Sales & Leadership Trainee (ALPS)

U.S. Electrical Services is searching for trainees to join our Accelerated Leadership Preparation Program (ALPS)! This exciting rotational, leadership training program is available in Georgia and will include assignments that will vary throughout our regional branches and central distribution centers.

As an ALPS Trainee, you'll complete an intensive, 18 - 20 month Branch Management program that consists of up to seven distinct phases: Warehouse, Counter Sales, Inside Sales, Project Management, Process Improvement, Outside Sales, Back Office and Branch Operations.

During the first 12 months, the program consists of a variety of prerequisite subjects. At the 12-month mark, you'll work with your manager to specialize in preparing for either a branch management or a sales career track.

During the "hands-on" training, you'll have on-line training with topics that include electrical distributor operations, electricity, electrical products, customer service, communications, ethics, finance, leadership and personal development. You'll also receive training on our ERP system and on-site manufacturing factory training.

Throughout the training program, and beyond, you'll be mentored by our industry professionals. These experienced employees are a great source of support and industry knowledge. During training your mentor will work with you to establish training tasks and goals. These will be designed to help you master new skills and knowledge; and we'll track your achievements throughout the program.
