Construction Procurement Manager aka Strategic Sourcing + Trade Partner Development

Job Description

Job Description

At Fiorilli Construction, we're looking for a construction procurement leader who can see margin opportunity before buyout, build trade and supplier relationships that create real competitive advantage, and turn smarter sourcing into measurable gross-profit improvement. This is not a traditional purchasing-agent role and it is not a Project Manager seat. You will own a company-wide procurement strategy that decides where turnkey subcontracting makes sense - and where Fiorilli can create more value by purchasing materials directly and pairing them with specialty labor-only or nimbler trade partners.WHY FIORILLI?Fiorilli's #1 differentiator is its culture, Core Focus, and Core Values. We build through a customer-centric approach, "Building Together" culture, and a 'Fio-Family' environment that encourages people to grow, contribute, and take ownership. We're also serious about working smarter: Fiorilli is virtual, mobile, and digital, using platforms such as Jonas Premier and other technology-forward tools to make information visible, improve decisions, and produce better construction outcomes.Competitive salary plus quarterly profit-based incentives centered on individual and company achievementMedical, dental, and vision insurance plus HSA company matching401(k) retirement/profit-sharing plan with company matchingPaid vacation, sick, holiday, birthday/work-anniversary, and concentrated time-off benefits, subject to role and project requirementsShort-term disability, travel reimbursement, and health/wellness resourcesCareer-development and internal-growth opportunities through Fiorilli University programsCompany events and employee-led initiatives supporting Fiorilli's work-hard / play-hard cultureYou'll have a direct line of sight to the bottom line: stronger buyout strategy, better supplier access, deeper trade-partner coverage, less bid-day guesswork, and repeatable savings that scale across Fiorilli's commercial construction portfolio.YOUR ROLEReporting to the Director of Preconstruction, you will own Fiorilli's company-wide procurement, strategic sourcing, and specialty trade-partner development function. This is a high-ownership manager/individual-contributor seat with no direct reports initially, working as the strategic bridge between Preconstruction, Estimating, Operations, Field Leadership, and Finance. Your scorecard is built around five accountabilities:PROCUREMENT STRATEGY & BUYOUT OPTIMIZATION - Review plans, specifications, CSI divisions, and bid assumptions; identify the best mix of direct-buy, labor-only, and turnkey procurement; validate market pricing and TCO; and drive a target of at least 3% blended savings across targeted categories.TRADE PARTNER DEVELOPMENT & SUPPLIER RELATIONS - Own specialty trade-partner vetting and build a deep sourcing toolbox of trusted installers, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and national accounts with competitive pricing, capacity, and backup coverage.DIRECT PURCHASING & CATEGORY MANAGEMENT - Centralize recurring General Conditions purchasing, execute direct material buys and labor-only subcontracts, manage prioritized CSI sourcing categories, and control lead times, logistics, supplier programs, rebates, and warranties.CONTROLS, REPORTING & FORECASTING - Make procurement performance visible through Jonas, KPI scorecards, savings/COGS analysis, commitment tracking, forecast reporting, supplier data, and accurate reconciliation of procurement results to project budgets.CROSS-FUNCTIONAL SUPPORT & IMPROVEMENT - Create clean procurement turnover to Operations, train the team on processes and tools, capture lessons learned, solve procurement-related execution issues, and continuously improve the system without allowing the role to drift into routine PM or field responsibilities.Your highest-priority sourcing opportunities will include company-wide General Conditions purchases and repeatable, material-heavy trades such as interior carpentry/drywall, flooring, painting/coatings, rough carpentry and lumber, doors/frames/hardware, specialties, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and selected mechanical equipment. Fiorilli serves commercial markets across the Midwest including retail, restaurant/QSR, convenience/fuel/grocery, self-storage/light industrial, multifamily/mixed-use/hospitality, healthcare, education/childcare/religious, office, and sports/recreation.YOUR SCHEDULEThis is a full-time role based through Fiorilli's Richfield, Ohio headquarters. The work is primarily Preconstruction/procurement focused, with regular collaboration in the office plus supplier, manufacturer, trade-partner, and occasional project-site meetings as needed. Fiorilli supports flexible and remote-work practices where role responsibilities allow, but this position requires enough in-person engagement to build relationships, review opportunities, and keep procurement decisions connected to real project execution.WHAT YOU BRING5+ years of professional commercial construction experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, estimating, project management, operations, or a closely related roleStrong knowledge of commercial subcontractor markets, material purchasing, buyout strategy, and the cost drivers behind construction Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)Ability to read and analyze drawings, specifications, scopes, takeoffs, and project requirements at a high level and translate them into procurement decisionsDemonstrated skill negotiating pricing, scope, terms, lead times, and commercial arrangements with subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, and distributorsStrong financial and analytical capability, including TCO thinking, bid/quote comparison, cost-variance analysis, and advanced spreadsheet skillsComfort preparing scopes, purchase orders, and labor-only subcontract documents and using Jonas or a comparable construction ERP/project-management platformRelationship -driven, curious, entrepreneurial, detail-oriented, highly accountable, and comfortable addressing conflict directly while protecting long-term partnershipsYou'll do especially well here if you understand both sides of the construction table: how estimators build a number, how Operations needs a buyout to execute, and how the right supplier or specialty trade relationship can turn material markup, market knowledge, and purchasing leverage into a sustainable competitive advantage.WHAT THIS ROLE IS - AND ISN'TThis role owns Procurement and Strategic Trade Partner Sourcing & Development. You may occasionally backstop estimating or project needs when strategically necessary, but you are not the full-time Estimator, Project Manager, Job Coordinator, Superintendent, or material purchasing only role. We want the person in this seat spending the overwhelming majority of their time building and institutionalizing a procurement function that produces measurable company-wide results.OUR MISSION + CULTUREFiorilli Construction is a full-service commercial general contractor focused on Delivering Construction Excellence through a customer-centric approach and Building Synergistic Authentic Relationships.
