In this role you will handle quoting and costing across our global supplier network, manage material packages from sourcing through delivery to site, and carry assigned projects through our internal gate review process. This is a busy, fast-moving environment with many projects running in parallel. We are hiring for engineering judgment, initiative, and drive — not for a checklist of prior exposure. We expect to train the right person on the parts they have not seen before, and we expect that person to finish what they start. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Quoting, Costing & Sourcing Prepare and issue RFQ packages to suppliers worldwide, and compare returned bids on a like-for-like basis. Build and maintain cost models for fabricated and roll-formed steel parts, covering material, processing, coating, and freight. Support sourcing decisions between domestic and offshore options, taking landed cost, lead time, duty, and delivery risk into account. Support cost estimating on new project pursuits. Supplier Management Act as the day-to-day contact for an assigned group of suppliers on both technical and commercial matters, across any region we buy from. Support supplier onboarding, including capability and capacity review and commercial documentation. Track supplier performance on quality, delivery, and responsiveness, and follow through on corrective action when performance slips. Collect and verify supplier compliance documentation, including domestic content declarations where projects require them. Project & Delivery Ownership Own assigned material packages end to end — from quote through purchase order, production, and delivery to site. Confirm and track supplier delivery commitments; escalate slippage early, before it affects the site. Maintain supply chain project trackers and gate review status, including purchase order registers, open risks, and action owners. Participate in and, over time, lead gate reviews with engineering, logistics, finance, and project management. Coordinate cross-border material movement between our Canadian and US operations, and inbound from overseas suppliers. Quality & New Part Launch Review drawings and bills of material for clarity and completeness before they are released to suppliers. Work with Polar engineering and supplier engineering to resolve drawing, tolerance, and manufacturability questions. Support first article review and new part approval on new project awards, and help develop this process as the business grows. Take on any assignment within the scope of supply chain in the solar industry, as required by the business, along with other reasonable duties assigned by management. Priorities shift with project demand, and we expect flexibility in what you pick up. WHAT YOU BRING These are the requirements. Everything in the next section is a bonus, not an expectation. Bachelor's degree in Engineering — Mechanical or Industrial preferred. A strong academic record demonstrating consistent high performance through your degree. Three to five years of experience in a fast-paced manufacturing, project management, or supply chain environment. Strong Excel skills — comfortable buildin…
