Procurement Specialist - T&D Energy Sector
Support major infrastructure projects. Strengthen vendor partnerships. Grow your procurement career.
About the Opportunity
We’re looking for a proactive, detail‑driven Procurement Specialist to support daily purchasing operations across fast‑moving Transmission & Distribution (T&D) projects in the Energy Sector. This role is ideal for someone with hands‑on project procurement experience who enjoys working closely with vendors, engineering teams, project managers, and field/construction crews.
What You’ll Do
- Enter and process purchase orders for materials, subcontracts, and rental equipment.
- Maintain accurate purchase order logs and project tracking spreadsheets.
- Track, follow up, and expedite orders to ensure materials and equipment arrive on time.
- Communicate with vendors to resolve issues (missing materials, PODs, quotes, lead times).
- Source materials and equipment, manage vendor relationships, and support procurement strategy.
- Coordinate vendor drawings with engineering and manufacturing teams to meet project requirements.
- Respond to daily inquiries via phone and email with clear, timely information.
- Share procurement updates with internal departments to support project timelines.
- Assist with additional procurement tasks and special projects as needed.
- Support management with other duties that contribute to department success.
What You Bring
- High school diploma or equivalent required; bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, or related field preferred.
- Must have Transmission & Distribution (T&D) experience in the Energy Sector; capacity building, adherence to project timelines, cost control, and grid reliability. You’ve secured supply, managed risk, and ensured T&D programs stayed on schedule.
- Hands‑on project procurement experience — not just PO processing or administrative support.
- Experience sourcing materials/equipment, issuing POs, expediting orders, and managing lead times.
- Comfort working directly with engineering, project management, and field/construction teams.
- Electrical equipment/material purchasing experience is a strong plus.
- Background working with buyers or procurement teams in T&D, electrical infrastructure, power delivery, utility construction, or EPC environments is highly desirable.
- Field experience desirable.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook); Procore experience a plus.
- Ability to quickly learn new systems and processes.
Key Skills
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Excellent reading comprehension and documentation skills.
- Team‑oriented mindset with strong collaboration skills.
- Effective time management in a fast‑paced environment.
- High attention to detail and accuracy.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work directly with engineering, project management, and field teams on meaningful infrastructure projects.
- Build real procurement expertise — vendor management, sourcing, expediting, and project coordination.
- Join a supportive environment that values accuracy, communication, and initiative.
- See the impact of your work across project timelines and operational success.
