Produce Clerk — Sea Mart Quality Foods
About The Position
Sea Mart Quality Foods is more than a supermarket; we are a Sitka landmark. Located on an island community with only 14 miles of road, we serve as the primary gateway for our neighbors' daily needs. As a 24-hour independently owned and operated store, we embrace the "Spirit of Alaska" through a deep commitment to our community and a "first-and-last" touchpoint hospitality model. Our history is rooted in resilience, navigating the complexities of island logistics where every product represents a journey by barge. We pride ourselves on being the stabilizing force that keeps Sitka stocked, secure, and welcomed. You Will Be The Ambassador of Freshness: You are the visual heart of the store. You ensure that our fruits and vegetables represent the high-energy "Spirit of Alaska" quality our neighbors expect. The Quality Guardian: You have a meticulous eye for detail, ensuring that only the freshest product remains on display through constant culling and precise rotation. A Wayfinding Guide: You act as a local expert, helping guests navigate seasonal varieties and identifying the best ingredients for their families.
Requirements
- Experience: None required; we are a "Teaching Store" and will train the right attitude.
- Age Requirement: 18+ Years Old (required for heavy machinery/baler operation).
- Certifications: Ability to obtain a valid Alaska Food Workers Card within 30 days of employment.
- Dynamic Mobility: Ability to stand for a 4-8 hour shift, lift up to 50 lbs (e.g., bags of potatoes/onions), and navigate walk-in coolers.

Responsibilities
- Master Merchandising: Execute daily replenishment of floor displays and produce items, ensuring high-impact visual appeal and full shelves.
- Strict Rotation & FIFO: Perform rigorous "First-In-First-Out" rotation and cull products past their peak to guarantee "Gold Standard" quality.
- Maintain Department Pride: Ensure a clean, safe, and hydrated sales floor by sweeping, cleaning display bins, and managing the high-moisture misting zones.
- Practice Wayfinding: Provide legendary service by walking guests to products rather than just pointing, acting as a local guide for our seasonal Produce selections.
