Summit Development Program

Job Description

We’re really looking for three things – an unwavering commitment to our customers
, an unstoppable drive to exceed expectations and a relentless pursuit of excellence at every level. Due to unprecedented growth and leadership opportunities, we are looking to hire more driven, high‑potential associates than ever before. Our Summit Development Program offers you the opportunity to start a career in a $110 billion, cutting‑edge industry built on technical innovation.

In an accelerated career path like our Development Program the only barrier to your career advancement and professional development is you! Your job will be to learn about Summit, our industry, and our customers. We’ll give you all the tools you need to succeed in your career in technical sales, logistics, or operations. You’ll build a foundation over 18 months that will prepare you for a dozen career paths across the company.

You’ll start your hands‑on training in logistics and warehousing to build a base knowledge needed for a successful sales or operations career.

The next phase of training will take you to our sales counter where you will deepen your product knowledge and hone your sales skills by providing exceptional service.

The last stop in your training will be on our inside sales team where you’ll work with customers and suppliers to ensure the right material arrives at the right time. You’ll expand your grasp of Summit’s product offerings and business while mastering Summit’s sales processes and systems.

Along the way, you’ll complete a rigorous training schedule that will equip you with a knowledge of Summit’s products, systems, processes, suppliers, and customers. You’ll connect with a small cohort of other program participants across the business to support one another and complete group projects that will deliver value to Summit and its customers.

Associates in the Sales or Operations Development Program who have shown an ability to deliver on Summit’s commitment to integrity, respect for others, continuous improvement and exceptional customer service will build a foundation to prepare them for leadership roles in inside sales, outside sales, operations and management.

Don’t cut corners with your career! Choose a company known for thorough and demanding technical sales and operations training, because Summit is as invested in your success as you are. Apply today!

We’re committed to hiring the best and ensuring that we’re the right fit for you as much as you’re the right fit for Summit. Our commitment to excellence means we have a robust hiring process which includes a couple of online assessments and a series of interviews, both over the phone and in person. Once we’ve decided you’re the right person we’ll make you an offer and have you start on our background check and take a drug screen.

We're more interested in who you are than your experience. An insatiable desire to learn and strong technical curiosity is required along with a work ethic that never quits until the job is done. We want problem solvers who are always looking to find ways to provide value to our customers.

We love hiring recent college grads who are eager to build a career and a background in distribution, supply chain, and business is a plus but some of our best associates have degrees that don’t have anything to do with our business but share the same passion to serve customers. We also love to hire veterans and deeply appreciate your commitment to our country.
