Store Scanning Specialist
RetailData LLCIn the aisles: day-to-day expectations
As a Store Scanning Specialist, you’ll operate onsite at grocery and other retail locations in the Fredericton area, using a smartphone to download the company pricing app, receive assignments, and capture pricing data as you move through store aisles. The workflow is driven by timely starts and finishes, with attention to the details required by each project. Some assignments may involve handling items in cold-store areas like refrigerators and freezers, so preparation for cooler environments is part of the job. Drive time is paid and mileage is reimbursed as part of the role.
The work is grounded in consistency and accuracy, and the position emphasizes standing for extended periods and, on occasion, lifting up to 40 pounds intermittently to complete certain tasks. The onsite nature of the job means you’ll be out in stores, following the assigned routes and schedules to ensure pricing data arrives in a timely and reliable manner.

- High school diploma or equivalent
- Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, reliable transportation, and valid automobile insurance
- Smartphone capable of downloading the company pricing app and receiving assignments
- Reliability to start and finish assignments on time with the detail required by the project criteria
- Ability to stand during shifts and lift up to 40 pounds intermittently
- Willingness to work in cold temperatures found in grocery store refrigerators and freezers for some projects
Compensation, perks and practical details
The posting describes a productivity-based pay structure that includes a guaranteed minimum and the potential for upside as proficiency increases.

Flexible work schedules and opportunities for learning and development are also highlighted, alongside the onsite, essential nature of the work in retail environments.
All of this is framed around an emphasis on accountability, respect and trust, with the role located in Fredericton and designed to support a healthy work-life balance.
Tips to stand out for this role
Put the must-have items front and center on your resume: clearly show your high school diploma or equivalent, your valid driver’s license, clean driving record, reliable transportation and auto insurance, plus your ability to use a smartphone and a pricing app for assignments.
Demonstrate you can prove the must-have skills with concrete examples: note any previous data-collection work using mobile applications, and include a track record of meeting deadlines and submitting accurate pricing data.
Be ready to talk about real-world scenarios in interviews: describe times you started and completed assignments on schedule with the required level of detail, and explain how you handle working in cool store environments and managing occasional heavy lifting.
Ask a smart, targeted question: inquire about how training is structured and how the pricing app workflow operates on a typical shift, including what a first 90 days plan might look like and which stores you’d be servicing soon.
