Job Description

Do You Love Solving Problems, Working with People, and Finding Better Ways to Get Things Done?

Ashlar Homes is looking for a sharp, analytical, tech-savvy professional to join our growing team as a Purchasing Coordinator & Field Support.

At Ashlar, excellence starts with getting the right materials to the right job on time and ensuring our valued trade partners get paid on time. At 200+ homes per year, that's easier said than done. We're looking for someone who not only enjoys following a solid process, but also enjoys figuring things out, thrives on solving problems, and takes pride in helping others succeed.

A successful candidate equally enjoys analyzing numbers, navigating new technology, and working directly with our construction teams and trade partners. You're someone who asks great questions, notices the small details, thinks independently, and doesn't wait to be told what to do next.

We're a growing, forward-thinking homebuilder that embraces technology, innovation, and continuous improvement. Things move quickly, priorities change, and not every situation comes with a playbook. If that sounds exciting rather than intimidating, we'd love to meet you!

** What You’ll Do**

Purchasing & Analytical Support

• Prepare, review, and manage purchase orders to support residential construction operations.
• Analyze pricing, costs, and purchasing data to identify discrepancies and opportunities for improvement.
• Maintain accurate purchasing records, budgets, and project information.
• Use Google Sheets and construction management software to organize data, track costs, and support purchasing decisions.
• Investigate discrepancies and work independently to find practical solutions.

Field Support & Relationship Building

• Serve as a dependable resource for our construction field teams, helping resolve questions about purchasing, materials, and vendors.
• Build positive working relationships with suppliers, trade partners, and internal teams.
• Communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, and help keep construction projects moving forward.
• Approach challenges with a customer-service mindset, understanding that supporting our field teams is a key part of our success.

Technology & Process Improvement

• Embrace new technology, systems, and evolving business processes.
• Look for smarter, more efficient ways to improve accuracy, communication, and workflows.
• Take initiative to identify issues, ask questions, and recommend solutions.
• Adapt to changing priorities and navigate situations where the answer isn't always immediately clear.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Construction Management, Supply Chain Management, or a related field preferred.
• At least two years of professional experience following college preferred.
• Solid spreadsheet skills, including the ability to organize, analyze, and interpret data.
• Experience in banking, financial services, purchasing, procurement, or a buyer-related role is a plus.
• Excellent communication, organization, and interpersonal skills.
• Comfortable learning and working across multiple software platforms.
• Residential construction experience is a plus, but not required. We're willing to train the right person!

Why Ashlar Homes?

At Ashlar Homes, we’re building more than homes. We're building a team of people who care about doing great work, supporting one another, and continuously finding ways to improve.

We value people who bring fresh ideas, take initiative, embrace technology, and aren't afraid to challenge the way things have always been done.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to combine analytical skills with meaningful relationships, gain hands‑on experience in residential construction, and grow with a company that is always looking ahead.

If you're naturally curious, love a good challenge, and enjoy being the person others can count on, we want to hear from you!
