We are seeking a Procurement Manager to support hyperscale data center construction projects in an owner’s representative capacity. This role will support the owner through procurement planning, sourcing oversight, owner-direct procurement support, long-lead item tracking, procurement reporting, and procurement risk management.

This is not a back-office purchasing role or a replacement for the GC/CM’s procurement responsibilities. It is a project-focused role focused on procurement visibility, commercial alignment, schedule protection, and early identification of supply chain and vendor risks.

• Act as the owner’s representative for procurement and sourcing activities on large-scale construction projects.
• Support procurement planning aligned with project scope, budget, schedule, contracting strategy, and required on-site dates.
• Provide owner-side review and oversight of GC/CM procurement activities, including procurement status, GC/CM prepared bid leveling summaries, award recommendations, and key procurement risks.
• Support owner-direct procurement activities, including OFCI/OFOI equipment, professional services, consultants, commissioning, testing, and other owner-managed packages.
• Review procurement packages, scopes, drawings, specifications, proposals, exclusions, assumptions, lead times, and commercial terms to support owner decision-making.
• Evaluate contractor and vendor proposals for alignment with scope, budget, schedule, delivery requirements, and commercial expectations.
• Track long-lead equipment and critical procurement items to support construction sequencing, commissioning, turnover, and schedule commitments.
• Maintain procurement logs for owner-direct packages, GC/CM procurement status, long-lead items, required-on site dates, delivery status, key milestones, and purchase order or contract values where applicable.
• Analyze vendor availability, lead times, pricing risks, and supply chain constraints to identify potential impacts on cost, schedule, and delivery.
• Identify procurement risks early and elevate issues that may impact project cost, schedule, scope, quality, or delivery.
• Coordinate with project managers, construction managers, cost managers, schedulers, contracts, legal, finance, GC/CM teams, vendors, and client stakeholders on procurement priorities, risks, approvals, and decisions.
• Partner with the Contracts Manager to ensure procurement recommendations, commercial clarifications, contract handoffs, and supporting documentation are complete and aligned with the owner’s interests.
• Monitor vendor, supplier, and GC/CM procurement performance against key commitments, including delivery dates, documentation, quality expectations, and commercial requirements.
• Prepare procurement status reports, risk summaries, lookaheads, decision logs, and recommendations for owner leadership.
• Support resolution of procurement-related issues and procurement closeout, including open commitments, final documentation, lessons learned, and performance feedback.

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Supply Chain, Business, Project Management, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in construction procurement, sourcing, supply chain, project procurement, preconstruction, construction management, or related project delivery…
