Responsibilities

Own material availability for both factory and jobsite, from permit set through installation

Build and run a clear playbook for long‑lead items so projects are not delayed by materials

Reduce stockouts in kitting and on the floor by setting and managing min/max levels and reorder logic for stocked parts

Turn today’s bill of materials, purchase logs, and ad‑hoc processes into a documented, teachable process that goes from permit set → BOM → RFQs → POs → receiving → kitting → project closeout

Consult with software and finance teams on our bill of materials and materials data standards: part numbering, stock vs off‑the‑shelf rules, and how BOMs must be structured to be procurable and traceable

Stand up a simple but robust inventory tracking approach using Google Sheets + QuickBooks + existing tools, and use it as the basis for future ERP / WMS requirements

Source and manage suppliers for structural lumber, sheathing, windows, doors, cabinets, MEP equipment, finishes, and other construction materials – for both factory and field

Negotiate pricing, terms, and programs; launch 2–3 strategic supplier relationships in high‑impact categories (e.g., windows, cabinets, structural lumber)

Decide when to buy‑to‑job versus buy‑to‑stock, balancing cash, space, and risk

Work closely with cross functional teams to connect material choices to cost, lead‑time, installation effort, and supply‑risk

Propose and analyze material alternatives and supplier options; co‑decide on changes that affect building systems, permitting, or installation

Partner with Factory Operations, Production, and Site Operations to ensure material plans actually work on the floor and on site

Translate real‑world workflows into clear requirements for a future ERP / WMS, in partnership with Software Teams and Finance

Act as the primary operational stakeholder when we evaluate and implement more advanced systems in the next 1–2 years

Required

7–12+ years in supply chain, procurement, or inventory roles in construction, modular/off‑site construction, building products, or adjacent manufacturing

Experience running RFQs, placing POs, managing suppliers, fixing stockouts

Experience designing or significantly upgrading the processes and data structures behind procurement and inventory work

Experience living through at least one ERP / WMS implementation or major upgrade as the operations or supply‑chain lead customer

Comfortable starting with scrappy tools (Sheets, QuickBooks, basic databases) and using them to design the next level of system

Ability to write checklists, runbooks, processes, and standards that others can follow

Ability to collaborate well with designers and engineers who care about performance and constructability

Ability to collaborate well with factory and field leaders who care about throughput and predictability

Ability to collaborate well with finance and tech teams who need clear, specific requirements

Preferred

Experience in volumetric modular, panelized building, or factory‑based construction

Familiarity with light‑wood framing, building envelope systems, and MEP equipment

Experience with project‑based costing and connecting material usage to project economics

Prior work in a startup or high‑growth environment where you had to build systems while delivering against live projects
