  • Negotiate pricing, payment terms, delivery costs, volume discounts, and preferred-vendor agreements.
  • Procuring printing, logistics, specialty items, rentals, travel, engineering, and other non-fabrication elements.
  • Book project travel.
  • Regularly compare vendors and sourcing options to identify opportunities to reduce COGS without compromising quality, safety, or project schedules.
  • Coordinate purchasing with Project Managers and production leadership to ensure materials and services are secured before they are needed.

Cost Control and Spending Management

  • Create and maintain accurate purchase orders in NetSuite for materials, rentals, subcontractors, transportation, and other project-related purchases.
  • Monitor purchasing activity to ensure project expenditures remain aligned with approved estimates and budgets.
  • Review urgent purchasing requests to confirm necessity, budget availability, and whether a more cost-effective sourcing option is available.
  • Reduce unnecessary retail purchases and supply runs from vendors such as Home Depot by improving material forecasting, advance purchasing, and vendor coordination.
  • Participating in project kickoff meetings and communicating budget, purchasing, and delivery information.
  • Monitor the purchasing and usage of commonly used shop expendables, including screws, adhesives, fasteners, blades, abrasives, hardware, finishing supplies, and other consumable materials.
