About Bumble Bee Blinds
Choosing the complete look and feel of your window treatments can be a daunting task. That’s why we’re a bit choosy on each of our own worker bees. (see what we did there?)
If you have excellent customer service skills, attention to detail, and the ability to execute at a high level, you might be the perfect fit to join our team!
From our expert design consultants to our professional installers, Bumble Bee Blinds can be a great place to build your career if you have that entrepreneurial spirit.
Our design consultants work directly with our clients to help bring their ideas into reality. Ideal candidates possess strong communication skills and the ability to translate abstract descriptions into clear recommendations. Armed with a van-load of reference material, these creative-thinkers present our clients with several options for what will help create their dream space.
And our installers get to execute that creative vision, bringing the product to our client’s homes and working directly from the plans the designer puts in place.
