Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Expeditors who keep long-lead equipment and materials moving — PO-to-delivery tracking, supplier follow-up cadence, shortage escalation, and shop-visit verification on the switchgear, generators, chillers, and AHUs that set your critical path. ERP fluency and supplier-pressure judgment verified.
A structured process for the hire that protects your equipment dates — where a passive Expeditor finds out about a slipped generator ship date weeks after the vendor knew, and the schedule pays for it.
30-minute call. Align on commodity mix, PO volume, ERP environment, supplier geography, travel expectations, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Expeditors with verified long-lead tracking history in your sector. References from prior procurement and project leaders included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
On a hyperscale data center or fab program, one slipped switchgear or chiller delivery can idle an entire commissioning sequence. The Expeditors we place run a proactive follow-up cadence — they surface slippage before the vendor reports it.
Every Expeditor has verified tracking history on long-lead electrical and mechanical equipment — switchgear, transformers, generators, UPS, chillers, AHUs — with milestone-level status reporting, not "vendor says on track."
Reference-verified weekly (or tighter) supplier contact cadence, shop-visit and source-inspection coordination, and documented open-order reports that project teams actually trust.
Reference-verified escalation discipline: knowing when a slip is recoverable, when to trigger alternate sourcing or freight recovery, and when to pull in the Procurement Manager — without crying wolf.
Expeditor hires live and die on follow-up discipline, data accuracy, and supplier-pressure judgment. Below is what every candidate has documented before you meet them:
Reference-verified PO tracking across 200+ line items with milestone-level status — drawings, fabrication, test, ship.
Verified working history in SAP, Oracle, or comparable ERP plus Excel/Power BI open-order reporting.
Direct expediting history on long-lead electrical/mechanical equipment or engineered-to-order fabrications.
Reference-verified ability to apply pressure without burning the supplier relationship your next project needs.
Verified coordination of source inspections, factory witness tests, and OS&D resolution where role-appropriate.
Expeditor, Senior Expeditor, and field-expeditor comp bands aligned before finalists are introduced.
“Expeditor” spans desk-based PO chasing to on-the-road equipment expediting. Below are the specializations we recruit for:
We’ll help scope the role on the call — commodity mix, PO volume, supplier geography, travel load.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks. Expeditors are often needed urgently when a program discovers its long-lead book is dark — tell us and we compress.
Most US Expeditors land between $60K and $95K base. Senior and capital-equipment Expeditors on data center or semiconductor programs typically run $90K–$115K, with field-based roles adding per-diem or travel uplift. We confirm live market bands for your metro during scoping.
The Expeditor works the supplier side — PO milestones, fabrication status, ship dates, escalation. A Materials Coordinator works the site side — receiving, laydown, staging, issue-to-crew. Large programs need both, talking daily.
Not usually. For engineered-to-order equipment (switchgear, skids, AHUs) we prioritize candidates who can read a fabrication schedule and a test plan; a technical associate degree or shop-floor history helps, but follow-up discipline outweighs credentials in this role.
Yes. Every Expeditor placement carries a replacement guarantee, with terms confirmed in writing at engagement start.
Yes. Multi-hire builds (Lead Expeditor plus desk and field Expeditors) route through embedded recruiting or RPO, priced as a program rather than per role.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the Expeditor role you need — commodity mix, PO volume, ERP stack, supplier geography — then recommend the right hire path and start sourcing.
