As a Project Expeditor, you will independently manage assigned equipment and material packages from contract award through receipt and closeout. You will challenge unsupported dates, identify constraints across engineering and manufacturing, and work with suppliers and project teams to resolve delivery risks before they disrupt the field. You will execute the approved expediting plan for your assigned packages, set follow-up priorities within that plan, and manage routine supplier issues independently. Escalate significant schedule risk, unresolved cross-functional issues, and decisions outside your authority to the designated lead. District Overview Kiewit Supply Network specializes in providing comprehensive procurement services to clients across the construction and engineering industries in multiple markets, including transportation; water/wastewater; power; oil, gas and chemical; building and mining. Our key objectives are to offer clients a world-class service that ensures equipment, materials and services are consistently estimated and procured at the right price and delivered on schedule. Location This position is based out of our Houston, Texas office. Responsibilities Translate contract requirements into milestones, reporting expectations, contacts, and follow-up cadence. Lead supplier kickoff and progress meetings, represent Expediting in project meetings, and contribute pre-award input when requested. Evaluate supplier schedules across document approval, sub-supplier procurement, fabrication, inspection and testing, shipment, and receipt. Compare baseline, current forecast, and actual dates against contractual commitments and project need dates. Validate progress through schedules, material sourcing records, sub-supplier commitments, and other supporting evidence. Challenge inconsistent dates and identify constraints that threaten the delivery sequence. Monitor the Supplier Deliverables Schedule and Master Document List with Engineering and document control. Separate supplier submission delays from internal review and resubmittal delays, and drive follow-up on fabrication blockers. Maintain credible forecasts and current material status reports. Record what changed, the supporting evidence, delivery impact, next action, owner, and due date in the designated systems. Obtain and evaluate supplier recovery actions for routine slippage. Conduct assigned supplier performance reviews, follow corrective actions, and escalate inadequate recovery, repeated misses, or significant risk with a clear recommendation. Plan and perform cost-effective shop-expediting visits to verify manufacturing progress, material availability, and delivery constraints. Document findings and follow through on agreed actions. Monitor inspection and factory acceptance test readiness with Supplier Quality Surveillance. Align shipment forecasts with quality-release status, logistics readiness, and destination receiving requirements. Follow packages through receipt, final documentation, and resolution of overages, shortages, or damage, including replacement or repair follow-up. Maintain the delivery history and evidence needed by Contract Management for milestone review and closeout. Qualifications At least 3 years of relevant experience in expediting, procurement, manufacturing, construction, or project supply chain, including demonstrated responsibility for independently expediting supplier packages. Equivalent combinations of relevant training and experience will be considered. Ability to interpret manufacturing schedules, identify dependencies and date variance, and explain how supplier progress affects project material needs.
