Project Buyer – Design & Construction Services

Our client is scaling its data center footprint to support advanced AI workloads. We are seeking a Project Buyer with experience in hyperscaler or large capital projects to manage the tactical execution of procurement during the design and early construction phases.

This role combines the rigor of a buyer with a project management mindset. You will process purchase orders, coordinate across functions, and track commitments against project budgets and schedules. You’ll keep costs and approvals aligned with Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and ensure that contractors, consultants, and stakeholders are on the same page.

Responsibilities :

• Manage purchasing activity for design consultants, early-phase services contractors, and construction packages in support of data center build-outs.
• Ensure all requisitions, purchase orders, and contracts are mapped to the project WBS and tied to approved budgets.
• Track spend, commitments, and cost forecasts; highlight variances and provide input into project cost reporting.
• Coordinate across engineering, construction management, finance, and legal to align procurement deliverables with project schedules and approval workflows.
• Route contracts, change orders, and documentation for timely execution; maintain audit-ready records.
• Act as day-to-day contact for suppliers and contractors, managing administrative and delivery coordination.
• Support project controls with updates on budget utilization, schedule impacts, and procurement milestones.
• Escalate complex negotiations or risk items to sourcing leads while independently managing routine supplier interactions.
