  • Vendor Negotiation: Assist in negotiating competitive material pricing and locking in favorable rental rates with suppliers based on project pipelines.

  • Occasionally visit project sites to assist with preparing, staging, and documenting surplus materials for transport from site to site.
  • Reporting: Assist with compiling various procurement, inventory, and budget-tracking reports for management.

  • Advanced Excel Proficiency: Highly skilled in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. You should be comfortable navigating large datasets and using functions to manage pricing and inventory logs.
  • PDF Editor Proficiency: Proficient with PDF editing software (e.g., Adobe Acrobat, Bluebeam Revu) to mark up technical drawings, extract data, and compile multi-page project submittals.
  • AI Integration: Ability to actively integrate modern AI tools (such as ChatGPT or Gemini) into your daily routine to improve efficiency, analyze data patterns, and streamline documentation workflows.
  • ERP Familiarity: Experience with, or a strong aptitude for learning, construction/procurement ERP data entry software.  Experience with VISTA, and/or ProjectSight preferred.

Communication & General Skills

  • Polished Correspondence: Exceptional written communication skills, with a proven ability to write polite, clear, and highly professional emails to preserve strong vendor partnerships.
  • Logistical Flexibility: Willingness to balance a hybrid computer-based workflow with physical, hands-on tasks during occasional site visits.
  • Detail-Oriented: Sharp focus on accuracy, especially when dealing with numerical part codes, cost allocations, and shipping deadlines.
