We believe that good business starts with skilled and satisfied employees, and we are looking to invest in the right person to shape into a qualified and experienced manager who will advance their career as a part of the Sharp Family business.

What is a “Manager in Training”?

We are looking for an instinctive team-leader who is interested in boosting their career by gaining hands on experience with a well-established and continually growing company.

At Sharp, we believe that our employees are our greatest asset, so we want to help our Managers be the most equipped as possible to operate business smoothly and efficiently on a daily basis.
