• Negotiate commercial terms and scopes, monitor performance, and serve as the point of accountability for these partners.
• Coordinate subcontractor support with field teams and planning leads based on two- and three-week lookaheads.
• Oversee the flow of construction bulks from purchase through field issuance.
• Implement OS&D resolution processes and support QA/QC for incoming materials.

• Strong understanding of the demands of self-perform EPC or general contracting.
• Proven track record managing construction bulks, indirects, and third-party field service vendors.
• Ability to bridge the field and office — from price negotiations to jobsite execution.
