Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Skilled trade labor is one of the hardest things to secure on a data center build. This Sourcing Manager owns how Hut 8 finds, qualifies, and contracts the subcontractors that do the work in the field, such as mechanical, electrical, and civil subcontractors, so trade providers show up per the schedule needs, deliver the contracted scope at optimal cost.
The Sourcing Manager works cross-functionally with Construction, Engineering, Finance/AP, Legal, and Operations to lock in subtrade capacity early and minimize commercial and execution risk across capital projects.
Some of the responsibilities you can expect include the following:
- Build a subtrade sourcing plan for each site, including package strategy, target bidders, and a buyout schedule tied to the construction schedule
- Map and prequalify subtrade partners in each market on capacity , safety record (EMR, TRIR, OSHA history), bonding, financial health, manpower, and project history
- Write scope sheets, run competitive bids, and level bids to close scope gaps before award
- Negotiate subcontracts, labor and unit rates, escalation, and manpower commitments, and put program agreements in place with proven partners
- Track trade capacity and competing projects, identifying early risk indicators and escalating before they affect the schedule
- Review change orders, T&M tickets, and claims for merit and price, and keep payments aligned with contractual milestones
- Score subtrade partners after each project and recommend improvements that reduce risk and improve cash flow timing
ABOUT YOU
- Bachelor's degree in construction management, Supply Chain, Engineering, or related field preferred (equivalent experience considered)
- 5+ years of experience in subcontract buyout, procurement, or contracts management on large capital projects
- Demonstrated experience leveling trade bids and negotiating subcontracts across multiple trade scopes
- Able to read drawings and specifications well enough to write a scope sheet and catch a scope gap
- Working knowledge of trade labor markets, including union and open shop dynamics
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving infrastructure or industrial environment
- Preferred: Data center or mission critical project experience; buyout experience on the general contractor side; experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Odoo)
About this role
Finding and locking in skilled trades for data center construction is notoriously difficult, and this role puts you at the center of solving that problem for Hut 8. You would own the full sourcing lifecycle—from developing site-specific subtrade strategies and prequalifying mechanical, electrical, and civil contractors, through competitive bidding, negotiation, and ongoing performance management. The work demands close coordination across Construction, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and Operations to secure capacity early, manage commercial risk, and keep projects on schedule and budget.
This is a contract position based in Miami requiring in-office presence. You'll need at least five years of subcontract procurement or buyout experience on large capital projects, with demonstrated skill in bid leveling, scope writing, and subcontract negotiation. The role expects you to read drawings, understand trade labor markets (union and open shop), and operate comfortably in fast-moving industrial or infrastructure environments. A degree in construction management, supply chain, or engineering is preferred, though equivalent experience counts.
Data center or mission-critical project background would be valuable, as would prior buyout experience on the GC side and familiarity with ERP systems like SAP or Coupa. This role suits someone who thrives on managing complexity across multiple stakeholders and trades, with the commercial acumen to negotiate favorable terms while maintaining strong partner relationships.
