Director, Supply Chain & Procurement

The Company - PCH Builders

Backed by a highly capable, credentialed, and professional team, our family-owned company delivers Urban Development, Mountain Development, Property Management, and Civil Works across Alberta.

For more than 13 years, we have built over 400 homes across Calgary and surrounding areas, ranging from apartments to luxury detached residences. We also manage more than 300 rental homes, giving us a deep understanding of the needs of homeowners, residents, and investors alike.

Our 61 people team brings decades of hands-on construction experience, complemented by engineering, master's, and MBA credentials. Together, we combine technical expertise, disciplined execution, and a personal commitment to guide every project with confidence and deliver thoughtfully crafted spaces where families, communities, and investments grow.

Our company has experienced rapid growth in recent years, and to support this expansion, we’re looking for passionate individuals ready to grow with us as we continue to transform the Calgary and Bow Valley communities.

The Opportunity

Our company is on a trajectory to triple revenues within five years, bringing heightened complexity across suppliers, contractors, and consultants. The successful leader that will join PCH as our Director, Supply Chain & Procurement will drive the upscale of our talent, processes, and systems and support the company growth.

Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer and currently leading a team of two direct reports, the leader in this role will drive the optimization of our vendor qualification, tenders, RFPs, and P2P processes, while integrating with our evolving financial systems. Additionally, they will establish direct international supply chain routes (e.g., importing materials from China) and implement a new purchase order system.

Each specialized unit buys differently. Your role will be to build out this function for PCH Builders, establishing the standards, vendor bench, and commercial leverage that comes with buying as a unified enterprise portfolio rather than as a series of separate projects.

We are seeking a highly organized individual with a sharp, process-oriented mindset. You will be the architect of our procurement workflows, responsible not just for managing day-to-day needs, but for actively developing, refining, and maintaining the systems that empower our business units to deliver consistent, high-quality results.

Core Responsibilities

1. Vendor Strategy and Contracting

• Build and enforce the vendor prequalification framework — capability, experience, insurance, bonding, safety, and financial capacity.
• Govern RFP and RFQ tendering: package standards, scope integrity, addenda control, and genuine competitive tension.
• Lead technical and commercial bid evaluation and own award recommendations.
• Negotiate and execute contracts and subcontracts — scope, price, schedule, risk allocation, insurance, and bonding.
• Own vendor compliance and performance monitoring, change order governance, and contract closeout.

2. Procure-to-Pay Governance

• Design the purchase order framework, delegation of authority matrix, and cost-coding discipline.
• Own expediting and delivery escalation for long-lead and critical-path items.
• Guarantee three-way match integrity and partner with Finance & Accounting to resolve escalated disputes.

3. Supply Chain and Logistics

• Own inventory, warehouse, and laydown control across sites.
• Plan logistics and material distribution for urban, mountain, and deep civil scopes.
• Identify supply chain risk and maintain live contingency plans — alternate suppliers, substitutions, buffer stock.
• Run formal supplier performance and relationship management, and manage the corporate vehicle fleet.

4. Function Building

• Define category strategies across four divisions with materially different supply profiles.
• Translate the multi-year build pipeline into procurement demand and commitment forecasts.
• Author procurement policy and standards, and build the team as volume warrants.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experience: 10+ years in procurement or supply chain within construction, real estate development, or heavy civil, including 4+ years leading a function or major category portfolio.
• Technical Fluency: CCDC and CCA contract forms, Alberta prompt payment and lien legislation, holdback and statutory declaration administration, and procure-to-pay controls in an ERP environment.
• Credentials: Degree in supply chain, business, engineering, or construction management. SCMP, CSCP, or CPSM strongly preferred.
• Mindset: You would rather build the function than inherit it. You install controls that survive contact with a busy site. You negotiate hard without burning the bench.

What is required

• Work In-Office / Travel to sites: 5 days a week. Ability to work in the main office (80 - 90% time) and occasionally travel to different project sites.
• Flexibility: Availability to work outside standard business hours when necessary to support business needs.
• Driver's license: Class 5 minimum required, Class 3 considered an asset.
• Criminal background check: Successful completion of a criminal background check is required.
• Physical requirements: Ability to lift up to 40 pounds.

What PCH Builders Offers

• A genuine greenfield mandate. You are not optimizing someone else's system. You are designing the policy, the thresholds, and the vendor bench from a clean sheet.
• Enterprise scope from day one. Four divisions, urban through mountain through deep civil, including our Canmore flagship. Few procurement roles in Alberta offer this range of scope diversity in a single portfolio.
• Real authority. Delegated signing authority, ownership of the approval matrix, and the mandate to say no. Procurement here is a governing function, not an order desk.
• A short decision path. PCH is owner-operated. Good proposals get decided in days, not quarters.
• A diverse and multi-disciplined team. We value diverse people with diverse skill-sets; you will be part of a growing team with a collaborative mindset who is motivated by common goals.
• Growth you can see. The function scales with the pipeline. The team you design is the team you will lead.
• Competitive Compensation. Competitive base salary, with the opportunity to earn a performance-based bonus.
• Great Benefits. PCH Builders pays 100% of health premiums, with employees contributing to short-term disability, long-term disability, accidental death and dismemberment, and basic life insurance.
• On-Site Parking. Parking is free.
• On-Site Gym. No membership required, full access to a premium gym, workout any time.

At PCH Builders, we are committed to compensation that is fair, equitable, and aligned with market standards. While the salary range listed reflects our target for this role, your final offer will be tailored to your unique combination of skills, professional experience, and the specific value you bring to the team. We believe in transparency, which is why we operate with clear, defined compensation bands. This structured approach ensures that every team member is rewarded consistently and fairly for their contributions, providing clarity for your growth with us.
