Job description

The Warehouse & Materials Technician supports the safe and efficient receipt, handling, storage, tracking, and distribution of equipment and materials at Cape Station.

Fervo is building the most cost-effective, repeatable power plants in the world, unlocking 24/7 carbon-free energy from geothermal. Delivering on that mission at Cape Station requires disciplined materials management - the right equipment, in the right place, at the right time, to keep construction, commissioning, and operations moving without delay.

Description

The Warehouse & Materials Technician is the backbone of that discipline on site. As Cape Station scales from first-of-a-kind demonstration into fleet-scale production, the warehouse function becomes mission-critical: every crew depends on materials being received, verified, stored, and staged correctly and on schedule. This role owns that reliability day to day - unloading deliveries, operating material-handling equipment, maintaining accurate inventory records, and making sure the right parts are always available when the plant needs them.

The Warehouse & Materials Technician supports the safe and efficient receipt, handling, storage, tracking, and distribution of equipment and materials at Cape Station. This hands-on role is responsible for unloading deliveries, verifying shipments, operating material-handling equipment, maintaining accurate inventory records, and ensuring materials are properly stored and available to support construction, commissioning, maintenance, and plant operations.

The successful candidate will be safety-focused, dependable, organized, and comfortable working in an active industrial environment.

Responsibilities

• Receive, unload, inspect, and stage incoming materials, equipment, and packages.
• Verify shipments against purchase orders, packing slips, bills of lading, and other receiving documentation.
• Identify and promptly report shortages, overages, damaged materials, or incorrect shipments.
• Document receipt of materials in the applicable inventory-management system, spreadsheet, or receiving log.
• Label, tag, photograph, and properly store received materials.
• Operate forklifts, pallet jacks, and other material-handling equipment safely and in accordance with site requirements.
• Pick, stage, and issue materials for construction, commissioning, maintenance, and operations personnel.
• Maintain accurate inventory counts and material-location records.
• Support cycle counts, physical inventories, and reconciliation of inventory discrepancies.
• Assist with tracking critical spares, consumables, tools, and owner-furnished equipment.
• Coordinate with site personnel to prioritize urgent or time-sensitive deliveries.
• Maintain organized warehouse, laydown, and receiving areas using established housekeeping and material-preservation standards.
• Ensure materials are protected from weather, contamination, damage, and deterioration.
• Maintain receiving records, equipment inspection logs, and other required documentation.
• Support outbound shipments, returns, transfers, and material disposition activities.
• Follow all site safety requirements, including required personal protective equipment, traffic plans, lifting procedures, and equipment inspections.
• Participate in daily safety meetings, job hazard analyses, and other site-required training.
• Perform other warehouse and material-control duties as assigned.

Minimum Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• At least one year of warehouse, receiving, inventory, logistics, construction, manufacturing, or industrial-site experience.
• Experience operating a forklift and pallet jack; current forklift certification is preferred.
• Ability to read and reconcile packing slips, purchase orders, bills of lading, and material lists.
• Basic computer skills, including email, spreadsheets, and electronic inventory or receiving systems.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate recordkeeping.
• Ability to communicate effectively with warehouse personnel, contractors, vendors, and site teams.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to pass all required site-access, safety, and contractor onboarding requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting power generation, construction, commissioning, manufacturing, oil and gas, or another heavy-industrial operation.
• Familiarity with inventory-management, ERP, CMMS, or procurement systems.
• Experience handling mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, piping, or maintenance materials.
• Familiarity with material preservation, hazardous-material handling, and industrial warehouse practices.
• OSHA 10 or equivalent safety training.

Physical & Work Requirements

• Ability to routinely lift and carry materials weighing up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, reach, climb, and perform physical work for extended periods.
• Ability to work indoors and outdoors in varying weather and temperature conditions.
• Ability to safely work around moving equipment, delivery vehicles, construction activities, and operating plant equipment.
• Ability to wear required personal protective equipment, including hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, high-visibility clothing, and safety-toe footwear.

Performance Expectations

Success in this position will be measured by:

• Safe and incident-free material-handling activities.
• Timely and accurate receipt of deliveries.
• Accurate inventory quantities and material-location records.
• Prompt identification and escalation of damaged, missing, or incorrect materials.
• Effective support of site construction, commissioning, maintenance, and operational priorities.
• Clean, organized, and properly maintained warehouse and laydown areas.
