Job description

Location: Duluth, GA
Type: Full-Time Onsite

About the Role

Let’s keep it simple.

Late material, bad pricing, missed deliveries — that’s what kills electrical jobs.

We’re hiring a Procurement Manager who knows how to stay ahead of all of it.

This role is about protecting schedule, protecting margin, and keeping crews working.

What You’ll Do

• Own the procurement process for all electrical materials and equipment across multiple projects
• Assist Project Managers to lock in pricing, lead times, and vendor commitments early
• Work directly with Project Managers, Superintendents, and field teams
• Manage long-lead items (switchgear, generators, transformers, etc.)
• Build and manage vendor relationships
• Track POs, deliveries, and shortages — and fix issues fast
• Solve problems when materials go sideways (because they will)
• Identify opportunities to save cost without impacting schedule or quality

What You Bring

• 5+ years in electrical construction, procurement, or supply chain
• Experience with commercial or mission critical projects (data center experience is a plus)
• Strong knowledge of electrical materials, equipment, and vendors
• Experience purchasing or managing:
• Switchgear
• Generators
• Lighting packages
• Conduit, wire, and gear packages
• Strong communication with:
• Project teams
• Vendors
• Field personnel

What Sets You Apart

• Experience managing long-lead procurement under tight schedules
• Ability to anticipate problems before they happen
• Strong problem-solving mindset — you don’t pass issues, you fix them
• Ability to push back when something doesn’t make sense
• Focus on both delivery AND cost/margin

Why Join Us

• Direct impact on project success and company performance
• Work closely with operations and leadership
• Real responsibility — not just pushing paperwork
• Competitive compensation + performance-based incentives

Apply If

• You’ve been frustrated by late material impacting the field
• You think ahead instead of reacting
• You like being the person who keeps jobs moving
