· Lead descope meetings and support thoughtful decision-making during the buyout process.

· Draft GMP-related purchasing documentation and support cost alignment.

· Prepare and move trade partners through the contracting process.

· Identify and help manage procurement-related risks throughout the project lifecycle.

· Support the team by contributing to a collaborative, solutions-oriented environment.

· Participate in continuous improvement efforts that make Dimeo stronger, more efficient, and better positioned to serve our clients.

Who You Are

· A relationship-builder who understands the value of strong subcontractor partnerships.

· A clear communicator who can coordinate effectively with Estimating, Operations, and trade partners.

· A detail-oriented professional who can manage scope, budgets, bids, and contracts with accuracy.

· A proactive problem-solver who can identify risks and help drive practical solutions.

· A team-first contributor who values accountability, continuous improvement, and shared success.

Reporting Structure
