SPS Companies Fire Protection Division (Pipe Fabricators) is currently seeking an individual to fill an opening for a full-time Digitizer/Sales Support role at our Maple Grove, MN location.

SPS Companies, Inc. was established in 1951, and consists of three divisions.

Our plumbing/heating (HVAC) division is a wholesale distributor of products and services for residential and commercial plumbing, mechanical and industrial piping, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration.

Our metals division supplies professional roofing, sheet metal, specialty copper and architectural metal. It is located in Minnesota.

SPS is an Employee-Owned Company (ESOP) and has been since 1989. Our employees have a vested interest in the success of SPS, which leads to greater motivation and productivity as they are really "owners" rather than "employees".

This is a full-time position. Work hours will be 8:00am – 4:30pm Monday through Friday, but may vary on occasion. Full-time employees are eligible for medical, dental, life, AD&D, long-term and short-term disability insurance.
