Dairy Frozen Associate – Walmart – Waterloo, ON

Waterloo’s Walmart location on Farmers Market Road is looking for a Dairy Frozen Associate to join their in-store team. This is a temporary (fixed term) position that puts you right at the centre of a busy, fast-moving retail environment where your work directly shapes the experience customers have every single visit.

Day to day, you’ll be responsible for keeping the Dairy and Frozen department stocked, organized, and customer-ready. That means rotating products, monitoring freshness, maintaining cold chain and food safety standards, and ensuring shelves are properly signed and priced. If you’re someone who takes pride in a well-run department and genuinely enjoys helping people, this role is a solid fit.

About the Role: Dairy Frozen Associate

As a Dairy Frozen Associate, your primary focus is making sure the department runs smoothly and that customers can always find fresh, quality products. You’ll handle stocking and stock rotation, check for expired items, maintain proper zoning, and support merchandising and promotional displays. Accuracy in pricing and labelling is part of the daily routine, as is following all ordering and clearance procedures.

This role also carries real responsibility around food safety and cold chain compliance. You’ll conduct temperature checks, calibrate thermometers, and follow strict sanitation and cleaning procedures. Working as part of a collaborative team, you’ll also be expected to keep your work area safe and hazard-free in line with Walmart’s Health and Safety guidelines. Flexibility across morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight shifts — including weekends and holidays — is a key part of the role.

Benefits and Salary

This position starts at a minimum rate of $17.75 per hour. Walmart Canada associates also have access to a store discount, EQ Health support, and the Live Better U education program. Eligible associates may also qualify for comprehensive benefits, life insurance, paid time off, stock options, and deferred profit sharing, based on hours worked or employment status.
