About Graybar
Employee-owned since 1929, Graybar sells through its branches, and most sales titles name the market the seller works: industrial plants, electrical contractors, comm/data contractors (cabling, networking and security), wireline, wireless and utility customers building out 5G, federal and other government buyers, and hyperscale and cloud data centers. A branch's selling runs in tiers: counter reps serve walk-in contractors and will-call orders, inside sales representatives work accounts from the branch with little travel, outside reps own a territory and a gross margin budget and drive it in their own car, and account managers and strategic account managers carry key and corporate accounts. Industrial automation has a team of its own (17 openings): account managers who sell PLCs, drives, motor control and pneumatics into aerospace, entertainment, government and water treatment accounts, sales engineers who specify products and support them after the sale, business development managers, and district automation sales managers who run the Schneider Electric distributor program. The largest block is the sales trainee program, 52 of its 176 sales openings (about three in ten), which rotates new hires through sales, logistics and customer service for six to 12 months before a sales seat, with relocation at the end for the May 2027 graduate intake. Outside reps of every level hold 56 openings, inside sales representatives 22, account and strategic account managers 16 and counter reps 11, and the rest are business development managers (lighting, switchgear, automation), sales engineers, seven sales leaders from a branch manager to a data center sales director, and three sales enablement, contract and training roles. Every opening is in the US, spread over close to 100 cities, with Denver (seven), Indianapolis (five) and Minneapolis, Norcross, Kansas City and the Chesterfield, Missouri head office (four each) the busiest.
