Merchandising Quick Recovery Team

Rainbow Greenhouses Inc.•Abbotsford, BC

About The Position

Rainbow Greenhouses is hiring two highly dependable and mobile individuals for the Quick Recovery Team (QRT) — a critical support function within our retail garden centre program across British Columbia. The QRT exists to ensure zero gaps in service. When a merchandiser calls in sick, resigns unexpectedly, or is otherwise unavailable, a QRT member deploys to that store — often on short notice — and steps in as a fully capable merchandiser to keep operations running at the highest standard. You are the safety net that keeps the program strong. This is a fully mobile, always-deployed role. There is no home store. QRT members travel across BC continuously — from Vancouver Island to the Interior — moving from location to location wherever coverage is needed. You must be comfortable on the road, quick to adapt, and ready to represent Rainbow with professionalism and energy every time you walk through a garden centre door. As a QRT Merchandiser, you are the face of Rainbow Greenhouses at every store you enter. Successful QRT members work hard, understand that details matter, follow directions completely, and are entirely self-motivated. This job is physical, fast-paced, and demanding — with the right attitude, it is also rewarding.
