Do you want to join a global leader in renewable energy infrastructure? If so, CIP Terra Technologies is currently looking for a Senior Procurement Manager to join our team in the US.

The Senior Procurement Manager will become part of the Americas Procurement team, reporting to the VP Procurement, Americas, and supporting the development and execution of large-scale renewable energy projects across the Americas.

The role works closely with Development, Engineering, Construction, Investment, and Legal teams to ensure procurement strategies align with project timelines, financing requirements, and long-term asset value.

Role This role is focused on CAPEX Equipment procurement for Solar PV (modules and BoS), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and High Voltage (HV) equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, etc. The position is purely procurement-focused, with responsibility for commercial strategy, supplier engagement, and contract negotiation across a portfolio of projects.

The preferred location for the role is Chicago or Houston; however, we are open to considering candidates based in other locations.

• Develop and implement CAPEX procurement strategies aligned with project development schedules and portfolio priorities
• Oversee the full sourcing process, from RFIs and RFPs through bid assessment, negotiation, and contract award

• Identify, evaluate, and manage strategic suppliers across Solar PV, BESS, and HV equipment
• Manage contracting for supply agreements, service agreements, and relevant framework agreements
• Coordinate with Legal and Engineering teams on risk allocation, LDs, technical guarantees, and contract interfaces
• Review project cost structures and promote cost optimization across key packages

The ideal candidate has a bachelor’s degree in engineering, supply chain, business, or a related field with 6–10+ years of experience in procurement, commercial, or contract management roles, including experience procuring CAPEX equipment within renewable energy. You have demonstrated the ability to manage complex sourcing and negotiations for high-value packages, and bring solid commercial judgment with experience in risk allocation and contract structuring.

Moreover, you are a highly responsible and motivated individual who is thriving in a highly effective and innovative environment.

• Experience in Solar PV, BESS, or HV procurement is strongly preferred, as is a working understanding of PV, BESS, and/or HV systems.
• Structured, methodical, and detail-oriented
• Effective stakeholder management and communications skills
• Ability to work effectively in a changing, partially defined environment
• Commercial judgment and risk-based decision-making
• Ability to balance cost optimization with long-term asset performance
