Procurement Manager
Itasca, IllinoisPosted 3 days ago
Full-timeonsite
Job Description
Location: Itasca
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 procurement for all electrical materials and equipment across multiple projects
- 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
- Review drawings/specs to ensure accurate purchasing
- 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
- Ability to read drawings and specifications
- 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
