Resale & Value Recovery Specialist
505 Ventures | Richmond, BC

As a Resale & Value Recovery Specialist at 505 Ventures, you will identify, evaluate, and recover valuable merchandise from donation collections, estate cleanouts, and junk removal jobs. This full-time role combines hands‑on sorting, on‑site assessments, staff training, online resale, and specialty buyer order preparation, with regular contact with customers, buyers, and partners.
