Job Description

Ole is a distinguished company dedicated to producing the finest authentic Mexican-inspired products with an unwavering commitment to quality and freshness. At Ole, the philosophy is centered around more than just food production; it is about creating an experience that families can enjoy together. The company prides itself on crafting authentic products that enable families to create wholesome, fun, and genuine Mexican eating experiences right at their dinner tables. This deep respect for authenticity and quality has established Ole as a trusted name among consumers who seek fresh and reliable Mexican food products. As a company, Ole is focused on maintaining the highest standards in food production while fostering a culture that values craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.

The Route Sales Driver position at Ole is a critical role that supports the company's distribution and delivery operations. This is not a remote or hybrid position; it requires someone who is reliable, punctual, and dedicated to ensuring that Ole’s fresh products reach grocery stores across scheduled routes efficiently and safely. This role involves the transportation of tortillas and cardboard displays to a variety of grocery accounts, encompassing both chains and independent stores. The ideal candidate will be comfortable with direct store delivery (DSD) systems, adept at managing logistics, and capable of performing routine vehicle maintenance to guarantee that the delivery vehicle operates flawlessly. The route sales driver is responsible not only for symptomatically delivering high-quality products but also for creating lasting positive impressions through professionalism and attention to detail.

In addition to driving responsibilities, the role at Ole requires proficiency in handheld and printer devices used to create invoices and credits at the point of delivery. The driver will also be expected to assist with loading and unloading products at the warehouse and store locations, demonstrating a hands-on approach and physical capability. Merchandising is another integral component of this position, requiring the driver to set up displays and ensure product presentation meets the company standards. Navigational skills are essential for adjusting routes on the fly to avoid traffic congestion or construction delays, ensuring timely deliveries, and maintaining accurate logs of travel time and work hours. The candidate will also be tasked with vehicle upkeep, including regular cleaning and inspections to uphold company image and safety. Reporting any accidents, injuries, or vehicle damages promptly to management is a vital part of ensuring operational safety and responsibility.

This position offers an opportunity to be a vital part of a growing company passionate about delivering excellence in authentic Mexican food products. Ole values dependable team members who share a commitment to quality and detail-oriented work ethics. The company supports its employees with a stable working environment where their contribution directly impacts customer satisfaction and the brand's success. The Route Sales Driver will enjoy a dynamic workday that combines driving, customer interaction, and operational responsibilities, making it an ideal fit for individuals who thrive in active and varied roles. Overall, this role is perfect for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys engaging with customers, and embraces the responsibility of being a frontline ambassador for Ole's exceptional products.
