Raleigh - Leader in Training

Budd Group•Raleigh, NC

About The Position

To turn your degree into real-world leadership through immersive, 360-degree business training. At The Budd Group, we believe the best leaders are built from the ground up. Our Leader in Training (LIT) program is a prestigious, one-year "business boot camp" designed exclusively for recent college graduates who want to see every facet of how a multi-service industry leader operates. This isn't your average entry-level job. You’ll rotate through every heartbeat of our company—from the front lines to the executive suite. Hands-On Foundations: You’ll start where the magic happens. You’ll prune, paint, mow, and master janitorial services. You’ll learn the grit it takes to do the job so that one day, you can lead the people who do it. The Business Brain: You’ll dive into the "Big Three"—HR (finding and coaching talent), Accounting (managing the bottom line), and Sales (winning new partnerships through prospecting and proposals). Management Mastery: By the end of the year, you’ll be scheduling crews, auditing quality, and mastering retention strategies. Each quarter, you’ll have clear, measurable learning objectives tracked in our system. You won’t be guessing if you’re doing a good job—you’ll see your growth in real-time. Upon successful completion of the 12-month program in May, our goal is to transition you into a permanent management or specialty role within The Budd Group family.
