Company Overview
Montana Construction Inc. is a family-owned heavy construction company specializing in sewer, water, bridge, and emergency services for municipalities, utility authorities, and private entities across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. With approximately 300 employees and $200 million in annual revenue, we pride ourselves on delivering efficient, dependable, and quality service to every client.

  • Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with suppliers, vendors, and subcontractors across all key procurement categories.
  • Negotiate favorable pricing, payment terms, volume discounts, and long-term supply agreements with preferred vendors.
  • Continuously evaluate vendor performance on pricing, delivery, quality, and responsiveness; address underperformance and source alternatives as needed.
  • Manage vendor contracts and supplier agreements in coordination with the CFO and legal counsel as appropriate.

Cost Control & Reporting
  • Monitor purchasing costs against project budgets and company targets, identifying cost-saving opportunities and reporting variances to the CFO and project management team.
  • Maintain accurate procurement records and generate regular purchasing reports covering spend by category, vendor, project, and period.
  • Support project managers in change order pricing, material cost analysis, and budget review.
  • Identify and recommend opportunities for bulk purchasing, blanket purchase agreements, and strategic sourcing to reduce unit costs across recurring material categories.

Cross-Departmental Collaboration
  • Work closely with project managers, field supervisors, and the Vice President to understand upcoming material and equipment needs and proactively initiate procurement.
  • Coordinate with the accounting department to ensure purchase orders align with approved budgets and that invoices are matched, approved, and processed accurately.
  • Collaborate with the fleet and shop team on equipment purchases, rentals, and parts procurement.

Compliance & Regulatory Adherence
  • Ensure all purchasing activities comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including prevailing wage requirements, environmental standards, and government contract procurement rules.
  • Maintain required documentation for certified payroll, prevailing wage, and public contract compliance as it relates to materials and subcontractor procurement.
  • Stay current on regulatory changes affecting construction procurement across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
  • Perform additional duties and special projects as assigned by the CFO.

  • Strong negotiation and communication skills with a proven track record of securing favorable vendor terms.

  • Excellent organizational and time management skills with the ability to manage multiple purchasing needs simultaneously across active projects.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite including Excel, Word, and Outlook; experience with procurement software, ERP systems, or purchasing platforms required.
  • Knowledge of relevant federal, state, and local regulations and compliance requirements applicable to construction procurement.
