Build What's Next-Source the Steel That Keeps Projects Moving.

Keep projects moving and materials on schedule. We're looking for a detail-driven Purchasing Agent who thrives in fast-paced construction or manufacturing environments and can manage sourcing, vendor negotiations, purchase orders, and delivery coordination while balancing cost, quality, and timelines. If you're a proactive problem solver with strong organization, supplier relationship, and analytical skills-especially with structural steel, fabrication, or construction-related procurement experience-we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Contribute:

Manage end-to-end purchasing activities, from requisitions and purchase orders through delivery coordination, to support project and operations timelines.

Source materials, equipment, rough-in items, and services while ensuring alignment with approved vendors, buying agreements, specifications, budgets, schedules, and job cost codes.

Obtain competitive bids and negotiate pricing, lead times, rebates, purchasing terms, and overall value with suppliers.

Coordinate deliveries to job sites, fabrication shops, yards, manufacturing facilities, and tool facilities; track back orders and expedite critical materials as needed.

Support cost control and inventory optimization by analyzing pricing, usage, and purchasing trends, utilizing existing stock, and coordinating returns when appropriate.

Maintain accurate purchase order, vendor, and item master data in company systems, including pricing updates and new part number requests.

Structural Steel Knowledge and Technical Competencies (Preferred)

Working knowledge of structural steel materials, products, grades, specifications, and applicable industry standards.

Ability to read and interpret structural steel drawings, fabrication drawings, erection drawings, BOMs, material takeoffs, and project schedules to support procurement decisions.

Understanding of steel fabrication, processing, finishing, fastening, connection materials, and related value-added services.

Familiarity with mill lead times, service center capabilities, domestic and imported sourcing considerations, material traceability, MTRs, and quality documentation.

What You Bring:

Strong organizational, follow-up, and communication skills

Strong proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, formulas).

Experience working in purchasing or ERP systems (IFS and/or Vista by Viewpoint a plus).

Bachelor's degree with 3+ years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education, skills, and experience.

Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities with strong attention to detail.
