The role ensures competitive pricing, accurate scopes of work, and timely availability of materials and services to meet construction schedules and cost targets. Working cross-functionally with Construction, Estimating, Design, and Operations, this position contributes to budget accuracy, value engineering efforts, and consistent purchasing execution. The role operates with moderate supervision while applying professional judgment, market knowledge, and construction understanding to resolve routine to moderately complex purchasing challenges.

Solicit, analyze, and compare bids; negotiate pricing, terms, and contracts in alignment with company policies and budget targets.
Coordinate closely with Construction, Estimating, Operations, and Product teams to align purchasing decisions with plans, specifications, schedules, and build cycles.
Maintain purchasing data, contracts, scopes, and pricing within purchasing and ERP systems, ensuring consistency and accuracy across communities.
Support value engineering initiatives by analyzing costs, identifying alternatives, and recommending cost-effective solutions without compromising quality.
Monitor trade partner performance, availability, and compliance; assist in resolving pricing discrepancies, scope gaps, or performance concerns.
Support new community setup activities, including bid launches, contract awards, documentation setup, and community kickoff coordination.
Research market conditions, materials, and supplier trends to support competitive positioning and informed purchasing decisions.
Assist with process improvements, documentation standards, and best practices to improve purchasing efficiency and cost control.

Education & Experience

Required:

High school diploma or equivalent.
Minimum of 2 years of relevant experience in purchasing, supply chain, or construction operations OR 6–8 years of equivalent experience.

Preferred:

Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Construction Management, or a related field.

Ability to analyze complex issues, evaluate alternatives, and recommend solutions.
Effective communication skills for working with suppliers and cross-functional teams.
Proficiency with purchasing or ERP systems, spreadsheets, and data analysis tools.
Detail orientation with strong organizational and follow-through abilities.
Ability to interpret construction drawings, scopes, and material requirements.
Strong problem-solving skills using prior experience and analytical thinking.
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced work environment.

Working Conditions

Work is primarily conducted in a professional office setting with regular interaction across departments and suppliers. Occasional travel to construction sites is required to verify scopes, evaluate supplier performance, or support operational needs. Limited travel to vendor facilities, trade events, or regional meetings may also be required based on business priorities.

Physical Requirements

Ability to sit or stand for extended periods in an office environment.
Ability to walk construction sites with uneven surfaces during field visits.
Ability to lift and carry documents, samples, or materials up to 20 pounds.
