Job description

As the world's leading large-scale 3D printing construction company, ICON is changing the construction industry as we know it. ICON delivers projects across residential, commercial, and institutional projects faster, more precisely, and at a lower cost. Operating as a fully integrated Design-Build organization, ICON manages all aspects of project delivery from concept design through project turnover.

ICON is seeking a Construction Procurement Manager to join its Construction Operations team in Austin, TX. This role sits at the center of ICON's post-award project execution engine: translating approved RFP buyout decisions into executed subcontracts, purchase orders, and compliant vendor agreements that keep projects on schedule and on budget. The ideal candidate brings hands-on construction procurement experience, a detail-oriented approach to contract administration, and the organizational discipline to manage multiple active projects simultaneously across ICON's growing national portfolio.

Success in this role requires a working knowledge of subcontract structures, insurance and lien requirements, invoice processing workflows, and trade partner management - all applied within a fast-paced, technology-driven construction environment unlike any other in the industry.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Prepare, issue, and execute subcontracts and purchase orders following RFP buyout decisions, ensuring full alignment with project scope, approved budget, and schedule requirements.
• Translate coordinated scopes of work into complete subcontract agreements, incorporating appropriate flow-down terms, insurance requirements, safety provisions, indemnification language, and risk-management clauses.
• Maintain and verify all vendor compliance documentation - including COIs, W-9s, executed lien waivers, bonding requirements, licenses, and qualification records - for all active subcontractors and suppliers.
• Coordinate with Project Managers, Construction Managers, and Estimators to confirm subcontract values align with approved budgets, buyout targets, and RFP-level scope assumptions before execution.
• Maintain procurement logs, buyout trackers, and material delivery schedules; proactively flag scope gaps, compliance issues, or delivery risks to the project team.
• Partner with Accounts Payable to ensure timely and accurate processing of subcontractor and supplier invoices; verify alignment with executed agreements, approved schedules of values, and project cost codes.
• Support financial controls by maintaining up-to-date committed cost records, forecasting procurement exposure, and reporting budget variances to project management and accounting.
• Draft and issue subcontract change orders in accordance with ICON's change management process; maintain change log documentation for all affected agreements.
• Coordinate procurement of long-lead materials and specialty components, managing lead times and delivery schedules in alignment with the project construction timeline.
• Monitor market conditions, regional vendor availability, and pricing trends to support active project buyouts and inform estimating on future opportunities.
• Identify, prequalify, and build working relationships with trade partners capable of supporting ICON's high-velocity, design-build construction model with a focus on quality, reliability, and capacity.
• Support continuous improvement of procurement workflows, contract templates, compliance checklists, and approval processes across the BuildOps organization.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• 4+ years of construction procurement, subcontract administration, or contract management experience within a general contracting or design‑build organization.
• Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Business Administration, Supply Chain, or related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• Working knowledge of subcontract structures, construction scopes, cost drivers, and sequencing as they relate to procurement timing and vendor engagement.
• Demonstrated ability to negotiate, draft, and administer subcontracts and purchase orders for concurrent, schedule-driven construction projects.
• Experience with Procore or comparable construction project management and procurement platforms.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; comfort with data-driven procurement tracking in Excel, Smartsheet, or similar tools.
• Strong command of compliance documentation requirements: COIs, lien waivers, W-9s, vendor qualification records, and insurance verification.
• Ability to read and interpret construction drawings, specifications, scopes of work, and contract documents.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with high attention to detail and strong organizational discipline.
• Familiarity with residential, multifamily, or mixed‑use commercial construction project delivery.
