Partsperson
Apprenticeship Training
A Partsperson is involved in ordering, warehousing and keeping inventory control over parts and accessories for industries like the automotive, commercial transport, heavy duty and marine sectors. They are responsible for helping these parts and accessories make their way from manufacturers to consumers, documenting and tracking their progress along the way from factories to warehouses to retail outlets. A Partsperson is designated as a Partsperson under the Inter-provincial Red Seal program.
A Partsperson is often responsible for receiving goods and sorting incoming parts, supplies and materials. They maintain shipping and receiving records on the amount, kind and location of parts and supplies shipped or received and process purchases and reconcile inventories with physical counts. In the automotive parts industry, a Partsperson can typically get a job with one of two parts of the industry:
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Dealerships, which sell officially produced parts usually for one specific make of vehicle (like Ford or Toyota); or,
aftermarket industry stores (like Canadian Tire), which sell parts for many different models of cars and trucks.
