Internal Auditor

The Internal Audit Staff will participate in financial, operational, compliance, IT, and strategic audits for all companies within the Heico portfolio. This position reports to the Internal Audit Manager and is located at our corporate office at 27501 Bella Vista Parkway, Warrenville, IL 60555.

The Company


Since its founding over 40 years ago, The Heico Companies has grown from a single business to over 70 separate companies through a strategic acquisition policy, and by reinvesting earnings into internal growth and new prospects. Historically talented at restoring distressed companies, Heico now targets acquisitions that will complement its ever-growing portfolio of companies in manufacturing, construction, and industrial services.

These companies are organized into groups: Applied Solutions Group, Construction Solutions Group, Industrial Technologies Group, and Metal Processing Group. Once acquired, new Heico companies are assigned to a group and run on a stand-alone basis, allowing for great independence as well as the opportunity to share knowledge about markets, production processes, and management practices across other Heico groups and companies.

Heico continues to seek out new opportunities and maintain its standard of success. The Heico Companies has remained a privately held company since its creation and maintains a majority ownership in each of its operations, which generate close to $3.0 billion dollars in revenues. Many of our businesses are certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE).
