Do you thrive in a fast-paced project environment where keeping materials moving is mission-critical?

You will be the key connection point between project teams, vendors, and internal stakeholders, ensuring materials, equipment, and services arrive on time and in alignment with project schedules.

Reporting to the Supervisor, Procurement, you will bring at least two years of procurement experience in construction, industrial, or a related environment, along with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities without missing a beat.
