Role Overview

The Frito-Lay Duncan 2026 Summer Route Sales Representative position in Saanichton, British Columbia, offers an exhilarating entry into the fast-paced world of consumer goods sales. This full-time summer role, running from May to September, is perfect for college or university students seeking hands-on experience. As a Route Sales Rep, you'll build a growing snack foods business by selling and delivering Frito-Lay products to retail customers including grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores. Expect 40+ hours per week with varying shifts, starting as early as 5 am, including weekends. Compensation ranges from $17K to $20K for the season, with opportunities to boost earnings through top performance and win a $1500 bonus as our Top Summer RSR.

Key Responsibilities

In this dynamic role, you'll wear multiple hats to ensure our products shine on shelves and satisfy customer cravings. Primary duties include merchandising store shelving with Frito-Lay favorites, rotating inventory for freshness, and handling cardboard carton returns while keeping racks spotless. You'll drive a route sales truck—loading, unloading, and delivering products—or use your personal vehicle along established routes. Selling is key: execute national and local promotions, build eye-catching displays, order inventory to match demand, and maintain frequent communication with store managers to drive sales and meet targets. This role demands physical stamina, as you'll lift approximately 50 pounds and stay on your feet all day, thriving as an independent worker with minimal supervision.

Daily Operations

Each day brings new challenges and rewards. Start early, load your truck, and hit the route to service your assigned stores. Organize shelves, stock fresh products, and engage managers to upsell promotions. Problem-solve on the fly, juggle priorities, and track performance to hit goals.

Qualifications & Requirements

To succeed, you need full-time availability from May to September, a valid full G or Class 5 driver's license with a clean record, and your own vehicle or daily access. Preference goes to those enrolled in a college or university program. Be physically active and strong enough to lift 50 pounds and remain on your feet throughout shifts. Strong organizational skills, the ability to handle multiple priorities, problem-solve, and stay motivated independently are essential. Early mornings and weekend availability are non-negotiable in this high-energy environment.

Benefits & Perks

PepsiCo values its summer talent. Gain invaluable exposure to our Co-op and New Grad programs, paving the way for future career opportunities. Work in a dynamic, inclusive culture that encourages you to bring your whole self. Compete for the prestigious Top Summer RSR Award with a $1500 cash bonus. Grow your earnings based on performance metrics. Join a global team of innovators where your contributions matter, all while enjoying the pride of delivering products loved worldwide.

Career Growth

This summer role is more than a job—it's a launchpad. Excel here, and you'll position yourself for PepsiCo's competitive Co-op or New Grad programs.
