Company Description

Launch Your Career. Learn the Business. Lead Your Own Team.

With over 115 years of experience, EMCO Corporation is a leading national wholesale distributor of plumbing, HVAC, waterworks, and industrial products to the construction industry. We provide quality and cutting-edge products that help support residential, commercial and infrastructure initiatives across Canada.

If you’re a new grad who wants more than a desk job — someone excited by supply chain, sales, business development, and entrepreneurship — this is your chance to build a real career from the ground up.

Our Management Development Program is a hands-on, accelerated path that teaches you how to run a business end to end. You’ll gain practical experience, strong mentorship, competitive compensation, full benefits, and profit sharing — all while preparing to lead your own operation.

Relocation : Please note that successful candidates to this position may be required to relocate within Canada to complete their training. Relocation assistance will be provided. We have opportunities available across the country!

Job Description

Base Salary - $52,500 + Profit Sharing

What You’ll Do

As a Management Trainee, you’ll rotate through a structured, four-phase program designed to give you full visibility into how a successful business operates — from supply chain and operations to sales, leadership, and strategy.

You won’t just observe — you’ll own projects, manage accounts, build customer relationships, and make real business decisions, all with the guidance of experienced leaders across the country.

The Program : Learn the Business From the Inside Out

Duration : 3.5–4 Years

Phase 1 : Warehouse and Customer Service (12 Months)

Get hands-on with the backbone of the business.

  • Shipping, receiving, and inventory management
  • Product knowledge and vendor coordination
  • Customer service and counter sales
  • Pricing, credit, financial statements, and logistics
  • Learn how products move from supplier to customer

Phase 2 : Customer Relationships & Procurement (12 Months)

Step into problem-solving and project support.

  • Build strong customer and vendor relationships
  • Manage larger projects and complex orders
  • Read blueprints and develop material quotes
  • Deliver high-impact, solutions-focused service
  • Phase 3 : Account Management and Proactive Sales (15–18 Months)

    Drive growth like an entrepreneur.

  • Identify and win new business opportunities
  • Negotiate contracts and grow key accounts
  • Expand market presence and customer partnerships
  • Learn proactive, strategic selling at a high level
  • Phase 4 : Leadership & Operations (3 Months)

    Prepare to run the show.

  • Lead and mentor a team
  • Set strategy, vision, and performance goals
  • Manage operations, profitability, and people
  • Transition from trainee to business leader
  • Your Career Destination : Profit Centre Manager

    After completing the program, you’ll be ready to step into a  Profit Centre Manager  role — running your own location like a business owner.

    You’ll be responsible for :

  • Growing sales, profitability, and market share
  • Hiring, training, coaching, and leading a high-performing team
  • Analyzing financials and making strategic decisions
  • Managing inventory, assets, marketing plans, and purchasing
  • Building strong community and customer relationships
  • Ensuring exceptional service, safety, and operational excellence
  • Qualifications

  • University degree or college diploma – all disciplines of study will be considered
  • Positive attitude and results oriented mindset
  • Desire to continuously learn and grow
  • Excellent leadership, customer service and organizational skills
  • Possess a strong work ethic and a high standard of integrity
  • Ability to work well independently and in a team setting
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to build and maintain strong working relationships with customers, vendors, and teammates
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office software
  • Strong interest in sales
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Additional Information

    Salary Range : $52,500
