Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own the steel category: structural steel and fabricated assemblies feeding the modular manufacturing line and site builds.
  • Source fabrication capacity across regional shops so throughput scales with the build plan, not with one shop's backlog.
  • Negotiate raw material and fabrication pricing with mechanisms that survive commodity swings.
  • Qualify fabricators on quality and capacity, and manage the load balancing across them weekly.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've sourced structural steel or fabricated steel assemblies at industrial volume.
  • You understand fabrication economics: material, labor, coatings, and freight, and where each shop makes its margin.
  • You've qualified fabrication shops and caught the capacity overstatements in their pitch.
  • You manage commodity exposure with indexing or hedging rather than hoping.
  • Bonus: AISC-certified fabrication networks. Modular construction. Weld quality programs. Logistics for oversize loads.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
