Hajoca Corporationis one of the country’s largest privately-held wholesale distributors of plumbing, heating & cooling, and industrial supplies. Founded in 1858,Hajoca is a company based on the principles of “Service, Integrity, Reliability,” and on relationships of trust and support with teammates, customers, and suppliers. Throughout its history, Hajoca has played an active role in shaping advances in plumbing. However, we attribute our success to two simple truths; a unique business philosophy and talented people. Hajoca is all about the people, who give us our advantage, and who will guide us successfully into the future.
Although Hajoca is a large company, we work in a decentralized environment where each of our locations, called Profit Centers (PCs), is run by the Profit Center Manager as if it were their own small business. A typical Profit Center is the heart of our business and consists of a warehouse, counter, sales office, and (sometimes) a showroom. Our PCs conduct business under unique trade names and offer a customized business approach, honoring what’s special about each local marketplace.
[DBA] is one of those trade names and is looking for a [JOB TITLE] at their [PROFIT CENTER NAME] location.
Pay for [JOB TITLE] is between [$##] and [$##] per [hour/year] at this location.
The East Division of Hajoca Corporation, a leading wholesale provider in plumbing and HVAC supplies, has an exciting 10 to 12-week paid rotational internship opportunity available for upcoming seniors! New interns will receive hands-on experience in every aspect of wholesale distribution and be coached by some of the most experienced mentors in our organization. The entire internship will take place in one of our profit centers where interns can expect to learn both the logistics and operations side of the business and be better prepared to move forward in a future career with Hajoca!
What to Expect
- Warehouse and Counter Teams (7 weeks): You’ll gain a great foundation of the team and business in this phase. Time will be spent understanding, performing, and mastering the logistics of getting materials in and out of the business. In addition, you’ll work on the counter interacting with customers and learning about products, examples of how products are applied, and visit another location to see how they operate.
- Sales and Counter Team (3 weeks): While accompanying an outside sales teammate, you will be spending time within our sales unit, and experiencing what it’s like to pitch to a local contractor. You’ll learn how we interact with our existing customers and provide solutions to their problems while developing meaningful and lasting customer relationships.
- Special Projects (2 weeks): This part of our program is to further test and hone your operational, sales, and service skills. While still under the supervision and instruction of your mentor and training lead, these projects challenge you to think critically and solve real life problems faced everyday by industry professionals. The project will be assigned by the profit center manager and training leads and be applicable to the location, unit, and needs of the team.
