This contract opportunity offers the chance to step into a fast-moving environment where your work directly supports project execution, cross functional collaboration, and on time readiness for important field and facility initiatives. It is an excellent fit for someone who enjoys balancing purchasing coordination, reporting, and logistics follow through in a team-oriented setting.

• Coordinate shipment timing and delivery details with suppliers, carriers, and site stakeholders
• Partner with program, engineering, facilities, and operations contacts to surface risks early and keep priorities aligned
• Help document procurement activity in ERP tools and ensure records are accurate for downstream teams
• Provide day-to-day follow-through on procurement tasks in a fast-moving project setting with changing priorities
• Contribute to a dependable handoff of materials so teams have what they need, when and where they need it

Skill Set

• 3 to 5 years of experience in procurement, supply chain, logistics coordination, or a similar operations support function
