Dead River Company is seeking ambitious, high-energy graduates ready to step into a leadership track that combines operations management and sales performance.
Ideal candidates are recent graduates of a 2-year technical/trade program or a 4-year college/university program who want more than an entry-level role — they want responsibility, measurable impact, and a clear path to management.
This program is built for competitive, business-minded individuals who want to drive revenue, build strong customer relationships, and lead high-performing teams.

A fast-track path into operational and sales leadership

Direct exposure to P&L performance and revenue growth

Mentorship from Regional Directors and General Managers

Hands‑on responsibility in real business decisions

Experience in an essential, recession‑resilient industry

Performance‑based growth opportunities

As a Manager Trainee, you will rotate through core business functions while developing the skills to grow market share and improve profitability.

Learn delivery, service, logistics, and customer service operations

Understand fleet management, safety, compliance, and workflow optimization

Analyze operational metrics and identify efficiency improvements

Support customer acquisition and retention strategies

Participate in pricing, margin management, and revenue optimization

Identify cross‑selling and upselling opportunities

Assist in developing territory growth plans

Build and strengthen customer relationships

Support marketing campaigns and business development initiatives

You will learn how operational excellence and strong sales execution work together to drive market success.

This is not a passive training role — you will be expected to contribute, solve problems, and produce results.

We are looking for graduates who are:

• Competitive and results‑oriented
• Comfortable taking initiative and ownership
• Strong communicators who can influence and build relationships
• Analytical thinkers who understand numbers drive decisions
• Organized and disciplined in execution
• Motivated to lead teams and be accountable for outcomes
• Customer‑focused with a growth mindset
• Leadership experience in athletics, student organizations, military service, or previous work environments is strongly valued.

Graduate of a 2-year technical/trade program or 4-year college/university

Business, Sales, Logistics, Operations, Technical, or related majors preferred

We don’t just train managers — we develop business leaders.

This program prepares you to:

• Lead teams
• Grow revenue
• Strengthen customer loyalty
• Improve operational efficiency
• Take ownership of market results

• Competitive salary & benefits

If you come from the trades and understand the value of hard work and execution — we will teach you how to lead and grow a market.

If you come from a business background and want real operational responsibility — we will put you in the field where decisions matter.

If you are motivated by growth, accountability, and advancement, this is your opportunity to build a career where performance drives opportunity.

Apply today and begin your path toward operational and sales leadership with Dead River Company.
