Launch your career where leadership is earned in the field.
We are seeking ambitious, high-potential graduates who are ready to step beyond the classroom and into real-world impact. Our comprehensive, multi-disciplinary Leadership Development Program is designed to accelerate your growth through hands-on experience across multiple roles within our organization.
From day one, you will work alongside experienced professionals, delivering turnkey, highly technical field services to complex industrial operations. This is not a desk-bound training program. It is immersive, fast-paced, and field-driven, with significant travel and direct exposure to projects that demand precision, accountability, and leadership.
You will rotate through key business functions, gain operational and commercial insight, and develop the technical and managerial skills required to lead in high-performance environments. We invest heavily in your development by providing mentorship, real responsibility, and opportunities to solve meaningful challenges early in your career.
Upon completion of the program, typically, a 24-month adventure across multiple roles, with varying responsibilities at each stage, you will not be placed into a predefined role. Instead, you will have the opportunity to pursue the position that best aligns with your strengths, interests, and long-term goals across the organization.
If you are ready to build resilience, expand your capabilities, and lead with confidence, not someday, but now, we invite you to take the first step.
Your career starts in the field. Your leadership future starts here.
One Foundation.
Two Leadership Paths.
No Shortcuts.
Most graduates choose one lane: technical execution or business leadership. At Frontline, you will master both before you choose.
This is not a passive rotational program. This is a hands-on, field-driven leadership development platform built for ambitious engineering, industrial, construction, operations, and business-minded technical graduates who want responsibility early, credibility fast, and a clear path to long-term impact.
You will begin in the field, working on critical systems inside refineries, power plants, manufacturing facilities, military installations, and other mission-critical industrial and infrastructure environments across the United States.
You will earn your technical credibility the only way it can be earned: by doing the work.
From there, you will develop both operational leadership capability and commercial business acumen. After full exposure to project execution and client-facing account development, you will determine, together with senior leadership, where your strengths are best aligned for long-term success.
There are no shortcuts. Every leader here understands both sides of the business.

Program Phases (24 Months)
Field Technician
You will work directly on active job sites performing turnkey, highly technical field services on critical equipment and infrastructure systems.
This includes exposure to:
• High-velocity oil flushing of systems
• Chemical cleaning and system decontamination
• Pressure testing and system integrity verification
• Industrial piping and fluid systems purification and maintenance
• Heat transfer equipment and storage systems cleaning
• In-depth experience with technical process design and service implementation for rotating, reciprocating, and stationary process equipment
• Outage and turnaround execution
• Jobsite safety leadership
This phase is demanding. It is physical. It requires travel and long shifts during outages and mission-critical projects. It is also where you build the credibility that defines your leadership potential. When you eventually lead a crew or sit across from a plant manager, refinery superintendent, or military facility operator, you will speak from experience, not theory.
Technical Specialist
After demonstrating technical competence and work ethic in the field, you transition into expanded responsibility. During this phase, you rotate through both core leadership disciplines.
Project Execution Exposure:
• Build project schedules
• Coordinate manpower, equipment, and logistics
• Review drawings and work procedures
• Track costs and performance metrics
• Lead portions of jobs in the field
• Interface directly with customers during execution
• Support safety, compliance, and regulatory oversight
• Commercial and Account Exposure
• Participate in client meetings and technical walkdowns
• Support proposal development and estimating
• Identify expansion opportunities within industrial and military accounts
• Assist in scope development and solution positioning
• Learn account strategy and long-term relationship management
• Work alongside Project Managers and Account Managers in active coordination
You will see firsthand how execution and business strategy are inseparable. This is intentional. Our Project Managers understand revenue and client impact. Our Account Managers understand field execution and operational realities. That dual competency defines our leadership culture.
Junior Manager
After full immersion in both operational and commercial functions, you and senior leadership determine long-term alignment based on strengths, performance, and career goals.
Neither path is more important. They are complementary leadership roles that operate in partnership.
Enterprise & Functional Leadership Exposure:
TRACK 1 - PROJECT MANAGER
Operations & Execution Leadership
TRACK 2 - ACCOUNT MANAGER
Customer & Strategic Growth Leadership
This is a travel-intensive opportunity, particularly in the early phases.
Approximately three weeks per month during the field phase
Work inside refineries, power plants, manufacturing facilities, steel mills, marine and aerospace operations, and military installations
Long shifts during outages and mission-critical operations
Schedule driven by project demand
If you are looking for a stationary office role, this is not the right fit. If you want accelerated growth, real responsibility, and exposure to mission-critical systems across multiple technical markets, this is where you start.
Minimum Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications
Starting salary: $80,000/year
Performance-based bonuses
$50/day per diem while traveling
Fully paid travel expenses + paid travel time
Company Credit Card
401(k) with match
Company-paid certifications and professional development
Comprehensive Health benefits
Annual Vacation Time: 1-3 Months on Average (Company Work Load Dependent and Can Be Variable)
Within 24 months, you may have:
Worked across industrial, energy, infrastructure, and military markets nationwide
Led crews on mission-critical projects
Managed budgets and schedules
Participated in proposal development and account strategy
Built relationships with plant managers, operations leaders, and military stakeholders
Developed both operational leadership and commercial business acumen
Most graduates wait years to earn that level of responsibility. Here, you earn it early.
Mobilize the mission.
