• Familiarity with construction materials (HVAC, plumbing, piping, fittings, etc.) is a plus. 

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word) and purchasing or ERP software. 

• Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail. 

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.

• Primarily office-based within a construction or corporate office setting. 

• Frequent coordination with field personnel, warehouses, and job sites. 

• May require occasional site visits to understand material needs and logistics. 

• Fast-paced environment driven by construction project timelines and deadlines. 

• Standard business hours with occasional extended hours depending on project demands. 

• Collaborative team environment involving operations, project management, and
