Job description

Location: Duluth, GA
Type: Full-Time Onsite

About the Role

Let’s keep it simple.

Late material, bad pricing, missed deliveries — that’s what kills electrical jobs.

We’re hiring a Procurement Manager who knows how to stay ahead of all of it.

This role is about protecting schedule, protecting margin, and keeping crews working.

What You’ll Do
  • Own the procurement process for all electrical materials and equipment across multiple projects
  • Assist Project Managers to lock in pricing, lead times, and vendor commitments early
  • Work directly with Project Managers, Superintendents, and field teams
  • Manage long-lead items (switchgear, generators, transformers, etc.)
  • Build and manage vendor relationships
  • 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)
  • Strong knowledge of electrical materials, equipment, and vendors
  • Experience purchasing or managing:
  • Switchgear
  • Generators
  • Lighting packages
  • Conduit, wire, and gear packages
  • Strong communication with:
  • Project teams
  • 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
Apply If
  • You’ve been frustrated by late material impacting the field
  • You think ahead instead of reacting
  • You like being the person who keeps jobs moving
