Manager - Supply chain, Sourcing and Inventory

Overview

Sterling Fleet Outfitters exists to help companies Get More Done. Time is a finite resource. Not making the most of every minute is not in our DNA, and we don’t believe it’s in our customers’ either. The question to ask now is:
What is your “More”? Is it more billable hours on a job? More time at home with your family? Whatever it means to you, we help you and our customers accomplish it.

Sterling is where electricians, plumbers, telecom contractors, and HVAC technicians come for van and truck equipment that boosts their productivity. Some have a single vehicle, while others operate large fleets — but whether big or small, they all rely on the innovative thinking and quality workmanship we provide.
