  • Be able to work with different personalities, appreciate differing viewpoints and accept constructive feedback.
  • Occasionally, you will be on-site before, during or after our projects to help support the project managers and sales team.
  • Develop and provide regular reports to executive leadership.
  • Other Duties as assigned.

What you'll bring to us

  • 3-5 years of procurement experience, preferably in construction, paving, or heavy civil industries.
  • Minimum 3–5 years of experience in a leadership or director-level role.
  • Strong knowledge of blueprints, construction materials, vendors, and industry regulations and standards.
  • Excellent written & oral communication and negotiating skills.
  • Ability to cultivate and maintain positive working relationships with vendors and subcontractors.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities coupled with strict attention to detail.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high pressure, deadline-driven environment while navigating competing priorities.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Opportunities for Advancement : We believe in promoting from within. If you're looking for long-term career opportunities, we provide clear paths for advancement based on your skills, performance, and ambitions.
  • Team-Oriented Culture : We believe in collaboration. You'll work alongside a team of skilled professionals who are passionate about their work and committed to delivering the highest standards to our clients.
  • Early Dismissal EVERY Friday : Because we value work-life balance, we wrap up early every Friday so you can get a head start on your weekend.
  • Exciting Projects & Impactful Work : Be part of a company where your contributions make a real difference. We take on meaningful projects that challenge and inspire our team.
  • Professional Development : We invest in your growth with training programs, mentorship opportunities, and resources to help you build your skills and career.
