About The Position

The Management Trainee position is a rotational four-year training program built for sales driven, entrepreneurial-minded individuals who want to run their own business, without the risk of starting one from scratch. Over four years, you'll rotate through progressively greater levels of responsibility, warehouse, counter, sales, customer ownership, and business leadership, building the skills to become a Profit Center Manager: Hajoca's version of a business owner. This is not a desk job and not a generic corporate training track. From day one, you'll be immersed in the operational and commercial heartbeat of a Profit Center: quoting jobs, growing accounts, and negotiating with contractors. Trainees who complete the program are positioned to lead their own Profit Center, managing a multi-million-dollar business and sharing directly in its financial success.

Requirements

A bachelor's degree
A competitive, self-starting mindset; you want to create something meaningful and be measured by the results you achieve, not simply by showing up.
Genuine interest in relationship-building, sales, and the mechanics of running a business.
Willingness to relocate during and after the program, based on business need and career opportunity.
Strong communication skills and comfort working in the field with contractors, tradespeople, and customers.
Demonstrated leadership in professional, educational, and/or social experiences
No industry experience required, we'll teach you the business.

Prospect contractors, bid jobs, and win new accounts as an outside sales representative.
Build your own book of business and learn to think like an owner about where growth comes from.
Focus on the full operating picture of a Profit Center, including P&L management, inventory and margin strategy, staffing and team leadership, and vendor negotiations.
Work directly with a Profit Center Manager as a business partner, preparing to lead a location and its sales team.
