Stocker – Costco – Vancouver, BC
Location: Vancouver, BC | Company: Costco Wholesale
The Costco warehouse at 605 Expo Blvd in Vancouver, BC is looking for a reliable and motivated Stocker to join their team. This is a hands-on role at the heart of warehouse operations — keeping shelves full, aisles clear, and members happy. If you enjoy physical work in a structured environment, this could be a solid fit.
Day to day, you’ll be stocking merchandise, managing pallets, creating signage, and making sure the sales floor looks its best. It’s a role that requires attention to detail, a willingness to stay active throughout your shift, and a good attitude when interacting with members on the floor.
About the Role: Stocker
As a Stocker at Costco Vancouver, your primary focus is keeping the warehouse floor well-stocked and organized. You’ll follow merchandising standards, communicate with supervisors to understand priorities, and use equipment like manual pallet jacks and box knives to keep product flowing efficiently from storage to shelves. You’ll also help maintain accurate and attractive product signage using computer-generated tools and a marking gun.
Safety and cleanliness are central to this role. You’ll be responsible for clearing the sales floor of debris, operating the cardboard bailer and trash compactor, and following all Costco safety and security procedures. Member interaction is also part of the job — helping load large items, directing members to products, and delivering friendly, prompt service throughout your shift.
