Transform the everyday with us!

Here at Siemens, we take pride in enabling sustainable progress through technology. We do this through empowering customers by combining the real and digital worlds. We are improving how we live, work, and move today and for the next generation! We know that the only way a business thrives is if our people are thriving. That’s why we always put our people first. Our global, diverse team would be happy to support you and challenge you to grow in new ways. Who knows where our shared journey will take you?

Our Smart Buildings help to create efficient, safe, adaptable, and responsible environments. Our aim isn’t just about improving buildings; it’s about creating perfect places that improve people’s lives.

If you've spent the last few years in the field or the office of a GC or specialty contractor - estimating, managing subcontractors, coordinating scopes, chasing RFIs — you already know how projects are won and lost. You understand cost, risk, and what it takes to execute.

Now imagine applying all of that knowledge at a different scale entirely.

As a Construction Procurement Lead, you will:

• Lead end-to-end sourcing for third-party materials and subcontracted scopes on large, complex project pursuits. This includes running competitive RFQ/RFP processes, conduct bid leveling, lead negotiations, and drive award recommendations
• Partner with Sales from early pursuit stages to develop a sourcing strategy that provides a competitive cost position
• Work with Procurement peers in category management to leverage Siemens’ buying power into your projects
• Collaborate with Operations and Engineering to reduce risk on subcontract and material purchases during project execution
• Act as a business partner to the area management team
• Have strong relationship skills — you can hold your ground commercially while keeping stakeholders on your side
• You'll be the lead in your market. This isn't a support role — you'll own procurement for the greater New York City area with the backing of a Northeast team and a global procurement network behind you.
• The career paths are real and varied. The natural progression is towards more senior procurement roles, including management. Many people who have held this role have moved into Sales and Operations roles as well. With a global footprint and multiple businesses, you can always find a new challenge at Siemens.

You will make an impact with these qualifications:

Basic Qualifications:

• 3-5 total years of experience in commercial construction including responsibility for sourcing and negotiating electrical, mechanical or other trade subcontracts. Experience can include technical school or college
• Must be able to demonstrate familiarity with construction documents, bid packages, and the RFQ/RFP process
• Understanding of risk factors for trade contractors and what makes a subcontractor a good or risky partner
• Willingness to travel approximately 10% for project and stakeholder engagement

Preferred Qualifications:

• Curiosity and comfort with technology; we actively develop AI tools and automation within our procurement function and we want someone who wants to be part of that
• You have an ownership mindset. You don't wait to be told what to do with a problem
• You think beyond the negotiation table creating competitive tension through market knowledge and strategy
• You make a team better. People want to work with you because of how you work, not just what you know
• You're curious about how businesses actually work, not just how projects get built
