Manager Trainee

Build a Career. Serve Your Team. Strengthen Your Community. Own the Outcome.

You've built experience. You've led people. You know how to drive results.

Now ask yourself: Are you in a role that's building your future—or just maintaining your present?

At Locke Supply, we develop leaders who serve others, build strong teams, impact their communities, and think like owners—because they are.

Who Is Locke Supply

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.

What sets us apart is simple: we're employee owned.

That means the people who drive the business forward are the same people who share in its success.

Ownership Isn't a Buzzword Here

At Locke Supply, our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is at the core of how we operate.

• You earn ownership over time at no cost to you
• Your work contributes to long-term value you share in
• You're part of a company that operates with an owner's mindset
• Success isn't just measured, it's shared

Most companies give you a job. We give you the opportunity to build something that grows with you.

Leadership That Starts With Service

We don't develop traditional managers—we build servant leaders.

That means you will:

• Put your team first and help them succeed
• Remove obstacles so others can perform at a higher level
• Lead through action, trust, and accountability
• Build teams that people are proud to be part of

Your success is measured by how well your team performs and grows.

Rooted in Community

Locke Supply branches are deeply connected to the communities they serve.

In this role, you'll:

• Build lasting relationships with local customers and contractors
• Support the local workforce and economy
• Lead a team that takes pride in serving their community every day

You're not just managing a branch—you're helping support something bigger.

What This Role Really Is

This is a launchpad into leadership and ownership.

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
• Develop into a Branch Manager and beyond

Who We're Looking For

This role is built for individuals who bring:

• Industry experience (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or distribution), or
• Leadership experience (supervisor, team lead, management), or
• Sales experience (relationship-driven, results-focused)

And more importantly:

• You take ownership naturally
• You lead by serving others
• You're ready to grow beyond your current role

Why People Choose Locke Supply

If you're ready to:

• Lead with purpose

• Build a career with real ownership
• Explore bigger opportunities as they open

This is your next step.
