Construction Purchasing Coordinator | Residential Homes | $50k-$65k

Position Overview

Seasafe Homes is hiring a Purchasing Coordinator to support material purchasing, vendor coordination, estimating support, and job cost flow across active residential construction projects. This role is essential to helping the company scale by improving purchasing speed, reducing bottlenecks, increasing accountability, and creating cleaner handoffs between field, finance, and operations.

This role is intended to take day-to-day purchasing and PO coordination off leadership so the construction team can stay focused on building and execution.

What You’ll Do

• Create and issue purchase orders based on field takeoffs, project needs, and approved scopes
• Manage purchasing across multiple active builds
• Coordinate with vendors and suppliers on pricing, lead times, delivery timing, and order accuracy
• Move quickly, follow up consistently, and keep projects on schedule
• Support estimating and budgeting by organizing quotes and helping compare vendor pricing
• Work with construction leadership to confirm material needs and timing by project
• Help track committed costs against budget and escalate discrepancies
• Support the transition of purchasing activity into Builder Trend
• Maintain organized purchasing records, vendor data, and job-specific documentation
• Follow up with vendors on open quotes, missing information, order changes, and delivery issues
• Help ensure project teams have what they need when they need it
• Support process consistency across multiple jobs and municipalities
• Assist with subcontractor and vendor onboarding documentation as needed

What Success Looks Like

• Purchase orders are issued accurately and on time
• Material and vendor coordination no longer bottlenecks project execution
• Quotes, POs, and purchasing records are organized and easy to track
• Construction leadership spends less time chasing pricing and orders
• Finance has better visibility into committed costs and purchasing activity
• Buildertrend becomes a usable operational purchasing tool rather than a future goal

Qualifications

• Experience in purchasing, procurement, operations coordination, or vendor management
• Strong organization and follow-through
• Comfortable handling multiple active jobs and deadlines at once
• Ability to communicate clearly with vendors, field teams, and internal stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail with numbers, scopes, and documentation
• Comfortable working in spreadsheets, purchasing systems, and construction software
• Able to identify missing information and ask good follow-up questions

Preferred Background

• Purchasing or coordination experience in construction, building materials, manufacturing, or similar operational environments
• Experience with Buildertrend, QuickBooks, or similar systems
• Residential construction familiarity is helpful, but deep construction experience is not required
• Candidates from other industries with strong purchasing/process discipline may be a fit

Ideal Fit

• Process-oriented and highly organized
• Persistent and comfortable holding others accountable
• Not intimidated by fast-paced environments with moving parts
• Able to push items through to completion instead of waiting passively
• Strong at getting answers, not just managing paperwork

Reporting Structure

• Works closely with Construction and Finance
• Supports field operations, purchasing flow, and vendor coordination
• Plays a key role in helping Seasafe scale operationally

Why This Role Matters

• This position helps Seasafe move to a proactive, scalable purchasing system. The right person will improve speed, accountability, and clarity across the business.
