Description

Ascend’s delivery drivers bring cannabis orders from our licensed New Jersey stores directly to customers’ doors. You’re the one person a delivery customer meets in person, so this role comes down to two things: driving safely and delivering an outstanding customer experience. Drivers work out of a store location, follow assigned delivery routes using our routing app, and are supported by a dedicated dispatch team.

Depending on the store, this is either a dedicated full-time driving role or a combined driver/store associate role scheduled around delivery demand.

• Follow assigned delivery routes and complete orders within the promised time window
• Pick, pack, and verify orders against the manifest before leaving the store
• Check valid government-issued  confirm legal age on every delivery
• Keep orders secured in the vehicle safe and follow cash-handling procedures
• Complete a vehicle walk-around before each shift and report any damage or issues
• Greet customers in uniform, handle every delivery with courtesy and discretion, and offer accessories and reorder information
• Report delays, order problems, accidents, or safety concerns to dispatch right away
• Complete end-of-day returns and reconciliation
• Help onboard new drivers and support new delivery locations when needed

Nothing we deliver is worth an accident. Drivers are expected to drive defensively and legally, wear a seat belt, obey speed limits, and never use a handheld phone while driving. Company vehicles are equipped with telematics, and driving coaching is part of the job. If a delivery situation ever feels unsafe, you leave and contact dispatch — no exceptions.

• Company vehicle with safe, dashcam, GPS, E-ZPass, fuel card, and emergency kit
• Branded uniform, badge, and delivery bags
• Paid onboarding and training in safety, compliance, and customer service
• Dispatch support and a dedicated driver-safety line during every shift
