Spruce Industries has been doing things the right way since 1961. We're a family-owned janitorial and sanitary supply distributor based in New Jersey — and after 60+ years, we're still proving that independence works. We partner with our customers the way family businesses do: honestly, responsively, and with a genuine interest in getting it right.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a hybrid position that blends two important functions. Three days a week, you're in the office — the hub of everything: processing orders, handling invoicing, quoting customers, and keeping things running smoothly. The other two days, you're out in the field with our customers — visiting accounts, managing inventory, and being the face of Spruce on the road.
Experienced matters. Fit matters more. If you're dependable, personable, take pride in your work, and want to be part of a team that genuinely has each other's backs — keep reading.
IN THE OFFICE (3 days/week):
- Receive, enter, and process customer orders accurately and efficiently
- Invoice all orders and maintain clean, accurate transaction records

IN THE FIELD (2 days/week):
- Visit customer accounts across New Jersey to conduct on-site inventory reviews
- Identify replenishment needs and communicate them back to the office team
- Build and strengthen relationships with customers face to face

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

- Some customer-facing experience is helpful, but we'll train the right person
- Valid driver's license for field days

WHY SPRUCE:
- We treat people like people. Family-owned since 1961 — you'll know everyone's name by your second week, and they'll know yours.
- No two days are the same. Office work, customer visits, problem-solving — there's real variety here.
- We do the right thing. It's not a slogan — it's genuinely how decisions get made around here.
- Room to grow. If you show up and prove yourself, we notice.
- Stability. 60+ years in business means something.
