Job Description

Do you prefer the peace of the night and have a “perfectionist” streak when it comes to grocery shopping? Save-On-Foods is looking for an Overnight Personal Shopper to join our energetic Calgary team. We don’t just put food in bags; we deliver the promise of a stress-free morning for our customers. If you have the “grit” to handle a physical shift and the “wit” to pick the best produce in the building, you are the person our customers are looking for.

In this role, you are the ultimate brand ambassador behind the scenes. You understand that if a customer receives a bruised apple or a crushed loaf of bread, their trust in our service is broken. That’s why we look for shoppers who take “freshness” personally. You’ll be working in a fun, fast-paced environment where the team relies on each other to get the job done before the sun comes up. It’s a great role for those who enjoy active work and want a schedule that leaves their daylight hours free.

Joining Save-On-Foods means joining a company that values your hard work with weekly pay and real opportunities for growth. Whether you are looking for a stable part-time gig or a way to start a career in retail operations, we provide the benefits and the positive environment to help you succeed. We value integrity and a “customer-first” attitude, even when the customer isn’t standing right in front of you.

If you are a reliable, food-loving night owl ready to help us lead the way in Calgary’s grocery scene, we invite you to apply today.
