  • Ensure compliance with local building codes, safety regulations, and environmental standards.
  • Partner with EHS and Legal teams to review vendor safety certifications, insurance, and risk management requirements.

    • Process Improvement & Systems

  • Standardize procurement processes for construction and facilities projects, including requisition-to-pay workflows.
  • Support ERP / MRP and construction management software integration for procurement functions.
  • Drive continuous improvement in MRO sourcing practices, including leveraging bulk buying and consortium agreements for construction supplies.

    • Collaboration & Leadership

  • Partner with Facilities, Engineering, and Project Management teams to align procurement strategies with renovation timelines.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop procurement staff supporting construction and facilities operations.
  • Provide regular project procurement updates to senior management.
