• Experience managing purchasing decisions, vendor relationships, and cost control.
• Strong knowledge of HVAC equipment, materials, and suppliers.
• Proven vendor negotiation skills.
• Understanding of job costing, estimates, budgets, and profitability.
• Ability to identify unnecessary expenses and implement cost-saving improvements.
