Job description

JM Test Systems is a technical services company headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, providing test equipment sales, calibration, and service to customers across the United States and Canada. We're growing through both expansion and acquisition, and we're building the leadership bench to match.

Job Summary - The Opportunity

Want to learn how a business really works by helping run one? Our Leadership Development Program is built for graduating students who want real responsibility early, and a clear path to leadership.

In this role, you will be deployed to the places across JM Test Systems where the business needs you most: a division working through a performance challenge, an acquisition being integrated, or a new service model being built. You'll start by supporting the work and quickly take on ownership. Reporting to our VP of Corporate Development & Strategy, the program is designed to move you into a permanent role with real ownership within 12 to 18 months, such as division, rental, or lab management, or a corporate manager role in areas like analytics, continuous improvement, FP&A, or supply chain. Placement depends on performance, readiness, and available opportunities.

You'll thrive here if you're curious, analytical, comfortable with ambiguity, and would rather learn a business from the floor up than from a conference room. No calibration background is needed. We'll teach you the technical side. This role is based in Baton Rouge, and relocation is required.

Key Responsibilities & Outcomes

• Go where you're needed. Deploy to the division, function, or initiative with the greatest need, supporting and then leading defined pieces of the work.
• Solve real problems. Learn unfamiliar operations quickly, gather the data, find root causes, and turn your findings into plans people can act on.
• Drive strategic initiatives. Support acquisition integrations, system implementations, new locations, and new service models, taking on more ownership as you're ready.
• Earn trust on the front line. Build relationships and credibility with technicians, supervisors, and functional partners.
• Make change stick. Hand off sustainable ownership to the business so improvements last after your assignment ends.
• Share your work with leaders. Present progress, findings, and recommendations to senior leadership, and grow through regular development and readiness reviews.

What You Bring

• Required: Bachelor's degree, graduating by spring or summer 2027.
• Required: Evidence of leadership and ownership. Campus leadership, internships, athletics, military service, or working through school all count.
• Required: Strong analytical and quantitative skills.
• Required: Real curiosity about how businesses operate, and comfort with ambiguity and changing priorities.
• Required: Must relocate to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and be willing to travel extensively.
• Preferred: Coursework, internships, or experience in business, engineering, supply chain, finance, or operations, or exposure to technical, industrial, or field-service environments.

Travel & Relocation

Travel is a defining part of this role. Please be prepared for:

• Required relocation to the Baton Rouge area
• Frequent travel to JM Test Systems locations and customer sites, including multi-week and occasionally multi-month assignments
• Regular time in calibration labs, customer facilities, and field and industrial environments

Why JM Test Systems?

You'll get the kind of hands-on experience most new graduates wait years for, working directly with senior leaders in a company growing through expansion and acquisition. Our selection process is structured and the same for every candidate: a screen, a behavioral interview, a case simulation based on a real JM Test problem, a site visit, and a final conversation. Target start is spring or summer 2027, with offers extended this fall.

• Travel expenses, lodging, and per diem covered per company policy
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• HSA with employer contribution
• Paid time off and company holidays

• 401(k) retirement plan with company matching
• Supplemental insurance policies
• Training and development opportunities
• Opportunities for continued growth within JM Test Systems
