Job description

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.

New Ventures is one of those trade names and is looking for a Equipment Maintenance Technician at their Houston, TX location.

Pay for Equipment Maintenance Technician is between $18 and $35 per hour at this location.

Do you have hands-on experience maintaining , troubleshooting, and repairing mechanical equipment? Are you skilled at diagnosing equipment issues and completing preventive maintenance to promote safe, reliable operation? Do you enjoy solving problems and providing responsive support to customers and teammates? If so, we'd like you to join our team as an Equipment Maintenance Technician.
