Job Description
Houston, TX (On-Site)
$160,000 - $180,000 + performance-based bonus
A Houston-based electrical contractor is scaling a dedicated manufacturing division focused on power distribution, panels, switchgear, and engineered skids for hyperscale and mission-critical data center clients.
I’m seeking an experienced Procurement Manager to help build and lead procurement operations during this rapid growth phase.
This is not a greenfield concept. The business already operates an 80,000 sq ft manufacturing facility and is currently delivering a new 200,000 sq ft facility in Houston. Once fully operational, the manufacturing organization will support 100+ employees across engineering, estimating, procurement, and production.
This role will be central to establishing a scalable, standardized, repeatable procurement model suitable for high-volume hyperscale manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead procurement strategy for electrical components, materials, and equipment supporting manufacturing operations
• Establish supplier relationships aligned with hyperscale data center standards (panels, switchgear, busway, breakers, enclosures, etc.)
• Develop and manage sourcing strategies for long-lead and critical-path materials
• Negotiate pricing, contracts, lead times, and service-level agreements with manufacturers and vendors
• Work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Estimating, and Operations teams to support production schedules
• Implement procurement processes that support standardized, repeatable builds at scale
• Manage inventory strategy, material flow, and supply chain risk for high-volume production
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to reduce cost, lead time, and supply chain variability
• Build and grow a procurement function as the manufacturing arm scales
What We’re Looking For:
• Proven experience in procurement or supply chain leadership within electrical manufacturing or construction
• Strong knowledge of power distribution equipment, switchgear, panels, and mission-critical infrastructure
• Experience supporting manufacturing environments ( over purely project-based procurement)
• Background working with hyperscale or data center clients is highly desirable
• Ability to manage vendor relationships in a high-demand, schedule-driven environment
• Strong negotiation, planning, and cross-functional communication skills
• Comfortable building processes and systems in a fast-scaling organization
The Opportunity:
• Leadership role within a rapidly scaling manufacturing operation
• Direct exposure to hyperscale data center programs.
• Influence over procurement strategy, vendor selection, and process design
• Long-term growth into senior supply chain or operations leadership
• Backed by a financially strong electrical contractor with secured demand
