- Strong organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.
- Clear communication and the ability to shift priorities when field needs change.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and purchasing, inventory, or ERP systems.
- A team-first approach and a strong sense of personal responsibility and accountability.
- A high school diploma or equivalent is required. Additional education is welcome, and relevant experience is valued.
The Ideal Candidate
You’re someone field teams can count on when a job needs materials quickly. You keep orders organized, follow up before delays become problems, and communicate clearly with the people waiting on an answer. You’re comfortable comparing quotes, working with vendors, and checking the details that affect cost and delivery. You also understand that purchasing decisions have a direct effect on our crews’ ability to serve customers.
Experience with plumbing, HVAC, or mechanical materials would help you get started. As you grow in the role, you’re ready to take ownership of a purchasing program and find practical ways to improve how it runs.
