Job description

Virginia Eagle Distributing (VED) is one of Virginia’s leading beverage distributors, delivering beer and non-alcoholic beverages to retailers across the Commonwealth. We’re looking for a dependable, motivated Part-Time Merchandiser to join our Pulaski team working in the Blacksburg area — stocking shelves, building displays, rotating product, and making sure our brands look great at every account.

The route schedule is Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday starting at 4 am. This is a physical, active, out-in-the-field role — not a desk job. If you have a background in retail stocking, grocery merchandising, or consumer packaged goods (CPG), or you’re looking for part-time hours in an active, hands-on role, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Drive a company vehicle to assigned retail accounts on scheduled shifts and stock shelves, coolers, and display areas with VED products according to plan‑o‑gram and brand standards
• Rotate product at every visit to ensure date compliance; pull and document any out-of-code or damaged items
• Build and maintain point-of-sale displays, cold-box placements, and floor stacks to VED and supplier standards
• Execute promotional programs, new item placements, and pricing as directed
• Provide courteous, professional service to store staff at each account; communicate account needs and any issues to your Sales Representative or Relief Manager
• Report shelf conditions, out-of-stocks, and competitive activity to your Sales Representative or Relief Manager
• Complete required documentation and reports accurately and on time

What We’re Looking For

• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (subject to motor vehicle record check)
• Ability to lift and carry 15–40+ lbs repeatedly throughout the shift, including overhead lifting, with frequent bending, stooping, reaching, and standing across multiple locations
• Previous experience as a Merchandiser, retail stocker, grocery stocker, or in beverage or CPG distribution preferred — candidates from grocery, retail, or consumer goods backgrounds are encouraged to apply
• Basic math skills and ability to verify case quantities
• Comfortable operating a handheld scanning device and tablet for documentation
• Reliable attendance for scheduled shifts, including weekend shifts where assigned
• Ability to communicate effectively in English, verbally and in writing

What We Offer

• Pay range $16.50 - $18.00 per hour. Starting pay for new hires is typically at or near the range minimum. Placement above the minimum is based on directly relevant industry experience and internal equity.
• Uniforms provided
