Job description

Reporting to the Procurement Manager, the Procurement Specialist for this landmark bridge project will be the strategic architect of a multi-million dollar supply chain that spans international borders and complex regulatory zones.

You will navigate the delicate balance of Buy Canada requirements, Indigenous procurement targets, and the stringent technical specifications of both Ontario and Quebec transportation ministries, ensuring that every bolt and beam arrives on-site on time, on budget, and in full compliance.
