Branch Associate

We are looking for more than just an employee; we are looking for employee owners! As a Branch Associate at our 100% employee-owned company, you aren't just filling orders, you are building your own wealth while supporting the local trade community. We hire for character first, looking for individuals who take pride in their work, treat every customer like a partner, and act with integrity.

The Cornerstones of Our Team:

• Character: You are honest, dependable, and do the right thing even when no one is watching.
• Service: You have a "customer-first" heart, helping our communities and customers with the products they need.
• Ownership: You think long-term, knowing your hard work builds equity in a company where you are a beneficial shareholder.

Key Responsibilities:

• Exceptional Customer Service: Greet every customer with a friendly, professional attitude. Act as a consultant, providing product recommendations and cost-effective solutions for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC projects.
• Operational Integrity: Meticulously track inventory and manage orders with 100% accuracy. You understand that being a good steward of our stock directly impacts our shared profitability.
• Branch Pride: Maintain a clean, organized, professional branch and warehouse. You take initiative to improve the branch because it is your branch.
• Collaborative Success: Work as a cohesive team to meet branch profit goals. Support your fellow associates by assisting with deliveries, shipping, and receiving as needed.

• Work-Life Balance: We offer competitive paid time off, consistent daytime hours, and are closed on Sundays, so you can enjoy life outside of work.

Preferred Qualifications:

• A "mechanically minded" individual with a desire to learn the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to building long-term customer relationships.
• A high school diploma or GED and the ability to pass a DOT (Department of Transportation) physical and Drug test.
