Description

About the Role
Let’s keep it simple.
Late material, bad pricing, missed deliveries — that’s what kills electrical jobs.

- Work directly with Project Managers, Superintendents, and field teams
- Manage long-lead items (switchgear, generators, transformers, etc.)
- Build and manage vendor relationships
- Review drawings/specs to ensure accurate purchasing
- Track POs, deliveries, and shortages — and fix issues fast
- Solve problems when materials go sideways (because they will)
- Identify opportunities to save cost without impacting schedule or quality
What You Bring
- 5+ years in electrical construction, procurement, or supply chain
- Experience with commercial or mission critical projects (data center experience is a plus)

- Generators
- Lighting packages
- Conduit, wire, and gear packages
- Strong communication with:

- Vendors
- Field personnel
What Sets You Apart
- Experience managing long-lead procurement under tight schedules
- Ability to anticipate problems before they happen
- Strong problem-solving mindset — you don’t pass issues, you fix them
- Ability to push back when something doesn’t make sense
- Focus on both delivery AND cost/margin
Why Join Us
- Direct impact on project success and company performance
- Work closely with operations and leadership
- Real responsibility — not just pushing paperwork
- Competitive compensation + performance-based incentives
