Job summary

FluidStack, based in Austin, is seeking a role focusing on electrical equipment sourcing for large construction programs. You will own the category, secure critical components, and work with engineering to align procurement with project timelines.

The ideal candidate has deep knowledge of lead times, capacity planning, and risk management, and can accelerate delivery by leveraging supplier relationships. This position requires on-site presence in Austin and a hands-on approach to supply chain

Qualifications

• You’ve sourced major electrical equipment (switchgear, transformers, UPS, generation) for large construction programs.
• You’ve reserved factory capacity ahead of firm designs and managed the commercial risk that creates.
• You know the current lead-time reality of the electrical market by product class, not by rumor.

• Bonus: MV/HV equipment. Utility-scale generation. OFCI programs. Factory witness testing.

Responsibilities

• Own the electrical category: switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, and busway, the longest lead times in the build.
• Negotiate capacity reservations with electrical OEMs years ahead, converting reservations to orders as the pipeline firms.
• Dual-source major equipment classes across OEMs whose products are not interchangeable, managing the design implications with engineering.
• Track factory slots and production milestones supplier by supplier, because a slipped transformer is a slipped data hall.
