Join us and work alongside world-class engineers, geoscientists, operators, project builders, and business leaders working to make geothermal a cornerstone of a more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future.

Position Description

The Supply Chain Manager, Power Facilities will own category strategy and execution for PowerBlock equipment and services.

This person will lead strategic sourcing, negotiation, and supplier management for the segment, build the strategic supplier relationships that drive cost and cycle time improvement as Fervo scales its GeoBlock manufacturing model. In addition to being highly strategic, a good candidate will be highly collaborative with engineering, construction, and operations, with whom they will work closely. This Supply Chain Manager, Power Facilities will report to the leader of the Supply Chain function.

Responsibilities

Own PowerBlock category strategy, including make/buy, sourcing approach, and supplier segmentation across turbines, generators, heat exchangers, balance-of-plant, and major electrical equipment.

Lead negotiations for PowerBlock equipment and services contracts, structuring commercial terms, pricing mechanisms, and incentives that protect Fervo’s cost and schedule outcomes.

Build and maintain strategic relationships with PowerBlock equipment OEMs and service providers, developing framework agreements when strategic and eliminating sole-source dependency where it makes sense to do so.

Partner with GeoBlock Engineering, Construction, and Operations from the start of design on PowerBlock equipment selection, standardization, and specification – surfacing supply chain constraints and prioritizing cost and cycle time reduction.

Manage the full procurement lifecycle for the segment: RFPs, technical and commercial evaluation, negotiation, PO issuance, and supplier performance management

Develop, track, and report on PowerBlock category KPIs – cost, cycle time, supplier performance, and risk, using that data to drive sourcing decisions.

Develop and adhere to using collaborative communication tools that keep stakeholders informed.

Identify and manage category‑specific risk, including single points of failure, long‑lead equipment exposure, and compliance considerations tied to major equipment sourcing.

Collaborate closely with the Logistics, Expediting, and D&C/Indirect pillars to keep PowerBlock sourcing decisions aligned with the broader supply chain organization rather than operating in a silo.

Partner with Strategy and Compliance to incorporate geothermal specific compliance to all necessary agreements.

Drive continuous improvement in how the category is sourced, contracted, and managed as Fervo’s deployment pace increases.
