Plumbing, HVAC, waterworks and industrial supply distributor for trade pros
Ferguson is a large-scale trade supply distributor whose current hiring tilts heavily toward operations, logistics and finance rather than engineering. That pattern matches the pain points in its job posts: credit and receivables control, SOX compliance and high-volume warehouse throughput. On the tech side, a Databricks lakehouse build alongside Power BI reporting and legacy application modernization points to a data platform consolidation effort layered over SAP, Workday and Salesforce.
