When you work for Texas Materials, you are helping to support and build the infrastructure of Texas.

The VP, Supply Chain will be a key member of the South Central Division leadership team, reporting to the Division President. The role has a dual mandate: run best-in-class transportation and equipment operations — interfacility movement, last-mile delivery, , and Equipment & Shops — while elevating Procurement into a strategic, value-creating function with ownership of vendor relationships, sourcing strategy, and total cost of ownership.

• Develop a multi-year transportation and equipment strategy aligned to Division growth priorities, including unlocking permitted quarry capacity through rail and barge optimization.
• Design and implement a formal S&OP process that connects demand forecasting, production planning, transportation capacity, and financial targets into one clear operating cadence.
• Identify and execute modal optimization opportunities across truck, rail, and barge, with emphasis on rail velocity, reduced car dwell times, improved load utilization, and multi-modal fluency across Gulf Coast and inland waterways.
• Partner with Aggregates, Ready Mix, and HMA & Construction leaders to translate commercial growth ambitions into executable transportation and equipment plans.

• Interfacility transportation:
  Own strategy and execution for moving material between quarries, plants, and distribution points by rail, barge, and truck, including modal selection, freight cost, and asset utilization.
• Last-mile delivery:
  Manage internal fleet delivery and third-party carriers to balance service, cost, capacity, and daily demand variability.
• Coordinate with terminal operations leaders in Aggregates to align transportation plans with loading, unloading, and scheduling capacity.
• Manage the Liquid Asphalt supply chain, including in-bound logistics, last mile delivery, and targeted inventory levels, in partnership with HMA and Liquid Asphalt leaders.
• Oversee Equipment & Shops to ensure fleet availability, maintenance discipline, capital planning, and alignment with operating priorities.
• Own strategic relationships with Class I railroads (CSX, BNSF, and Union Pacific), regional/shortline rail partners, Gulf Coast and Mississippi River inland waterway barge operators, and key third-party carriers; negotiate agreements that strengthen the Division’s long-term position.
• Build rapid-mobilization playbooks for equipment, fleet, and portable-plant support so the Division can capture surge demand from mega projects (data centers, LNG, industrial) inside compressed 60–90 day windows.
• Partner with Division and regional Safety leaders to embed safety standards into rail, barge, fleet, and equipment operations, and build weather-related business continuity plans for Gulf Coast rail, barge, and trucking networks.

• Strategic category management:
  Build category discipline for high-value indirect and equipment-related spend, including wear parts, tires, steel, and equipment components.
• Vendor strategy and negotiation:
  Consolidate suppliers where it creates leverage and personally participate in the Division’s largest and most strategic vendor relationships.
• Low-cost-country sourcing:
  Evaluate and qualify international sourcing options where commercially viable, balancing landed cost, lead time, quality, and supply risk.
• AMAT procurement alignment:
  Coordinate with the broader AMAT procurement community so Division sourcing complements enterprise and cross-divisional category work.
