• Remake, adjust and repair frames.
• Follow up on outstanding customer orders.

About the person

At minimum the ideal applicant will have:

• Appropriate provincial Optician license or certification by a nationally or provincially recognized opticianry college.
• Whilst displaying a genuine care for eye health the Optician is also capable of confidently and effectively working with customers through the frame selection process.
• Strong and effective time management and organizational skills.
• Works with a sense of urgency and adaptability.
• Flexibility to work mall hours including evenings and weekends.

We are a privately owned and operated Australian optical retailer and clinical service provider with a strong passion for continuous improvement and growth. Since 2012 we have grown our network to over 130 stores across three countries including 6 stores in Canada.
