Construction Services Procurement Manager

LHH, Irving, TX, United States


LHH is partnering with a rapidly scaling, private equity-backed infrastructure platform to identify a

Construction Services Procurement Manager . This organization is in aggressive growth mode, expanding its footprint across North America and Europe, and is positioned to become a global leader in mission‑critical infrastructure.

This role sits within a lean, high‑impact procurement team and will play a pivotal role in supporting large‑scale construction and development initiatives. The focus is not on materials or equipment procurement—this position is exclusively responsible for sourcing and managing

construction‑related service providers .

Position Overview
This individual will lead the

end‑to‑end procurement of construction services , partnering closely with development, design, and project delivery teams to ensure best‑in‑class vendor selection and commercial outcomes.

You will own the full lifecycle of the RFP/RFQ process—from initial stakeholder alignment through final award—while driving cost transparency, scope alignment, and vendor performance.

Key Responsibilities

Lead procurement efforts for

construction‑related services , including:

General contractors and trade partners

Commissioning agents and specialty service providers

Manage the

full RFP/RFQ lifecycle :

Scope development and documentation

Bid solicitation and vendor engagement

Cost analysis, bid leveling, and benchmarking

Vendor interviews and evaluation

Contract negotiation and award execution

Partner with internal stakeholders across development and project teams to align procurement strategy with project timelines and delivery goals

Drive

commercial rigor

through pricing validation, scope clarification, and contract structuring

Build and maintain a strong network of qualified service providers to support ongoing and future project needs

Required Experience

5–8+ years of experience in

procurement, preconstruction, estimating, or project management

within construction environments

Proven experience procuring

construction services (not materials or equipment)

Demonstrated ownership of

RFP/RFQ processes from initiation through award

Background in

commercial or industrial construction

environments (mission‑critical or large‑scale projects preferred)

Strong understanding of

project delivery lifecycle , particularly preconstruction and planning phases

Experience evaluating vendor proposals, leveling bids, and negotiating commercial terms

Preferred Background

Experience supporting

data center, mission‑critical, or large‑scale infrastructure projects

Background with a

commercial general contractor or mechanical/electrical trade partner

Degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field

Exposure to ERP or procurement platforms (e.g., Oracle, Workday)

What This Role Offers

Opportunity to join a

high‑growth, well‑capitalized organization

with global expansion plans

Direct impact on large‑scale, complex construction initiatives

Visibility across development, procurement, and project leadership teams

Strong compensation package including base salary, bonus, and comprehensive benefits

Relocation support available for top‑tier candidates

Why This Role Matters
This is not a traditional procurement position. Success in this role requires a

deep understanding of construction project delivery

and the ability to operate as a strategic partner to development and project teams.

If your background is primarily in materials or supply chain procurement, this will not be the right fit. This role is built for individuals who understand how to

source, evaluate, and contract the people and firms that execute complex construction projects .

If you’re looking to step into a high‑visibility role within a scaling infrastructure platform—and have the right blend of construction and procurement expertise—we want to connect.
