Purchasing Manager

Open 61d

Location: Duluth, GA
Type: Full-Time Onsite

About the Role

Let’s keep it simple.

Late material, bad pricing, missed deliveries — that’s what kills electrical jobs.

We’re hiring a Procurement Manager who knows how to stay ahead of all of it.

This role is about protecting schedule, protecting margin, and keeping crews working.

What You’ll Do

· Own the procurement process for all electrical materials and equipment across multiple projects

· Assist Project Managers to lock in pricing, lead times, and vendor commitments early

· Work directly with Project Managers, Superintendents, and field teams

· Manage long-lead items (switchgear, generators, transformers, etc.)

· Build and manage vendor relationships

· Track POs, deliveries, and shortages — and fix issues fast

· Solve problems when materials go sideways (because they will)

· Identify opportunities to save cost without impacting schedule or quality

What You Bring

· 5+ years in electrical construction, procurement, or supply chain

· Experience with commercial or mission critical projects (data center experience is a plus)

· Strong knowledge of electrical materials, equipment, and vendors

· Experience purchasing or managing:

o Switchgear

o Generators

o Lighting packages

o Conduit, wire, and gear packages

· Strong communication with:

o Project teams

o Vendors

o Field personnel

What Sets You Apart

· Experience managing long-lead procurement under tight schedules

· Ability to anticipate problems before they happen

· Strong problem-solving mindset — you don’t pass issues, you fix them

· Ability to push back when something doesn’t make sense

· Focus on both delivery AND cost/margin

Why Join Us

· Direct impact on project success and company performance

· Work closely with operations and leadership

· Real responsibility — not just pushing paperwork

· Competitive compensation + performance-based incentives

Apply If

· You’ve been frustrated by late material impacting the field

· You think ahead instead of reacting

· You like being the person who keeps jobs moving
