  RitterTech ParkerStore, an MCE Company

Are you mechanically curious, customer-focused, and looking for a hands-on role where your product knowledge and service attitude make a real difference for the people who walk through the door?

At the RitterTech ParkerStore in Saginaw, MI, our Store Associates are the experts that manufacturing, automotive, construction, and industrial customers count on when their equipment goes down and they need the right hose or fitting — fast. You will help customers identify solutions, build hose assemblies using crimping equipment, process quotes and orders in Profit 21, manage inventory, and represent the store to our customer base in the field. No two days are exactly the same, and the work you do directly helps customers get back up and running.

If you are mechanically inclined, enjoy helping people solve problems, and want to build real product knowledge in fluid power, this is a great role to grow with.

$24.00 / hr based on experience. We take care of our team with a full benefits package:

• Assist walk-in, email, and telephone customers in identifying the right hoses, fittings, tubing, and couplings for their industrial and mobile applications.

• Conduct cycle counts and manage and maintain inventory levels in the store.
• Maintain store merchandising — rotating end caps, keeping displays full, clean and organized, replenishing product information library, and keeping signage current.
• Fill in for store managers at other locations as needed when directed by management.

Must Have:
