Electronics/Majors Sales Assistant – Costco – Winnipeg, MB
Location: Winnipeg, MB | Company: Costco Wholesale
Costco’s Winnipeg location on Portage Avenue is looking for an Electronics/Majors Sales Assistant to join its warehouse team. This role puts you right on the sales floor — working directly with members in the major appliance, jewellery, and electronics departments to help them find the right products and make informed purchasing decisions.
If you enjoy staying current on the latest consumer technology and home appliances, and you’re the kind of person who genuinely likes helping people, this position offers a hands-on environment where product knowledge and member service go hand in hand.
About the Role: Electronics/Majors Sales Assistant
Day to day, you’ll be the go-to person for members browsing electronics, major appliances, and jewellery. That means answering questions, demonstrating products, explaining features, and helping members load purchases into their carts. You’ll also keep the department looking sharp — facing and aligning product, maintaining displays, and ensuring signage is accurate.
Beyond member-facing duties, this role involves staying sharp on product knowledge by reading industry magazines and product reviews, experimenting with merchandise to understand its specifications, and communicating with the Area Manager about inventory levels, pricing, and promotions. You’ll also play a part in loss prevention by organizing security lock-up and keeping the sales floor clean and clear of debris.
