About this role

The Materials & Supply Chain Coordinator plans, tracks, and coordinates materials from project initiation through delivery for electric utility capital projects including transmission, substation, and large load projects. This entry-level role partners closely with Project Management, Engineering, Construction, Supply Chain, and external vendors. It ensures materials are ordered on time and delivery schedules align with construction needs.

Identify material risks early and communicate impacts to Project Management, Engineering, and Construction teams. Provide regular material status updates and reporting to support project execution and schedule reliability.
