Job description

Purchasing Manager

Denver, CO | Construction / Project-Based Operations

A growing construction organization is looking for an experienced Purchasing Manager to lead procurement activities supporting projects throughout the Denver market.

This is an excellent opportunity for a procurement professional who enjoys being close to the business. You'll lead and develop a purchasing team, partner with project and operations leaders, negotiate with key suppliers, and help ensure critical materials and equipment are available when projects need them.

The right person brings a combination of leadership, commercial judgment, supplier management, and hands-on problem solving. You'll have the autonomy to improve how purchasing gets done while remaining directly involved in the decisions that have the greatest impact on project outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Lead day-to-day purchasing and procurement activities for a regional operation.
• Coach, develop, and support purchasing team members.
• Partner with project management, estimating, operations, and field teams to anticipate material and equipment needs.
• Lead or support project buyouts, sourcing efforts, and major purchasing decisions.
• Identify long-lead items and supply risks early enough for project teams to respond.
• Monitor critical orders, lead times, supplier commitments, and material availability.
• Negotiate pricing, commercial terms, delivery commitments, and other supplier agreements.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key suppliers and trade partners.
• Step into complex purchases, supplier challenges, and project-critical issues when needed.
• Balance cost, schedule, quality, availability, and risk when making sourcing decisions.
• Help prioritize purchasing resources across multiple active projects.
• Improve purchasing processes, documentation, controls, and workflows.
• Provide project and operations leaders with clear, timely updates on procurement risks and priorities.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

You'll likely thrive here if you:

• Are comfortable leading a team while staying hands-on when the situation calls for it.
• Have strong negotiating instincts and sound commercial judgment.
• Know how to prioritize when several projects need attention at once.
• Take ownership and expect the same level of follow-through from your team.
• Build credibility with both internal project teams and external suppliers.
• Communicate potential problems early instead of waiting for them to become emergencies.
• Can make practical decisions without always having perfect information.
• Enjoy coaching people and helping them become stronger decision-makers.
• Look for practical ways to simplify processes and make purchasing more efficient.
• Stay composed in a fast-moving, deadline-driven environment.

Qualifications

• Relevant experience in purchasing, procurement, supply chain, construction, manufacturing, project-based operations, or a related field.
• Previous leadership, supervisory, or team development experience.
• Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• Strong negotiation and supplier-management skills.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to manage competing priorities across multiple projects.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working with standard business and productivity software.

Benefits

• Competitive Pay:
• Health Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Vision Insurance
• Life Insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid Time Off
• Paid Holidays
• Car Allowance
