Welty Energy, an affiliate of Welty Enterprises, is a professional services company specializing in program and project management, transmission line engineering, distribution engineering, substation engineering and construction oversight on transmission, substation and distribution projects ranging in voltages from 4kV to 765kV.

Headquartered in Akron, OH, and working nationally, Welty Energy currently manages approximately $500 million in construction projects for electric utilities in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the U.S.

A supply chain coordinator for project management acts as the direct link between the procurement department and the project execution team. The primary goal is ensuring that all materials, equipment, and services arrive on time, within budget, and according to engineering specifications.

Core Project Responsibilities

• Material Timeline Alignment: Map supplier lead times against the master project schedule. Identify potential delivery bottlenecks before they delay construction or assembly.

• Expediting & Tracking: Monitor critical path materials from production to delivery. Provide regular transit status updates to project managers and stakeholders.
• Site Delivery Coordination: Schedule inbound freight shipments directly with the job site or staging yard. Ensure offloading equipment, like cranes or forklifts, is ready for arrival.
• Vendor Performance Management: Evaluate supplier adherence to project deadlines, material quality, and pricing agreements. Document discrepancies for future contract negotiations.
• Budget Tracking & Invoicing: Track project material expenditures against the approved budget. Reconcile purchase orders, receiving slips, and invoices to approve contractor payments.
• Risk Mitigation: Develop backup sourcing strategies for high-risk or long-lead items. Resolve logistics disruptions dynamically to keep the project on schedule.

Project-Specific Skills & Tools

• Methodologies: Familiarity with project management frameworks (like Agile or Waterfall) and critical path analysis.
• Software: Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Asana, Jira) alongside standard Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

Qualifications And Education Requirements

• Two to Four-year degrees with a concentration in purchasing, materials management, business, computer science, engineering or related field and 4+ years of related work experience is required.
• In lieu of a degree, a minimum of 6+ years’ related work experience is required. Related work experience includes material management, warehouse, and inventory support.
