Direct Hire | Full-Time

Supply Chain or Mechanical Engineering degree strongly preferred

If youve built your subcontracting experience on the PRIME CONTRACTOR side of federal/DoD work, I want to talk to you!

Adecco Permanent Recruitment is partnering with a large, highly established engineering and mission-critical solutions organization seeking a Subcontracts Administrator to join its growing corporate procurement team in Tysons, VA.

Were especially interested in an early-career Subcontracts professional with 2+ years of experience who wants to deepen their expertise, gain exposure to increasingly complex subcontract activity and build a long-term career within a sophisticated federal/DoD prime-contracting environment.

THE BACKGROUND WE WANT:

Bachelors degree REQUIRED

Supply Chain Management or Mechanical Engineering degree strongly preferred

2+ years of Subcontracts, Procurement, Supply Chain or closely related experience

Experience working for a federal / DoD PRIME CONTRACTOR

Hands-on experience supporting the subcontract lifecycle

Experience developing RFQs/RFPs/solicitations and evaluating supplier/subcontractor proposals

Experience with price & cost analysis

Experience negotiating pricing, terms, conditions & subcontract provisions

Strong supplier / subcontractor relationship management

Understanding of procurement principles, contracts, finance/accounting and commercial terms

Ability to manage multiple priorities and increasingly complex assignments with limited direction

PRIME-CONTRACTOR EXPERIENCE IS THE KEY:

Were specifically looking for candidates who understand the relationship between a major prime contractor and the subcontractors/vendors it engages to execute work for federal, defense and other highly regulated customers.

That means experience helping:

Solicit → Evaluate → Negotiate → Award → Administer → Manage Subcontractor Performance

Were looking for someone who understands how a prime contractor buys and manages subcontracted services and scope — not simply someone who has purchased materials or processed purchase orders.

WHERE YOUR EXPERIENCE MAY COME FROM :

Ideal candidates may currently work for a:

Federal Prime Contractor | DoD Contractor | Defense Contractor | Government Services Contractor | Engineering / EPC Contractor | Mission-Critical Infrastructure Contractor | Federal Facilities / O&M Contractor

Your resume might include titles such as:

Subcontracts Administrator | Subcontract Administrator | Subcontracts Specialist | Subcontracts Analyst | Procurement Specialist | Procurement Analyst | Buyer | Supply Chain Specialist | Contracts & Subcontracts Specialist

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION:

Experience working directly for a federal government agency is different from the prime-contractor subcontract administration experience were targeting for this particular position.

Were specifically seeking candidates who have worked inside a prime-contracting organization , where they supported the solicitation, negotiation, award and administration of subcontractors/vendors performing portions of the primes contractual scope.

If youve worked for a DoD/federal prime contractor managing its subcontractor relationships , thats exactly the type of experience wed love to see.

WHAT YOULL DO:

• Develop & administer subcontracts

• Create RFQs/RFPs and complex solicitations

• Evaluate subcontractor proposals

• Conduct price & cost analysis

• Negotiate pricing, terms & commercial conditions
