Sales & Technical Associate — Paint, Tools & EquipmentCompany Overview
GTA Paint & Decor, in proud partnership with Benjamin Moore, has served the Greater Toronto Area for nearly 20 years. Beyond premium paints, we're an authorized Festool dealer and a registered warranty/service center for Graco and Titan spray equipment — making us the go-to destination for contractors, painters, and homeowners who need real expertise, not just a product on a shelf.
Position Overview
We're looking for a high-energy, sales-driven individual to join our floor team. This role is built for someone who can genuinely close a sale on high-ticket tools and equipment, isn't afraid of physical work, and is eager to learn paint tinting and spray equipment repair from day one — these are core daily responsibilities for every team member on the floor, not add-ons.
We're not looking for a finished product. We're looking for someone coachable, driven, and ready to grow into deeper technical and product expertise over time — including an eventual path toward greater store responsibility for the right person.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive sales of Benjamin Moore paint, Festool equipment, and paint sprayers — listening to customer needs and confidently closing on the right product
- Learn and perform paint tinting as a core daily task
- Assist with Graco/Titan spray equipment diagnostics and repair (training provided)
- Daily warehouse stocking, inventory, and store organization
- Order fulfillment, deliveries, and pickups
- Deliver a high standard of customer service — engaged, approachable, and knowledgeable
Qualifications
- Proven ability to sell and close, ideally on higher-ticket items (retail, trades, or related sales experience)
- Comfortable with physical work — regular lifting of 50 lbs+, stocking, moving product
- Mechanical or trade aptitude a strong asset — willingness to learn equipment repair is essential
- An eye for color and product detail; formal design/paint background not required, but a plus
- Valid driver's license required
- Fluency in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English required — approximately 90% of our customer base in Markham communicates primarily in Mandarin and/or Cantonese, and this is essential to serving them well
Compensation & Growth
- Starting range: $50,000–$55,000/year, based on experience
- Full-time position
- Performance-based growth path, not just time-served:
