Sprague is growing, and we need your energy to make it happen!

Sprague is passionate about delivering diverse products and programs that warm, power and move the world. We keep homes warm through Northeastern winters and hospitals cool through summer. We help small businesses focus on serving their communities, and our renewable fuels keep our country's infrastructure running. From importing wind energy components to deploying leading-edge solar technology to help power terminal facilities, we are committed to continually evolving to meet our customers' changing energy needs.

Our Culture

We recently surveyed our employees to ask them their favorite part of the job. They answered, "The people I work with."

In addition to great coworkers, you'll enjoy perks like medical benefits and retirement contributions that start on your first day. Employees start with three weeks (15 days) of paid vacation time per year! Sprague also provides tuition reimbursement for any employee that would like to further their education. Sprague has adopted a casual business dress code where you can wear jeans to work! Do you like to get involved where you work? Is giving back important to you? It's important to us, too! Sprague donates back to the communities in which we live and work every year, and provides opportunities for employees to support various charities throughout the year. In addition, Sprague offers paid volunteer time to allow employees to support charities which are meaningful to them. Sprague has a range of committees to support varying initiatives (Sustainability, Charitable, Scholarship, Innovation, FunForce, etc.). Sprague is a place that cares about its employees, its community, and about creating a place where people want to come to work every day.

Plus, we have some great benefits!
