Construction Materials Procurement Manager

Reframe Systems•Andover, MA

About The Position

We’re seeking a Construction & Building Materials Procurement Manager who has deep experience sourcing and procuring construction materials—particularly those related to high-performance, sustainable, and net-zero building. This role requires direct collaboration with architecture, modeling, and operations teams to perform material takeoffs, finalize product specifications, and ensure materials arrive on-site before production deadlines. If you have solid knowledge of structural systems, insulation, finishes, MEP components, and other key building products—and you’re excited to help drive down embodied carbon—this is the role for you. We want someone who is detail-oriented, well-organized, and an excellent communicator. The ideal candidate will be able to bridge the gap between design intent and the factory floor, ensuring the right materials get procured at the right time and at the right cost.
