Job description

At JC Davis Ventures, LLC dba JC Davis Power, we keep work moving with smart, reliable solutions that allow our people and our partners to stay safe, focused, and ahead. Powering a jobsite shouldn't be a hassle. But too often, crews are left waiting, equipment breaks down, vendors go dark, and deadlines slip.

We started JC Davis Power to fix all of that. We're a full-service jobsite operations partner, delivering and maintaining temporary power, climate control, and tower lighting. All with one reliable crew. No handoffs. No confusion.

We show up, solve problems, and do the work the right way. Whether you're supporting customers in the field, building systems behind the scenes, or helping drive the business forward, you'll be part of a team that values reliability, accountability, and getting the job done.

Simple - Reliable - Done Right!

The Role

The Director of Supply Chain leads our supply chain organization and owns strategic sourcing, vendor and OEM relationships, procurement, and inventory. This role builds the supplier network that keeps our fleet supported and our crews moving. It negotiates at a strategic and national account level and builds partnerships with vendors who are as committed to service as we are.

Reporting to the VP of Fleet Strategy & Asset Management, the Director turns fleet strategy into smart sourcing and reliable parts support. As JC Davis Power continues to grow, this leader will build the processes, data, and team structure that let supply chain scale with the business.

• Procurement Process & Controls. Set procurement policies, approval workflows, competitive bid standards, and contract compliance practices from request through purchase.
• Team Leadership. Direct, coach, and develop the purchasing and supply chain team, with clear roles, expectations, and performance standards.
• Parts Availability & Forecasting. Partner with fleet and shop leaders to forecast critical parts and refurbishment materials, manage vendor lead times, and develop alternative sources to reduce delivery risk.
• Inventory Management. Lead inventory planning, stocking levels, accuracy, turnover, replenishment, and obsolete stock reduction across locations.
• Maintenance & Refurbishment Support. Coordinate vendor support for engine rebuilds, major components, warranty claims, and specialty services.
• Spend Analysis & Reporting. Analyze supplier spend, consolidate purchasing where beneficial, manage the supply chain budget, and report savings and vendor performance to the VP.
• Systems & Data. Improve procurement and inventory data quality, system adoption, and repeatable processes across locations.
