Role Overview

The Frito-Lay Kelowna 2026 Summer Student Route Sales Representative position in West Kelowna, British Columbia, is your gateway to a dynamic career at PepsiCo. This full-time summer role, running from May to September, offers hands-on experience in sales, merchandising, and route delivery. Ideal for college or university students, you'll build a growing snack foods business by serving retail customers at grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores.

Compensation ranges from $17K to $20K, with opportunities to boost earnings through top performance and a shot at the $1500 Top Summer RSR Award bonus.

Why This Role Stands Out

Key Responsibilities

• Driving and delivering: Operate a route sales truck for loading/unloading or use your personal vehicle along established routes to serve assigned retail stores.
• Selling and ordering: Execute national/local promotions, build eye-catching displays, order inventory to match customer demand, and maintain strong communication with store managers.

These tasks demand organizational prowess, physical strength (lifting up to 50 pounds), and the ability to stay motivated independently while meeting targets.
