Hajoca Corporation is 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 is the heart of our business and consists of a warehouse, counter, sales office, and (sometimes) a showroom. Our PCs conduct business under and offer a customized business approach, honoring what’s special about each local marketplace.

Moore Supply is one of those trade names and is looking for a Sales and Leadership Trainee at their Texarkana, TX location.

Hajoca is looking for qualified candidates to join our Sales and Leadership Development Program and pursue a long-term career in sales, operations or management.

We will invest in a candidate’s future by providing a multi-year development program that exposes them to all aspects of our business.

During the program, we will work in a structured, thorough manner to develop an aligned understanding of their skill sets and long-term career desires.

We will allow them the freedom to live into their dream by matching their passion, skill set and long-term goals with our needs.

Upon completion of the development program, we can provide long term opportunities in sales (counter, inside, showroom, outside), operations management, profit center management, as well as many other career paths.

During the rotational program, trainees are given guidance from their mentors and managers in all aspects of our business including warehouse procedures, operations, counter sales, inside sales, and outside sales.
