Construction Materials Procurement Manager

Construction & Building Materials Procurement Manager

Reframe Systems is on a mission to build net-zero carbon housing for all, at massive scale. To achieve our mission, we need to make net-zero carbon housing more affordable and we are re-imagining how housing is designed and built. Our volumetric module platform and highly automated production system will drive down cost, delivery time, and embodied carbon for multifamily housing. We are setting up our first digital factory in the greater Boston area (Andover, MA), and have a roadmap to scale our presence nationally. We are disrupting assembly line manufacturing for housing production and are backed by leading VC firms in the industrial and construction space.

We're seeking a Construction & Building Materials Procurement Manager who has deep experience sourcing and procuring construction materials-particularly those related to high-performance, sustainable, and net-zero building. This role requires direct collaboration with architecture, modeling, and operations teams to perform material takeoffs, finalize product specifications, and ensure materials arrive on-site before production deadlines.

If you have solid knowledge of structural systems, insulation, finishes, MEP components, and other key building products-and you're excited to help drive down embodied carbon-this is the role for you. We want someone who is detail-oriented, well-organized, and an excellent communicator. The ideal candidate will be able to bridge the gap between design intent and the factory floor, ensuring the right materials get procured at the right time and at the right cost.

Responsibilities

• Perform detailed material takeoffs from architectural and shop drawings to determine precise material requirements for modular housing production
• Work closely with the architecture and modeling team to finalize product specifications, ensuring optimal balance of performance, cost, and availability
• Develop and maintain a comprehensive bill of materials (BOM) for our housing modules, including all structural, mechanical, electrical, and finish materials
• Create and manage procurement schedules aligned with production timelines, ensuring materials arrive ahead of production needs
• Research and qualify suppliers for all required building materials, with a focus on sustainable and high-performance products
• Negotiate pricing, terms, and delivery schedules with suppliers, maintaining strong vendor relationships
• Manage material cost tracking and variance analysis, identifying opportunities for cost optimization
• Implement and maintain inventory management systems to ensure optimal stock levels and minimize production delays
• Coordinate with quality control to ensure received materials meet specifications and building code requirements
• Develop and maintain procurement SOPs and documentation systems
