W
Wajax is a 1,000+ person industrial distributor founded in 1858, operating across mining, oil sands, forestry, and construction in Canada. The stack reflects a traditional manufacturing-services hybrid: CAD tools (AutoCAD, Solidworks), industrial controls (Schneider Electric, ABB, Allen-Bradley), and Microsoft enterprise software (Salesforce, Power BI, Teams). The hiring mix is sales-driven (64 roles) with a 2:1 sales-to-engineering ratio, and active projects reveal a push toward account expansion and supply-chain standardization rather than product innovation.
