Description

Kickstart your career with a company powering critical infrastructure across the Midwest.

American Underground Supply (AUS) is a woman-owned, independent, and fast-growing waterworks distributor serving municipalities, utility contractors, and major infrastructure projects.

• Recent grads who want hands‑on business and operations experience
• Strong communicators who enjoy helping people
• Organized multitaskers who like fast‑paced environments
