✨ ROLE OVERVIEW

🏡 About the Client

Our client is a premier residential and commercial fencing provider serving the high-demand markets of the Pacific Northwest, with a strong focus on elite craftsmanship and security.

They are a Seattle-based contractor specializing in durable, high-quality installations designed specifically for the Pacific Northwest climate.

💼 About the Role

This is a new and vital role within the organization.

You will take ownership of procurement for custom fence projects, with a focus on metal and vinyl materials. Your mission is to guarantee materials arrive before each installation, while also building efficient processes, implementing SOPs, and driving automation through inventory software.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on precision, systems, and operational excellence. ⚙📦

🔑 Key Responsibilities

📦 Strategic Procurement
Manage the end-to-end procurement process for metal and vinyl materials, ensuring all orders align strictly with project installation schedules.

🤝 Vendor Management
Source multiple quotes, negotiate competitive pricing, and maintain strong relationships with suppliers to ensure priority service.

✅ Quality & Accuracy Assurance
Audit vendor orders for 100% accuracy. You are the final line of defense against delays caused by missing or incorrect components.

📋 Process Engineering
Develop, document, and implement SOPs for administrative and procurement departments to support company-wide scaling.

📊 Inventory Automation
Lead the transition toward automated inventory tracking, leveraging software to maintain real-time visibility of stock levels (including lumber).

🎯 Qualifications & Skills

📚 Experience
Proven background in procurement or supply chain management, ideally within construction, trades, or manufacturing sectors.

💻 Tech-Savvy
Expert-level proficiency in Google Workspace (Drive, Sheets, Calendar).

⚙ CRM/ERP Proficiency
Direct experience with Housecall Pro or similar service-based platforms (e.g., Jobber, ServiceTitan) is highly preferred.

🔍 Analytical Precision
Extreme attention to detail—you understand that a project stands or falls on the presence of a single bolt.

🗣 Communication
Exceptional written and verbal English skills, with the ability to represent the brand professionally to vendors and internal stakeholders.

🌟 A Day in the Life

Your day begins with a deep dive into the project pipeline, reviewing "Sold" contracts and line-item requirements. You will cross-reference project needs with current yard inventory, identifying gaps before they become bottlenecks.

After gathering and analyzing a minimum of three competitive quotes, you will execute purchase orders and closely track shipments.

You aren’t just ordering materials—you are managing timelines and ensuring operational readiness. When the crew arrives each morning, every component is staged, verified, and ready for the field. 🚚✔
