Negotiation, Contracting & Commercial Management

• Lead negotiations of pricing, schedules, commercial terms, and terms & conditions with contractors and suppliers.
• Work with Legal to formalize contracts, manage risks, and strengthen commercial protections.
• Support development of contracting strategies (lump sum, unit rate, design-build, CM-at-risk, etc.).

Vendor & Supplier Management

• Manage vendor performance throughout project execution, ensuring compliance with contract scope, quality, schedule, and safety requirements.
• Lead change order management, including scope validation, pricing review, negotiation, and approval workflows.
• Conduct supplier performance evaluations and drive corrective actions when necessary.
• Maintain a robust preferred supplier network with strong capabilities in Caribbean construction environments.

Project Collaboration & Execution Alignment

• Partner closely with construction management, development, engineering, architecture, logistics, and finance teams to align sourcing strategies with project scopes and delivery timelines.
• Support cost estimation, budgeting, and capital planning for destination development.
• Align sourcing and contract awards with master project schedules, procurement milestones, and logistics constraints.
• Coordinate with ocean carriers, freight forwarders, and supply chain for shipment and delivery of materials and equipment to Caribbean destinations.

Risk, Compliance & Market Intelligence

• Conduct due diligence on contractors and suppliers, including financial capacity, safety performance, and regional compliance.
• Ensure all procurement activities meet regulatory, environmental, sustainability, and company policy requirements.
• Monitor market dynamics, commodity cost trends, labor availability, and construction pricing—particularly across Caribbean markets.

Qualifications Required

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Construction Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• 5–8+ years of experience in strategic sourcing for construction, capital projects, or large-scale development.
• Strong experience running RFPs, conducting bid leveling, and evaluating proposals across construction trades—including Division 16 procurement categories (electrical systems, equipment, power distribution, lighting, communications, etc.).
• Proven ability to source general contractors, specialty contractors, and construction management services.
• Demonstrated success negotiating contracts, commercial terms, and managing change orders.
• Strong supplier performance management and vendor relationship skills.
• Experience working in multi-country or island development environments.
