Build Your Career in Operations — No Experience Required
This is not your typical warehouse job, and it’s not a waiting room to become a field electrician. We are building a team of high-performers who want a long-term career in logistics, inventory, and operations support. If you enjoy hands-on work, problem-solving, and being the behind-the-scenes force that helps a team succeed, we will teach you everything you need to know.
Our Core Values: The L.I.G.H.T. Framework
We take our culture seriously and hold every team member to the L.I.G.H.T. framework: we Lead with Integrity, Innovate and Solve, Grow Together, High Standards Always, Think of Others First.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Logistics Apprentice, you are a critical part of keeping our jobs moving and our customers taken care of. In this role, you will:
* Manage Materials: Receive, organize, and stock materials, tools, and equipment while maintaining a clean, safe, and organized warehouse.

* Control Inventory: Assist with inventory counts and material tracking, proactively identifying missing, damaged, or low-stock items.
* Support Daily Operations: Handle returns, warranty items, and vendor coordination, while assisting with deliveries, pickups, and jobsite support as needed.
* Drive Improvement: Learn our systems and operational standards, actively working with the team to improve efficiency, accuracy, and organization.
What Makes This Role Different
* Logistics is the Backbone: At Chesapeake Electric, logistics is not “just the warehouse.” When materials are organized and jobs are prepared correctly, the entire company performs better. You are vital to our daily operational excellence.
* Career Launchpad: No experience required—we invest heavily in your professional development to teach you service business operations, process improvement, and vendor coordination.
* Clear Focus: We want to be upfront: this role is designed for someone who sees logistics as a career path. It is not the right fit if your main goal is to become a field electrician as quickly as possible.
