Chicago, United States XTRA Lease - A Berkshire Hathaway Company Full time

_**Hired - Trained - Promoted**_

**XTRA Lease** is the leader in the semi-trailer rental industry in North America. We’re not truckers, but we’re proud to support the transportation industry. For more than 50 years, our team has focused on providing “the box” to trucking companies that supply manufacturing plants, grocery stores, and distribution centers with the products used in daily life. And as a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, we have the financial backing to support our customers, and give our employees a level of stability that’s hard to beat.

We are currently seeking talented customer service leaders who are open to a mobile career path and ready to build their skillset as a business manager through our **Operations Management Trainee** program.

**What makes our Operations Management Trainee position unique?**
- Growth Opportunity

You don't need to be a trailer expert when you start
- we'll teach you
- Not a typical "desk job"- while some of your duties are administrative, you will also spend time outdoors and in our service lot inspecting trailers and communicating with customers.
- Consistent Monday-Friday schedule and emphasis on work-life balance (13 days of PTO and 12 company holidays)
- Opportunity to earn commission in addition to base rate

- Serving customers like PepsiCo and FedEx when they need trailers, helping to determine their equipment needs, and explaining all of our trailer-rental options.
- Inspecting trailers using a hand-held device which includes checking for damage or equipment problems inside and underneath the trailer.
- Managing customer accounts including helping with credit and collections.
- Verifying customer insurance coverage.
- Assigning repair work to vendors and XTRA Lease trailer mechanics.
- Using technology to perform inventories, manage equipment, and other operational tasks.
- Completing training assignments to prepare you for your next role as an Operations Manager, in charge of customer service and employee supervision at your own rental branch.
- Occasional paid travel to include:

- Weeklong trip to St. Louis MO as part of our semiannual New Employee Orientation, complete with teambuilding activities and seminars covering XTRA's role in the supply chain.
- At least one visit to another of our nationwide rental branches for cross-training and performance evaluation opportunity.

**Job Requirements**
- **Bachelor's degree** or equivalent experience required
- **1-2 years of customer service experience**:

- **Willing to relocate** upon promotion into an Operations Manager role (once fully trained, usually between 1-3 years of hire. Relocation assistance is provided as most of our Managers are promoted out-of-state to one of our other 46 nationwide branch locations.)
- Leadership or supervisory experience preferred.

**Skills you'll need to succeed at XTRA Lease**:

- Strong analytical and decision-making skills.
- Strong organization skills; including the ability to multitask and prioritize work.
- Strong customer service skills; including the ability to handle customer complaints and resolve issues to ensure a satisfactory resolution.
- Ability to facilitate difficult conversations through performance discussions with vendors.
- Management and leadership qualities; including ability to train, and develop skills of lower level employees.
- Ability to recognize opportunities for process improvement and recommend possible solutions.
