Welcome to
Turtle — one of the nation’s largest independent electrical and industrial distributors, delivering
smart, sustainable solutions across automation, electrification, and infrastructure.

As the world rapidly shifts toward electrification and energy transformation, electrical distributors like Turtle are playing a vital role in modernizing the grid,
supporting EV adoption, and enabling sustainable infrastructure projects. Our work directly supports
cleaner cities, more efficient buildings, and greener industries — and our Sales Development Program puts you at the center of it all.

This
12–18-month, full-time, paid program equips you with the technical knowledge, real-world experience, and hands‑on training to build a long‑term, impactful career in sales. You’ll be immersed in the front lines of sustainability-focused growth — learning how to help customers modernize, save energy, and meet evolving regulatory and environmental goals.

Designed as a launchpad for your future, the program is intended to lead to full‑time placement within our sales organization at Turtle —
