Forbes Bros. Group of Companies delivers transmission, distribution, substation, and related power infrastructure projects across Canada and the United States.
Our work spans field construction, project delivery, operations, and corporate support in an environment where safety, execution, and reliability matter.
POSITION SUMMARY
Reporting to the Procurement & Materials Manager, the Material Coordinator provides project-level materials coordination and execution support for a large-scale transmission construction project located in the North Central Region of the United States. The project involves multiple structure types, wire types, multiple laydown yards, and dedicated assembly areas.
The Material Coordinator is responsible for coordinating material receipt, storage, tracking, staging, and delivery to ensure uninterrupted field execution. This role works closely with Construction Coordinators, Project Coordinators, and Quality Coordinators to ensure materials are available, compliant, traceable, and aligned with construction sequencing, while adhering to Company Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems.
This role does not own procurement strategy, purchasing authority, or commercial negotiations, which remain the responsibility of the Materials Manager and Procurement teams.

- Monitor material availability and proactively identify shortages, misallocations, or delivery conflicts that may impact execution.
Inventory Management & Material Traceability
- Maintain accurate material inventories to prevent shortages, excess inventory, or material loss.
- Track material movement between laydown yards, assembly areas, and work fronts using approved systems and logs.
