Project Matador Buyer

Fermi America is developing Project Matador — one of the most ambitious power generation and data center programs in U.S. history. The project spans multi-gigawatt F-Class gas turbine generation, a 1 GW battery energy storage system, 345 kV transmission infrastructure, and approximately 14 million square feet of data center campus across a West Texas site spanning roughly 7,000 acres.

The Buyer is an entry-level, salaried position within the Procurement & Supply Chain organization, responsible for issuing and managing purchase orders in Oracle Fusion and for expediting the delivery of materials, equipment, and services critical to the Project Matador construction schedule. This role reviews and processes approved requisitions into purchase orders and blanket order releases, confirms order acknowledgment and commercial terms with suppliers, and then actively tracks and expedites those orders through fabrication, shipment, and delivery.

The Buyer works across assigned commodity and vendor categories — rather than a single dedicated portfolio — and serves as a day-to-day point of contact between Procurement, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to keep material flow aligned with the project schedule. The position reports to the Director of Procurement.
