Equally important is the managers responsibility for providing clear direction to warehouse staff, establishing and maintaining standard operating procedures, and fostering a safe and well-organized warehouse and yard environment. Collaboration with engineers, field and project managers, and senior management will be essential to anticipate and plan for long-lead items that are critical to the success of high-profile capital projects. This position works actively with various internal and external stakeholders, analyzes data and business intelligence, evaluates market dynamics including material availability and pricing, and presents actionable insights and metrics to senior and executive management.
The ideal candidate is a strategic leader who has demonstrated the ability to directly oversee and inspire staff, align teams around key operational and procurement goals, and drive meaningful results in a dynamic utility or public agency environment. Strong knowledge of and experience in procuring utility-related materials and equipment - or equivalent depth in municipal procurement, public agency contracting, and competitive bidding requirements - is highly desirable. A bachelors degree in business, supply chain management, public administration, or a related field is highly desirable, as are professional certifications such as CPSM (Certified Professional in Supply Management), CPM (Certified Purchasing Manager), CPIM (Certification in Production and Inventory Management), CPCM, CCCM, or PMP (Project Management Professional). APU is looking to invest in a motivated professional who is ready to grow with the organization, take meaningful ownership of this role, and make a lasting contribution to the delivery of safe and reliable utility services to the Anaheim community.
