Job Description:

The Senior Procurement Specialist, Operations is responsible for sourcing, purchasing, and expediting spare parts, consumables, equipment, and services supporting commissioning, maintenance, and plant operations for next-generation geothermal assets that deliver reliable, 24/7 carbon-free electricity.

• Monitor open orders, supplier commitments, and critical delivery dates; proactively communicate delays, risks, and mitigation actions supporting commissioning, outages, and routine operations
• Develop qualified local and regional suppliers, preferred-supplier arrangements, catalogs, and blanket purchase orders to improve competition and reduce procurement-card purchasing
• Maintain pricing and purchasing data, benchmark market conditions, monitor key cost drivers, and identify savings, standardization, and supplier-consolidation opportunities
• Review warranty coverage before replacement purchases and coordinate notifications, repairs, replacements, credits, recoveries, and escalation of disputed or delayed claims
• Monitor supplier quality, cost, delivery, responsiveness, and warranty support; coordinate corrective actions and continuous improvement
• Prepare and analyze metrics covering PO cycle time, competitive-bid compliance, open orders, supplier on-time delivery, emergency purchases, savings, cost avoidance, and warranty recovery; use findings to identify risks and improve processes

• Proficiency with ERP or procurement systems such as SAP or Oracle, along with strong Excel, KPI reporting, and analytical skills
• Strong commercial judgment, negotiation, organization, communication, and problem-solving capabilities, including the ability to manage urgent requirements while maintaining procurement controls

Preferred:
