- Manage procurement activities, track project inventory, and negotiate favorable supply terms to protect company target margins.
- Coordinate shipping, receiving, and physical inventory activities to support on-time material delivery and successful project execution.
- Collaborate with internal warehouse, buying, and management teams to resolve supplier discrepancies and maintain seamless operations.
- Contribute wherever needed in a lean, hands-on environment, including occasional support with deliveries, material handling, and other customer or operational needs.
- Travel locally to customer and job sites throughout Livingston County and surrounding markets, including Ann Arbor, Fenton, Lansing, and the greater Detroit area.
