About The Position

Locke Supply Co. is a leading regional distributor of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC products, serving contractors, businesses, and communities across the region. Built on a foundation of hard work, customer service, and promoting from within, Locke has grown into a strong, stable company with a clear focus on long-term success. At Locke Supply, our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is at the core of how we operate, meaning the people who drive the business forward are the same people who share in its success. We don’t develop traditional managers—we build servant leaders who put their team first, remove obstacles, lead through action, trust, and accountability, and build teams that people are proud to be part of. Locke Supply branches are deeply connected to the communities they serve, and in this role, you will build lasting relationships with local customers and contractors, support the local workforce and economy, and lead a team that takes pride in serving their community every day. This is a launchpad into leadership and ownership, where you will learn how to run a branch as both a leader and an owner, take responsibility for team performance, operations, and culture, be trusted with real responsibility early on, and develop into a Branch Manager and beyond.
