Customer Service Mindset:

A friendly demeanor and good communication skills are essential, as this role may evolve into customer-facing responsibilities.

Team Player:

Willingness to jump in where needed, whether it's sweeping the floor or helping a customer load their truck.

Curiosity:

An interest in sustainability, wood species, and construction is a huge bonus.

Reliable:

Punctuality and a positive attitude are non-negotiable. • This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a pilot program that is changing how Seattle builds.
