Job Description
As a Strategic Development Program (SDP) Trainee, you won’t just learn the business — you’ll be preparing to lead it. This immersive, multi-phase program is designed to give you a 360° view of EMCO’s Fire Protection division and the tools to step into a future leadership role.
From the ground up, you’ll rotate through key areas of our business, gaining hands-on experience and mentorship in logistics, operations, sales, and account management. By the end of the program, you’ll be ready to take ownership of your career path — whether that means managing a Profit Centre, leading a sales team, or driving operations strategy.
What You’ll Experience
Phase 1 – Warehouse & Logistics
Master our products, supply chain, and customer fulfillment process
Build an understanding of sales support and the importance of operational excellence
Phase 2 – Operations & Business Fundamentals
Engage in customer service, order management, counter sales, and inventory control
Learn pricing strategies, credit management, and financial reporting essentials
Phase 3 – Inside Sales & Project Management
Support customers with product and service needs
Take ownership of projects, from quoting through to delivery, ensuring timelines and budgets are met
Phase 4 – Outside Sales & Account Management
Identify new business opportunities and grow customer relationships
Learn to sell strategically, negotiate effectively, and build strong partnerships with vendors and contractors
Phase 5 – Career Path Acceleration
Combine your training, skills, and experience to determine your ideal role within EMCO
Launch into a career track with opportunities in leadership, operations, or sales management
This program is more than a training opportunity — it’s the foundation for a long-term career in an industry that protects lives and shapes skylines.
Qualifications
What You Bring
Post-secondary education (College or University degree) or equivalent combination of education and experience
A growth mindset — eager to learn, adapt, and continuously improve
Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build meaningful relationships with customers, vendors, and teammates
Problem-solving and critical thinking abilities, with a drive to find solutions and deliver results
