Career Information
Living the “Pipe Dream”
At Southern Pipe, we’ll help you build your career. Here, you’re not an employee. We prefer the term “family member,” and we really do treat you that way. In an industry with traditionally high turnover, our average family member stays with us for nine years, and our volunteer retention rate is 90 percent. Join us today and begin your “Pipe Dream.”
Benefits
We offer a wide array of benefits options. So that you and your family can have peace of mind, we provide company-paid health, life and long-term disability insurance, and a state-of-the-art 401k program with company matching funds. In addition, each family member can choose to participate in dependent-coverage health insurance and a variety of supplemental insurance products.
Everyone needs some downtime. So each family member receives up to three weeks’ annual vacation, plus a personal day to use whenever you wish. We even offer an opportunity to earn an additional day off each year.
Personal Development
Two of our core values are commitment and growth. So we place great value on training and developing ALL of our family members. Our commitment to growing every family member is evident by the company’s online university – The Learning Center @ Southern Pipe. In addition to the 300 + courses available 24/7 on The Learning Center @ Southern Pipe additional growth and education opportunities are offered through in-class seminars, plant tours and other means. At Southern Pipe, we’re so serious about training and development that we reward your commitment to these efforts.
Joining Our Family
The majority of opportunities are in our branch operations. They include warehouse, local delivery, office, inside/counter sales, showroom sales and management positions. At our Central Distribution Center, we have opportunities for shipping, receiving, long-haul driving and supervisory positions. At the Corporate Office, we have opportunities for clerical, administrative and management in the support areas of Accounting, Credit, Human Resources/Training, Information Systems, Inventory, Marketing, Merchandising, and Purchasing.
Management Development Program – the majority of our management positions are filled from our own “home grown” talent. One source of this talent comes from ordinary family members who excel and work their way into management. The other source comes from our Management Development Program (MDP). MDP is designed to take above average people with a minimum of two years of college (a degree is preferred) and teach them our business from the ground up. This is a fast paced program that’s intended to prepare MDP candidates for a management position.
