Sourcing Manager, Power Facilities in , United States

Job Type

Full-time
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 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 Engineering early — shaping equipment specs and supplier strategy before decisions are locked in, not sourcing against a finished design.
The Sourcing Manager, Power Facilities owns category strategy and execution for major PowerBlock equipment — air-cooled condensers, heat exchangers, feed pumps, rotating equipment, and balance-of-plant systems. This role partners directly with Engineering on specification and packaging decisions, builds competitive supplier options across the category, and negotiates agreements that hold suppliers accountable for cost, schedule, and quality.
