Chesapeake Electric, named one of America’s Fastest Growing Private Companies by Inc. 5000, has proudly served our community since 2014. Owned and operated by a Master Electrician, we’ve built a culture where autonomy, accountability, and collaboration fuel both personal growth and company success. Here, hard work is rewarded, teamwork is celebrated, and your career potential is unlimited.
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.
* Ensure Job Readiness: Stage materials for upcoming jobs, support truck restocking, and maintain basic fleet readiness so our technicians can perform at their best.
* 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.
