About this vacancy

What your day looks like

You notice a customer hesitating at the sunglasses display. “What are you looking for?” you ask. Together, you try on different styles from brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley. You explain how Crizal-coated lenses help reduce reflections and prevent scratches. And then it happens: she puts on a pair and her face lights up. “Yes, this one is perfect!” she says enthusiastically.

From day one, an experienced colleague teaches you how to advise customers, adjust frames perfectly, and determine which lenses offer the best vision. You’ll get plenty of time to learn, and become more independent every week.

During your workday, you will:

✔️ Help customers choose frames, sunglasses, and lenses from top brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Vogue
✔️ Adjust glasses and carry out small repairs
✔️ Process orders and keep the store organized
✔️ Keep the store neat together with your team

After a few weeks, you’ll confidently assist customers and know exactly how to ensure they leave the store happy!

No optics experience? No problem!

At Pearle, you learn everything on the job. From day one, you’ll have an experienced colleague as your mentor who guides you step by step through the world of eyewear and eye care.

You’ll take internal training sessions on lens options and frame advice. Want to grow further? Sign up for our company classes and earn your MBO level 4 Optician diploma within 2.5 years — fully paid by Pearle!
