Position Overview:
We’re seeking a Procurement Specialist to manage materials purchasing and logistics for our commercial solar projects. This role is ideal for an experienced solar installer who’s ready to step off the roof and into the operations side of the business. If you’ve spent time in the field, know how systems go together, and can read a planset like second nature, we want to hear from you.

If you’ve spent time in the field, know how systems go together, and can read a planset like second nature, we want to hear from you.
You’ll be responsible for reading project plans, ordering all necessary materials (especially balance of system components), and ensuring on-time delivery to keep our field teams running smoothly.
Key Responsibilities:
- Review project plansets and accurately build materials lists for procurement.
- Source, order, and track all materials, ensuring timely delivery to project sites.
- Coordinate closely with field installation teams to understand timelines and material needs.
- Maintain vendor relationships and negotiate pricing and delivery terms.
- Proactively identify and resolve material shortages or delivery issues.
- Manage inventory levels and ensure availability of critical components.
- Support project managers with scheduling and logistics as needed.
Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with solar installations (commercial preferred).
- Ability to read and interpret construction plans, electrical line drawings, and specifications.
- Strong understanding of balance of system (BOS) components and field installation practices.
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and inventory management tools is a plus.
- Prior procurement or logistics experience is helpful but not required — we can train the right person with field experience.
