Job description
Bessemer Management Overview:
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Bessemer Management Company has more than 85 years of experience in the trucking, logistics and equipment leasing industries. Our family of companies is primarily comprised of a network of 2,400 trucks operated by independent contractors hauling various types of commodities.
We’re growing and currently have a need for a Management Trainee within our flatbed division under Kaplan Trucking. Rather than trying to find applicants that are just looking for a job, we’re more interested in finding the right individual who is looking for a career and that fits our culture.
The Management Trainee opportunity is in Kaplan’s Central Operations Department and is considered a Management Trainee position. As one could imagine, working in operations involves an array of duties and responsibilities. Instead of describing the position, below is a list of must-haves from any candidate we would consider.
Qualifications and traits for Management Trainee candidates:
- Recent college graduates with a bachelor’s degree and ideally 1-2 years of business experience.
- Enjoy interacting and assisting others. This includes co-workers, other managers/supervisors, customers, terminals/agents, and owner-operators (truck drivers).
- Take pride in and ownership of your work. You’re willing to “roll up your sleeves” to get the job done and would say you have a strong work ethic.
- Strong communicator, whether in-person, on the phone, or using email. Understand the importance of recognizing tone on phone calls/in email and how to appropriately respond, especially in situations where cultural/international differences are prevalent.
- This Management Trainee candidate should be a self-driven, self-starter who isn’t afraid of working in a fast-paced, rapidly-evolving environment.
- Have a knack for problem-solving and creative thinking. You enjoy and are good at brainstorming to come up with “outside the box,” ethical, and professional solutions to problems and win-win compromises.
- Value follow-up and believe it’s important to make sure that everyone around you has the information they need so nothing “falls through the cracks.”
- Enjoy learning and/or would describe yourself as a “lifelong learner.” You’re curious to learn about other departments and business functions beyond what you do on a daily basis to help you “connect the dots” in your role.
- Would describe yourself as organized (or more organized) than most other people you know.
- Can manage priorities with direction and guidance. When priorities shift or an emergent situation arises, you can exhibit “grace under pressure.”
- Can multi-task without losing track of details.
- Generally, the Management Trainee candidate must have a positive attitude and friendly demeanor that allows him or her to cultivate professional working relationships.
