Who We Are

Sole Construction Partners is a shared services engine for a network of five construction companies. We create systems that work today and grow with tomorrow, earn trust through every interaction, and tackle challenges with persistence and professionalism. Our success comes from sharing knowledge, celebrating wins, and working as one team.

We believe strong relationships are just as important as strong numbers, so we earn trust through every interaction with our clients, partners, and teammates. Challenges don’t slow us down — we face them with focus, persistence, and professionalism, always looking for smarter, better ways forward. We share knowledge freely, celebrate wins together, and know that our success comes from working as one team.

We use a proven operating framework to set clear goals, track results, and keep our teams accountable and aligned.

Here’s the work you get to do:

• Material Procurement: Purchase materials for active and upcoming projects—primarily foundation, masonry, framing, and structural components—ensuring accuracy in quantities, pricing, and delivery timelines.
• Vendor Management: Develop and maintain strong relationships with suppliers and distributors. Monitor vendor performance, negotiate pricing and terms, and identify opportunities for improved service or cost savings.
• Project Coordination: Collaborate with field superintendents, project managers, and site coordinators to forecast material needs and align deliveries with job schedules.
• Inventory & Delivery Oversight: Track delivery schedules, resolve discrepancies, and help maintain proper inventory levels at job sites or satellite storage yards.
• Process Improvement & Cost Control: Help refine purchasing systems and workflows. Analyze purchasing trends and material usage to inform strategic sourcing and reduce waste.

• 5 years of experience in construction purchasing or buying, preferably in high-volume residential building
• Strong knowledge of shell construction materials (foundation, masonry, framing, etc.)
• Proven negotiation skills and experience working with regional vendors and distributors
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and familiarity with purchasing/project management software
• Experience with Appwrite or other database-driven procurement/logistics platforms is a strong plus
