The Opportunity

Byers Industrial Services is seeking an experienced, highly organized, and results-driven Procurement Manager to oversee purchasing, strategic sourcing, vendor relationships, and material procurement operations across our growing portfolio of industrial electrical and mechanical construction projects.

Based at our corporate headquarters in Franklinville, New Jersey, this individual will work closely with executive leadership, Project Managers, Superintendents, field personnel, and supporting departments to ensure the timely and cost-effective procurement of materials, equipment, and services essential to successful project execution.
