General Manager in Training

Groundworks is seeking a talented General Manager to add to our Bench across our field operations!

The General Manager in Training will learn the ropes to oversee and coordinate the operation of one Groundworks-affiliated branch location in accordance with the standards of the organization. The General Manager in Training will be learning how to manage their direct reports to guide all office, sales and production activities, ensuring the execution of the organizational strategy to achieve maximum customer satisfaction, sales and profitability.

The GMT operates first in a training capacity to understand the Groundworks business model and organizational drivers. During training the GMT may travel throughout the region in which they are assigned to further their development, while waiting to assume the role of General Manager in a branch location.
