Job summary

Clayco is seeking a Procurement Specialist with 3–6 years of experience to join the Procurement Excellence Office. You will support cost management, bid packages, and subcontract administration while driving accuracy and teamwork.

This role offers exposure to enterprise initiatives, site walks, and development opportunities across nationwide projects; travel will be required and you will help ensure contract execution and field alignment.

Qualifications

• 3 to 6 years of experience in construction procurement, estimating, project management, or a closely related field.
• Exposure to subcontract bid processes, bid leveling, or contract documentation on commercial, industrial, or mission-critical projects.
• Basic familiarity with contract structure: scope of work, flowdown clauses, insurance requirements, and what a subcontract is designed to protect.
• Some site exposure and genuine curiosity about how procurement decisions play out in the field.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; basic experience with BuildingConnected, Procore, or equivalent platforms.
• Strong attention to detail and clear written communication; you understand that accuracy in procurement documents is not optional.
• Demonstrable follow-through and a track record of finishing what you start and improving on it the next time.

Responsibilities

• Support buyout cost tracking by maintaining the WBS-format bid comparison across packages; develop your eye for pricing gaps, missing scopes, and unit rate variances that signal risk.
• Assist in reconciling awarded subcontract values against the project budget; learn to read a cost picture and understand where exposure exists before it becomes a problem.
• Build and maintain basis-of-cost documentation under the guidance of the Senior Agent: unit rates, allowances, exclusions, and the rationale behind negotiated values.
• Support change event cost assessments by gathering pricing, reviewing scope, and learning to distinguish between legitimate scope additions and commercial plays by subcontractors.
• Assist with payment application review: track amounts billed against the schedule of values and develop your understanding of how subcontract cost flows through a project.
