Lot Associate (Part-Time) – Home Depot, Saskatoon, SK
Location: Saskatoon, SK | Company: Home Depot
Home Depot is hiring a part-time Lot Associate for its Saskatoon South store in Saskatchewan. This customer-facing retail position focuses on helping shoppers load merchandise, collecting carts and maintaining a safe, organized parking and loading area.
The Lot Associate is often one of the first and last employees customers interact with during a store visit. The role requires a helpful attitude, good judgement when handling merchandise and the ability to work outdoors in changing weather conditions.
Supporting Customers Outside the Store
The Lot Associate helps create a positive experience before customers enter the store and after they complete their purchases. Much of the work takes place near the entrance, parking lot and designated loading areas, where the associate assists with carts and larger merchandise.
The position also involves approaching customers who may need help moving products into a vehicle. Associates must consider the size, shape and weight of each item and follow safe loading procedures so merchandise is handled carefully and placed securely.
Key Areas of Responsibility
This Home Depot position combines customer service, physical work, parking lot maintenance and safety awareness. Responsibilities may change throughout the shift depending on customer traffic, cart availability and loading activity.
Vehicle Loading
Assist customers with placing purchased merchandise into cars, trucks or other vehicles while following established safe loading practices.
Cart Collection
Gather shopping carts from the parking area and maintain a sufficient supply near the store entrance for arriving customers.
Customer Assistance

Safety Procedures
Follow store safety, equipment and loss-prevention procedures while working around vehicles, customers and merchandise.
Physical and Outdoor Work Expectations
This is an active role that involves bending, reaching, twisting, lifting, pushing, pulling and moving merchandise or shopping carts. Associates may help with products of different sizes and should be prepared to remain physically active throughout the shift.
Much of the work may take place outdoors in varying weather conditions. The store and warehouse environment can also be dusty or noisy, while frequently opened doors may create drafts and temperature changes near the entrance and loading areas.
