substantially due to the dedication and work ethic of our team. We treat each other well and value our staff above all else. If you are a hard-working, honest person who wants to be part of something positive and feel respected in the workplace, this may be a good fit for you.

The successful candidate will extend the same high level of customer service and dependability our customers expect; and take pride in maintaining our positive image as one of the faces of our organization.

This position is dynamic and changes drastically with the season, though it is a full-time, year-round post. While some weekend work is required through part of the year, this schedule is shared so no one person works every weekend. During the slow season, every team member enjoys weekends off, if they choose. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your personal priorities.

Our team enjoys 4-day work weeks (or equivalent during the part of the year weekend shifts are required) with the option of 32-40 hours per week so team members can ensure they are maintaining a healthy work-life balance without sacrificing income. We hold ourselves to high standards and endeavour to reward our team for their efforts.

– Update visual merchandising with engaging and timely displays
– Compile and send invoices, service reports and statements with effective communication
– Process service payments and provide receipts in person and electronically
– Weekend shifts required during busy season

Qualifications of our ideal candidate:
– Office/communications experience essential
– Schedule/routing experience an asset
– Problem solving, attention to detail, customer service and communication skills
– Effectively able to multitask and work independently while contributing to broader team goals
– Excellent computer skills and able to quickly learn new software. Quickbooks experience an asset
– Positive attitude and adaptability to a varied work environment including sitting and standing
– Experience creating engaging social media communication
– Professional and friendly demeanor

We offer:
– 4-day work week
– Health benefits
– Year-round, full-time employment with option to reduce hours during slow season if desired
– Comfortable, supportive office environment with ergonomic adaptations available (ie standing desk)
– Positive company culture with a team of honest, hard working, genuine people

We believe in working hard, treating others with respect and having fun while providing professional service. If this sounds like the ideal environment for you, please apply via email with subject line: Office/retail administrator.

Please do not apply via Facebook, over the phone or in person. Successful applicants will be contacted for an interview. Qualified applicants are asked to apply by Feb 28, 2022. We will screen applications as they come in and may hire before the deadline.
