Story . . .
Our story is written by people who put the work in daily to make us the electrical distribution powerhouse we are today. Be a part of the story. Be a part of the team.
Consolidated Electrical Distributors thrives when we have a team of motivated, enthusiastic individuals working at each of our locations and ensuring quality service at every level, and we’re always looking for more to join the team. Opportunity is all around you.
CED is one of the largest electrical solutions distributors and product suppliers in the country, specializing in residential, commercial, industrial and solar projects. By training and bringing in talented, energetic people, we’re able to bring industry professionals together and facilitate the best electrical solutions for our customers, who are powering your homes, buildings and manufacturing the things you use every day. Our commitment to quality has made us one of the nation’s largest distributors of electrical products and services.
With over 750 locations nationwide serving customers in over 40 states, CED is the largest privately owned electrical wholesale distributor in a $115 billion industry. We blend the clout of a large company with the opportunity of a small one. Our businesses have the freedom to operate as independent companies, and our Managers truly run the business and drive their team’s success. That local touch is why we put power directly into the hands of managers at each of our locations across the country, giving them the chance to make decisions best aligned with their city, clientele and unique circumstances. Although each location operates like a small business, CED supports each of our locations with the resources, funding and tools to help them grow—they all have different names and serve different areas, but every location’s success is important to the future of CED. With an overarching culture based in respect for our people, service, integrity, and reliability, CED is a financially sound, stable company with great opportunity for career growth.
Everything we do at CED starts with local – local control and decision-making and a deep commitment to the local communities where our people live and work. Our locations are called Profit Centers and not branches, reflecting this independence. Our teammates have the opportunity to take home a share of the profits made in their Profit Center. Our decentralized culture gives each Profit Center Manager the same high degree of responsibility, autonomy, and accountability as an owner.
CED hires and elevates good character, which drives service and integrity at all levels of the company. CED supports our entire workforce through benefits, mental health support, and training. We set our employees up for success. The company will continue to grow and prosper because our fundamental business philosophy works: emphasis on entrepreneurial spirit, expert knowledge, strong incentives for our teammates, and devotion to CED’s proven business principles.
