About The Position

As a Sales Specialist at Lowe's, you help customers identify the products they need and turn project ideas into reality. You spend most of your time communicating with customers, discussing project needs, answering questions, and helping them achieve their home improvement goals. You become a product expert, explaining specifications, features, promotions, and financing options to support sales and meet customer needs. The position is assigned to a department based on hiring needs and skillsets: Appliances, Cabinets, Flooring, Live Nursery, Millwork, Fashion Plumbing, Outlet, Tool Rental, Pro, or Windows & Walls.

The role does not require regular travel, though occasional travel to meetings, training, or neighboring stores may be needed. Working conditions vary by location and may include indoor and outdoor weather, extreme heat or cold, wet or humid conditions, wind or drafts, noise, and moving or shaking objects and equipment. Associates must follow lifting guidelines, limit single lifts to 75 pounds, use team lifts minimally starting at 75 pounds or when needed, and use powered equipment only as required and with proper training or assistance.
