Branch Operations Manager I

Branch Operations Manager I

Help shape the future of one of Northern California's strongest independents.

At Alameda Electrical Distributors, we're not just another distributor — we're a third generation, independently owned company built in Northern California for Northern California. We've grown into a strong regional leader across Northern and Central California, ranked among the Top 50 in our industry nationwide — without losing the local spirit that got us here. About Us: Two companies, one focus – we are ALCAL – comprised of Alameda Electrical Distributors and California Service Tool. With 15 locations and counting, we serve commercial, industrial, and residential contractors, facility managers, and OEMs across Northern, Central California and Nevada. Our specialties include electrical supplies, gear and lighting project management, industrial automation and controls, tools, safety, and specified products. We're not owned by a billion-dollar corporation. We're not driven by Wall Street. Here, your voice matters. If it makes sense, we do it. Here, you're not a number. You have the power to directly impact our business, our people, and our clients. Our mission is simple but bold: Be our clients' most trusted partner, driving their success in the communities we serve.
