Job Description

POSITION SUMMARY

Stored Energy Holdings – through its legacy companies Northeast Battery, Tri-State Battery, Master Battery and Battery Men – has been in business for nearly forty years, supporting our customers and their businesses through distribution warehouses across the northeastern quadrant of the US. We provide batteries and stored energy solutions to customers in support of critical infrastructure, emergency services and first responders, public transportation, automotive and commercial trucking fleets, industrial facilities and hospitals, and remote backup power needs. We also help keep everyone moving so they can enjoy their valuable free time, powering golf carts and other electric vehicles, boats and RV’s, motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATV’s, and anything else you can think of that moves! And we rely on our GREAT sales and service drivers to provide the BEST possible experience for our customers when we deliver their batteries and other products and pick up their cores.

We are growing rapidly, and we are seeking experienced Class B Route Sales/Service Drivers. Our Sales/Service Drivers represent our company and serve our customers safely and professionally, reporting to the Warehouse Manager and the Fleet Operations Manager.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

Driving and Warehouse

• You are responsible for delivering our product to customers and retrieving cores or other product from our customers to return to our distribution warehouse

• You will be proactive in communicating with customers, always asking for cores, always asking what else you/we can do for them before moving on to the next delivery.
• You will take every opportunity during customer deliveries to observe product the customer may have on hand from other suppliers and engage with customers to ascertain whether we may be able to supply them.
• In the course of your daily business, you’ll see opportunities for new business and communicate leads to the sales team
• You will maintain a clean and neat appearance, and be professional and courteous at all times
• Our customers’ success depends on your follow up to what you see. You will communicate to the sales and warehouse management teams when you see opportunities for us to be a better partner with our customers.
