Purchasing Administrator

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 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.

Pay for Purchasing Administrator is between $20 and $25 per hour at this location.
