This role is focused on building and strengthening supplier relationships, identifying and vetting recent trade partners, and supporting project teams with reliable, high-quality vendor networks.

- Lead cross-functional collaboration to align procurement decisions with organizational priorities.
- Establish and track KPIs and reporting metrics to drive cost savings and productivity improvements.
- Oversee end-to-end supply chain management, securing delivery schedules and mitigating potential disruptions.
- Negotiate bulk purchasing agreements and long-term partnerships to achieve sustainable savings.




- Ensure projects are positioned as preferred partnerships with competitive pricing and schedule commitment.
- Maintain compliance with corporate and provincial occupational health and safety requirements.
- Oversee equipment and asset management, including inventory systems, preventative maintenance, and purchase approvals.
- Ensure clear, timely, and professional communication with all internal and external stakeholders.

- Experience working with trades, subcontractors, and supplier networks
- Proven ability to build and manage vendor relationships
- Experience sourcing and onboarding new trades/vendors
- High integrity, strong work ethic, and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset.
