Join Us
There isn’t a secret recipe for our 80 years of success. We didn’t jump from one get rich quick scheme to the next. We believe in simple things. Like safety, service, and quality. We believe in people. Our people got us here and our people will always be our top priority.
Join our proud team — a 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 Des Moines Register Top Workplace in Iowa!
To help determine if we might be the place for you,
take a look at our Tenets of Success:
Act like an owner.
Not just a job description and never just a number; we are leaders, whether by title or by contribution, who take responsibility for our successes and failures.
Be interested. Stay interested.
We commit to breaking down traditional barriers and punching through walls that haunt our industry to learn about each other’s roles, needs, and successes. As a culture and as a company, we rise or fall together.
Create change. Start with yourself.
As individuals, we lead change through proactive communication and action rather than waiting for change to come to us.
Seek new perspectives.
We believe better ideas can come from unlikely places. Through cross-functional teaming, we bring fresh perspectives to our culture, business, and brands.
Fail fast. Learn fast.
Innovation doesn’t come without some pain. We fearlessly forge ahead with an accelerated learning curve to deliver better ideas and implement better practices.
The Perks of Being NLM Family
Work Life Balance
Happy employees are productive employees. That’s why we offer summer hours, work from home, flex-time, volunteer time off, and paid time off, so our employees can enjoy life away from the office, on their terms.
Benefits
Happy employees aren’t enough, we want healthy employees too. Our medical, dental, and vision plans, wellness program, gym membership, and company-matched HSA contributions give our employees (and their families!) the tools they need to live healthy lives.
Compensation and Awards
Hard work should be rewarded. Period. Our competitive wages, profit sharing program, 401K match, safety incentives, and tuition reimbursement program let our employees know we value their time and contribution.

No two days are alike for me. Leading new employee orientation and onboarding, employee health benefits enrollment, recruiting potential employees, and maintaining company policies and procedures are just a few of my daily activities.
The first thing I noticed about HECO is employee satisfaction and a positive company culture are high priority. Many of the projects that I have been involved in were aimed at improving the work life for our employees. Knowing that I work for a company that values its employees is great but being able to contribute to continuous improvement is even better.

I love the day to day interaction I get to have with all employees, whether I am helping an employee with a question, or working with a team to implement a new program.

Busy, my days are always busy. Packing, sizing, working with different people to get their items to our customers in a secure way; that is what I do. Picking my favorite part of the job is a hard decision! I like the bonus checks, membership advantage, and shipping parts out to our customers.
