Flooring & Décor Sales Associate (Part-Time) – Home Depot, Winnipeg, MB
Location: Winnipeg, MB | Company: Home Depot
Home Depot is hiring a part-time Flooring & Décor Sales Associate for its Winnipeg North store in Manitoba. This retail position focuses on helping customers understand product options, plan home improvement projects and locate suitable flooring, décor and related materials.
The role combines customer service, sales support, product learning and department maintenance. Associates are expected to approach customers proactively, ask useful questions about their projects and provide clear guidance throughout the shopping process.
Supporting Flooring and Décor Customers
The Flooring & Décor Sales Associate helps customers make informed decisions about products that may form part of a larger renovation or decorating project. This requires understanding the customer’s goals, experience level and practical needs before recommending possible options.
Associates may explain product features, compare available choices and identify related materials or services that could help the customer complete the project. The position also involves providing basic assistance in nearby departments and directing customers to the correct merchandise throughout the store.
Key Areas of Responsibility
Daily responsibilities centre on customer engagement, product knowledge, sales support and maintaining an organized department. The associate should be prepared to balance project-focused conversations with routine sales floor tasks.
Customer Conversations
Greet shoppers, ask open-ended questions and learn about their projects so assistance can be adapted to their needs and level of experience.
Product Recommendations
Explain flooring and décor product features and help customers compare available options based on their project priorities.
Whole-Project Guidance
Suggest related merchandise or services that may be needed beyond the customer’s original product request.
Store Service Promotion
Inform customers about services such as Special Services, Tool Rental, the Pro Desk and other forms of project support.
Department Maintenance
Keep merchandise clean, correctly signed and properly displayed so customers can navigate the department more easily.
Cross-Department Support
Escort customers to products in other areas and provide basic assistance when their project extends beyond flooring and décor.
Building Useful Product Knowledge
Product knowledge is central to this role because customers may need help understanding differences between materials, features and available price points. Associates are expected to continue learning about products in their own department as well as related merchandise in adjacent areas.
Home Depot describes the sales approach as presenting good, better and best options. This gives customers a clearer view of the alternatives available and helps them choose products that reflect their priorities, project scope and level of experience.
Skills That May Help Candidates Succeed

Listening carefully and asking relevant questions helps the associate understand the customer’s project before offering guidance.
A willingness to learn about flooring, décor and related products supports more useful and confident customer conversations.
A friendly and professional manner can help build trust with customers who may be uncertain about products or project requirements.
The ability to connect customer needs with appropriate products, services or additional materials is an important part of the position.
Maintaining clean displays, visible signage and accessible merchandise contributes to a more effective shopping experience.
Work Environment and Candidate Requirements
This retail position involves regular physical activity, including bending, stooping, reaching, twisting, lifting, pushing, pulling and moving merchandise. The store environment may be dusty or noisy, and frequently opened doors can cause drafts and changes in indoor temperature.
Applicants should have a high school diploma or equivalent education. Home Depot lists one to two years of retail or trade experience as an asset rather than a mandatory requirement. Candidates must also be available for a flexible part-time schedule that may include evenings and weekends.
