Potelco, Inc. seeks a great Procurement Project Manager to join the team in Sumner, WA . The Procurement Project Manager serves as the central point of contact between estimators, project managers, and vendors—sourcing and validating material pricing during the bid phase, issuing and managing purchase orders once projects are awarded, and tracking deliveries through to completion. This is a newly created role with significant opportunity to shape how procurement processes and systems are built at Potelco going forward. What You'll Do Bid-Phase Sourcing and Pricing Serve as the primary point of contact for estimators requesting vendor pricing during the bid phase, gathering scope, quantities, and specifications needed to solicit accurate quotes. Solicit and compare vendor quotes, negotiate pricing and terms, and return validated pricing to estimators in time to support bid deadlines. Re-engage with the construction Project Manager once a project is awarded to validate or refresh pricing before procurement moves forward. Purchasing and Order Management Collect required submittals, cut sheets, and technical documentation from vendors and route them for approval. Issue and manage purchase orders to vendors, ensuring pricing, terms, and specifications are accurate and complete. Track order status and delivery timelines, and expedite orders as needed to keep projects on schedule. Support emergency and storm response procurement needs, including maintaining relationships with vendors who can mobilize quickly. Vendor Relationships and Process Development Maintain consistent vendor relationships and pricing across projects, reducing price variance and duplicated effort from project managers and estimators negotiating independently.
