Management Trainee
About The Position
The Management Trainee role is a launchpad into leadership and employee ownership at Locke Supply, a regional distributor of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC products. The trainee learns to run a branch as a leader and an owner, taking early responsibility for team performance, operations, and culture while developing toward a Branch Manager role and beyond. Locke Supply emphasizes servant leadership: putting the team first, removing obstacles, leading through action, trust, and accountability, and helping employees succeed and grow. The role also involves building lasting relationships with local customers and contractors and supporting the communities the branches serve. Locke Supply is employee owned through its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Employees earn ownership over time at no cost, and the company describes its culture as one in which employees share in long-term success. Advancement opportunities are based on performance, with room to grow in line with individual goals.
