I believe that my 13+ years of experience in the construction industry has allowed me to acquire knowledge and skills that are valuable assets. As an outside sales rep for Lord and Sons, I learned the hard work it takes to grow and maintain sales and customers. At times challenging but enjoyable, I developed skills that where and are beneficial. Working as part of a team is a must in order to succeed and advance in this field. I enjoy working side by side with my team to come up with solutions for growth and opportunities. As a purchasing agent for Pindernation Electric, I learned and honed negotiation skills from the other side of the industry that allowed me to better manage the company interests. and recognize that there is no substitute for INTEGRITY.
Teracom Service is an Electrical company. It has multiple divisons such as AC Electrical, DC Electrical, Solar and Communications. I am the purchasing agent for the AC Electrical Division. As such, I am tasked with purchasing/ procuring all the material necessary for the successful completion of our projects. This includes going over the project drawings and for specific "materials/specs" that it specifies ( E- Sheets) as well as the daily material requests from the project foreman. I negotiate with our distributors/suppliers for the best cost/availibility of materials (copper/ EMT/ PVC/ hardware ETC. ETC.)
I am also part of the estimating team. I review the "bid invites" with the estimator and I am responsible for obtaining switch gear quotes ( panels, SES, generators, MTS, ETC.) from multiple manufacturers ( Eaton, Siemens, SQD, GE) and reviewing these quotes to make sure they align with the project requirements.
I also review the lighting requirements and produce the counts for each specified type of light needed for the project and obtain a quote for the lighting from various reps (depending on the projects needs).
If the project is awarded, I obtain the submittals for the switchgear and lighting, review and send to the GC team for review/approval. once this is completed I produce a PO and purchase all the necessary equipment/materials.
