Job Description
What You’ll Do
As a Management Trainee, you’ll rotate through a structured, four-phase program designed to give you full visibility into how a successful business operates — from supply chain and operations to sales, leadership, and strategy.

You won’t just observe — you’ll own projects, manage accounts, build customer relationships, and make real business decisions, all with the guidance of experienced leaders across the country.

The Program: Learn the Business From the Inside Out
Phase 1: Warehouse and Customer Service (12 Months)
Get hands-on with the backbone of the business.

Shipping, receiving, and inventory management

Product knowledge and vendor coordination

Customer service and counter sales

Pricing, credit, financial statements, and logistics

Learn how products move from supplier to customer

Phase 2:



Customer Relationships & Procurement (12 Months)
Step into problem-solving and project support.

Build strong customer and vendor relationships

Manage larger projects and complex orders

Read blueprints and develop material quotes

Deliver high-impact, solutions-focused service

Phase 3: Account Management and Proactive Sales (15–18 Months)

Identify and win new business opportunities

Phase 4: Leadership & Operations (3 Months)
Prepare to run the show.

After completing the program, you’ll be ready to step into a Profit Centre Manager role — running your own location like a business owner.

You’ll be responsible for:

Growing sales, profitability, and market share

Hiring, training, coaching, and leading a high-performing team

Analyzing financials and making strategic decisions
