This role owns the complete supply chain operating system-from supplier identification and contractor qualification through final project delivery-ensuring seamless integration across sourcing strategies, vendor performance, lead-time visibility, supply continuity, and enterprise risk mitigation.

The VP leads the national strategy and operating cadence for engineered equipment and subcontract procurement across HVAC/mechanical, BAS/controls, electrical, and related multi-trade construction delivery scopes.

• The VP IS Delivery Supply Chain owns quantifiable financial performance across spend management, cost optimization, margin protection, and enterprise value creation. This role manages total addressable spend, delivering annual savings through strategic sourcing, volume consolidation, and supplier negotiation while capturing avoided costs through design-to-value engineering and total cost of ownership optimization.

• Orchestrate end-to-end supply chain operations spanning sourcing strategy development, vendor qualification and onboarding, contract negotiation and management, logistics coordination across inbound freight and warehousing, inventory optimization, and supply continuity planning to eliminate stockouts and delivery delays.
• Establish and govern national demand-supply planning cadence tied to project backlog, pipeline forecasts, major equipment lead times, contractor capacity planning, and procurement readiness assessment cycles to ensure material availability aligns with delivery commitments.
• Own and continuously improve the national IS Delivery supply chain operating model, including project procurement planning, bid-to-contract management, contractor onboarding, supplier relationship management, purchase order and subcontract lifecycle management, and project closeout support.
• Drive enterprise adoption of national agreements across repeatable scopes such as BAS, mechanical, electrical, major HVAC equipment, controls, generators, switchgear, solar, and other high-value / high-risk engineered equipment categories.
• Ensure supply chain supports multi-trade construction delivery by aligning procurement strategy with project scope, schedule, engineering deliverables, cost phasing, customer preferred suppliers, regional market conditions, and project-specific execution plans.
• Design and execute supplier performance management infrastructure including weighted scorecards tracking on-time delivery rates, product quality metrics, invoice accuracy, and compliance adherence; conduct executive business reviews with strategic suppliers; implement preferred supplier programs with tiered engagement models; and establish corrective action governance protocols for underperformance.
• Execute risk mitigation and supply chain resilience strategies including geopolitical supply chain mapping, alternate route and carrier qualification, dual-sourcing for critical components, safety stock optimization, and disruption response protocols to protect delivery timelines and margin targets during supply volatility.
• A primary mandate of this role is to build, scale, and actively manage a national contractor and trade partner network that can grow with ENFRA's business. This network is a core strategic asset enabling consistent, high-quality project delivery across all IS Delivery regions.
• Establish contractor network coverage by region, trade, capability, safety profile, financial strength, healthcare/institutional experience, responsiveness, and ability to execute multi-trade construction scopes that support ENFRA's EaaS / IS Delivery portfolio.

• Establish preferred contractor programs with tiered engagement models, performance incentives, and capacity reservation agreements to ensure contractor availability scales with ENFRA's pipeline growth.
• Monitor contractor performance through scorecards tracking safety metrics, on-time delivery, quality, responsiveness, and financial stability; implement structured corrective action processes for underperforming partners.
