R-2 Contractors • Salt Lake, UT

1d • $60,000 - $90,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re hiring a Vendor & Procurement Coordinator who can support estimating and operations by building real vendor coverage, securing competitive pricing, and helping set projects up for success before they ever break ground. This role goes beyond the desk. You’ll be expected to pick up the phone, dig into the market, and at times get out in the field to find and build relationships with suppliers that others can’t. This position plays a critical role in our preconstruction process: · You’ll be responsible to work directly with estimating and operations for sourcing accurate and competitive vendor pricing, identifying gaps in vendor coverage, and helping drive procurement strategy from bid through project startup. · Not every supplier is easily found online, we expect this position to actively build relationships with vendors requiring occasional travel to new and potential project areas. You’ll succeed here if you: · Stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to them · Ask questions early and often · Take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks If you’re someone who takes ownership, follows through, and doesn’t wait for direction to solve problems, you’ll do well here.
