Member Service Assistant – Costco, St. John’s, NL
Location: St. John's, NL | Company: Costco Wholesale
Costco Wholesale is hiring a Member Service Assistant for its warehouse at 75 Danny Drive in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. This front-end and security-support position focuses on welcoming members, verifying memberships, checking receipts, monitoring warehouse access and helping maintain a safe and organized environment.
The role combines customer service with regular safety and security responsibilities. Employees greet members at the entrance and exit, track warehouse entry counts, inspect receipts, respond to hazards and complete perimeter checks. A valid driver’s licence and access to a personal vehicle are required because some security checks are performed from outside the warehouse.
Supporting Members and Warehouse Safety
Member Service Assistants are among the first and last Costco employees members may interact with during a warehouse visit. At the entrance, employees verify membership cards, welcome members and help keep access areas organized. At the exit, they compare receipts with merchandise, respond to questions and arrange assistance when a correction or concern needs to be resolved.
The position also includes an important safety and security component. Employees complete regular inspections throughout the warehouse and perimeter, identify hazards such as spills or blocked exits and report their findings to the duty manager. This combination of member service and operational awareness makes the role broader than a traditional greeter position.
Key Areas of Responsibility
Daily responsibilities cover member interaction, access control, safety inspections, receipt checking and security monitoring. Employees are expected to remain attentive while providing courteous service throughout the warehouse.
Member Greeting

Requirements for This Position
A High School Diploma or GED is preferred for this Costco Member Service Assistant role. No previous work experience is required, making the position accessible to candidates beginning a retail or customer service career as well as those with previous front-end or security-related experience.
A valid driver’s licence and access to a personal vehicle are required. The official posting notes that some after-hours and perimeter security checks are completed from the employee’s vehicle, including observing access points and reporting conditions to the duty manager by radio.
Skills That May Help Candidates Succeed
Although Costco does not list additional formal skills as requirements, several practical abilities can help employees manage the combination of member service and safety responsibilities involved in this role.
Friendly and respectful communication helps employees welcome members, answer questions and resolve concerns at both the entrance and exit.
Strong awareness helps employees identify hazards, monitor access areas and notice situations that may require attention from warehouse management.
Receipt checks, entry counts and inspection forms require careful and consistent attention throughout the working day.
Clear communication is useful when reporting safety concerns, arranging assistance for members and coordinating with the duty manager or other employees.
Regular safety rounds, security checks and access monitoring depend on employees following procedures consistently and completing assigned tasks on schedule.
