Description

This position allows for a hybrid arrangement with a mix of work from home and in the office.

 

The Materials & Supply Chain Coordinator is responsible for planning, tracking, and coordinating materials from project initiation through delivery for electric utility capital projects, including transmission, substation, and large load projects. This role partners closely with Project Management, Engineering, Construction, Supply Chain, and external vendors to ensure materials are ordered on time, delivery schedules align with construction needs, and risks related to long lead equipment are proactively managed. This position is critical to supporting project schedules by working backward from in service and construction start dates to establish material order timing, monitor lead times, and coordinate delivery to job sites, laydown yards, or utility storage facilities.

  • Plan and track material requirements from project initiation through delivery for utility capital projects.
  • Develop material delivery timelines by working backward from in service dates and construction start milestones.
  • Coordinate with Project Managers and Engineering to determine material needs based on scope, facility studies, and design milestones.
  • Monitor long lead materials and lead times; ensure materials are ordered in alignment with construction schedules.
  • Track purchase orders, confirmed material dates, and delivery status using SAP or other enterprise systems.
  • Coordinate deliveries to job sites, laydown yards, or designated utility storage locations.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for vendors related to delivery schedules, updates, and issue resolution.
  • Support vendor discussions, delivery plan updates, and coordination related to schedule changes or delays.
  • Identify material risks early and communicate impacts to Project Management, Engineering, and Construction teams.
  • Provide regular material status updates and reporting to support project execution and schedule reliability.
  • Travel to client offices and project sites, as required
