Job Summary

The Program Manager - Supply Chain Management leads the end-to-end supply chain strategy and execution for major transmission, substation, and grid-modernization projects across NYSEG and RG&E within the Powering New York (PNY) capital portfolio. This role integrates engineering, procurement, logistics, and risk/contract management to ensure on-time, cost-effective, and compliant delivery of critical materials and equipment-transformers, breakers, steel structures, control buildings, cable/conductor, protection & control systems, and specialty items with long lead times. The position owns logistics orchestration from source to site (Incoterms selection, customs/import/export compliance, transportation planning, storage/preservation, yard and stores handling, environmental controls, and warranty safeguarding) and partners closely with Engineering, Project Management, Construction, Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, Environmental/Permitting, and Project Controls. The Program Manager ensures that supply-chain risk, contingency usage, and management-reserve needs are visible at program/portfolio level, preventing production disruptions and CAPEX under-delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Supply Chain Strategy & Governance

Develop and lead portfolio-level supply chain strategies for PNY (make/buy, framework agreements, LTA/blanket POs, dual sourcing, OEM qualification, repair/refurbishment vs. new build) aligned with AVANGRID standards and NYSEG/RG&E needs. Establish governance for sourcing, category management, logistics, and inbound quality-including KPIs, OTIF/OTD, supplier scorecards, and performance reviews.

Engineering, Planning & Sourcing Integration

Translate engineering BOMs, drawing packages, and equipment specifications into sourcing wave plans, ensuring alignment with design maturity (FEL/gate) and construction/outage sequences. Coordinate with Principal Engineer - Cost Engineering to align BoQ/MTO/WBS structures with RFQs, bid tabs, schedules of values, and measurable pay items; ensure clean traceability from design to contracts and field progress. Work with the Program Manager - Cost Management and Project Controls to lock material forecasts, cash-flow curves, and contingency/management-reserve triggers driven by supply and logistics risk.

Commercial & Contract Management (Pre - and Post - Award)

Design commercial strategies and Incoterms (EXW, FCA, FOB, DAP, DDP, etc.) that optimize risk allocation (title/insurance, transport risk, customs responsibilities) and total landed cost. Lead pre-award activities-market soundings, RFP/RFQ events, technical/commercial clarifications, T&Cs negotiation (liquidated damages, incentives, warranties, spares, preservation requirements, delivery milestones). Oversee post-award contract management-expediting, change control, claims/LD management, performance recovery, warranty administration, and closeout.

Global Logistics & Customs Compliance

Own end-to-end logistics orchestration: route surveys, heavy-haul permitting, multimodal transport (road/rail/barge/port/air), carrier selection, packaging/crating, and in-transit risk controls (shock/tilt/temperature monitoring). Manage customs and trade compliance (HTS classification, valuation, country-of-origin, duties/tariffs, free-trade agreements, import licenses, broker governance); ensure compliant documentation and timely clearance to avoid demurrage and delays. Implement insurance and risk coverage (cargo, storage, marine, builder's risk) aligned with Incoterms and contract obligations.

Warehousing, Yards/Stores & Preservation

Design and govern laydown yards and stores operations: receiving, inspection, tagging, inventory accuracy, kitting, staging, and sequencing to work fronts; integrate with SAP materials management and site progress in P6. Define and enforce preservation & storage programs by equipment class (e.g., nitrogen blanketing, desiccants, space heaters, shaft rotation, oil sampling, partial energization, corrosion control), with OEM-aligned inspection and record-keeping to protect warranties. Implement environmental controls for storage and handling-spill prevention for oil-filled equipment, stormwater (SWPPP) compliance, hazardous materials controls, and end-of-life/packaging recycling plans where applicable.

Risk, Contingency & Portfolio Coordination

Maintain a supply-chain risk register (market capacity, lead-time volatility, port congestion, geopolitical/trade changes, logistics constraints, OEM quality) and link mitigations to project contingency and portfolio manage
