About the role

Own the cost, compliance, speed, and capacity of the subcontracted labor base that executes CSA service, MOD, and upgrade work. This role converts an unmanaged 1,300+ vendor tail into a tiered, contracted, competitively bid bench — and is measured on two outcomes: dollars out of subcontract cost, and days out of backlog-to-revenue.

Responsibilities

• Bench Capacity and Sourcing: Build and maintain a qualified subcontractor bench sized to forecast demand by trade and by region. Maintain 2–3 qualified subs per critical trade per region; eliminate single-source trades. Own the regional subcontractor AVL register.
• Bidding and Cost Control: Run competitive bid events on the Building Connected platform; move subcon spend under active bid from 10% to over 33%. Build and maintain trade rate cards; eliminate project-level ad-hoc pricing. Own the regional productivity number and feed the bottoms-up productivity pipeline.
• Onboarding, Contracting and Compliance: Onboard subcontractors against standard master subcontract agreements with insurance, EMR, and risk vetting complete before mobilization. Drive onboarding cycle time from 90–120 days to under 14 days. Ensure 100% AVL and contract compliance; no work performed off-contract.
• Performance, Tiering and Safety: Deploy and maintain Gold/Silver/Bronze tiering across the assigned base; route volume to Gold. Run quarterly scorecards on schedule adherence, rework, safety incidents, and change-order rate. Own subcontractor safety qualification and incident follow-through with EH&S.
• Backlog Conversion and Cross-Functional Execution: Participate in the MAU / Subcon war room cadence (twice weekly); own the subcontractor escalation path direct to subs. Partner with Operations, PMO, Finance, and Legal to pull backlog revenue conversion from 6–9 months to under 3 months.

Requirements

• Minimum Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Construction Management, or Business.
• 5+ years in sourcing, subcontract management, or trade-labor procurement; 2+ years managing spend above $50M.
• Demonstrated, quantified $5M+ savings on labor or services categories, not parts alone.
• 3+ years working command of master subcontract agreements, COI/insurance, lien, and change-order exposure.
• 3+ years experience in competitive bidding, rate-card construction, and should-cost on labor.

Qualifications

• Preferred: HVAC field service, building services, mechanical/electrical contracting, or construction subcontracting experience.
• Experience with BuildingConnected, Procore, SAP/Coupa, or equivalent bid and vendor platforms.
• CPSM, PMP, or Six Sigma certification.
• Experience standing up a tiering or preferred-supplier program from scratch.
