  • Strong attention to detail and follow-through, particularly in cross-referencing quotes against submittals and specs.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with ERP/purchasing systems, spreadsheets, and document management tools.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects/deadlines concurrently.
  • Ability to build effective relationships with stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Teams.

Preferred:
  • Experience in lighting procurement, or project coordination - lighting, electrical, or related building materials preferred.
  • Familiarity with lighting products, manufacturers, and industry terminology (fixtures, finishes, controls, etc.)
  • Prior experience working in the lighting industry reporting into a prime/GC relationship.
  • Experience with submittal/RFI workflow platforms (e.g., Procore, PlanGrid, Submittal Exchange.)
  • Estimating software experience (e.g., Bluebeam for takeoffs.)

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
This position is primarily performed in an office environment with occasional travel. The role requires extended periods of computer work, and ongoing communication with both internal and external stakeholders. Occasional lifting may be necessary.
