Description

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

Sprague values innovation, safety, integrity, and people. We know that our people are what set us apart from our competition, and we work hard to make sure each employee across our 20+ locations know how important they are to our organization.  We recently surveyed our employees to ask them their favorite part of the job. Unanimously, they answered, "The people I work with." You are part of a team and a family at Sprague, and everyone works together to ensure both the success of the company and of the individual.
