Description

Fervo Energy is applying first-principles engineering and a manufacturing mindset to geothermal power — an industry that has operated the same way for decades. We are not building one-off power plants. We are building a product: GeoBlock, a standardized, repeatable geothermal generation unit designed to get cheaper, faster, and more reliable with every iteration.

Supply Chain is not a support function here. Our job is to be embedded with Operations early — shaping completions service strategy and supplier relationships before a rig moves in, not scrambling for backup once it's already there.

Sr. Supply Chain Specialist, Completions leads strategy and execution for Fervo's completions services - frac/stimulation, wireline, snubbing, workover, flowback, water services, and sand/proppant. This role partners directly with Category Management and Operations to build a competitive, pre-qualified supplier bench across the category, and negotiate the contracts and call-off agreements that keep completions crews and equipment available when field requirements shift. A key focus of the role is service planning and building operational resiliency by ensuring qualified options are commercially established and ready to mobilize when needed.
