Our flagship Cape Station development in Utah is planned to deliver 500 MW of firm, carbon-free power, and we are advancing a development pipeline of more than 50 GW. 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.

Supply Chain is not a support function here. Our job is to be embedded with Engineering early — shaping electrical equipment specs and supplier strategy before decisions are locked in, not sourcing against a finished design.

The Sourcing Manager, Electrical owns category strategy and execution for Fervo’s electrical equipment scope — transformers, breakers, switch gear, motors, drives, and balance-of-plant electrical systems. This role partners directly with Engineering on specification decisions, builds competitive supplier options where categories have historically defaulted to a single vendor, and negotiates agreements that determine both cost and schedule risk for every Geo Block.

Build and own a documented sourcing strategy for electrical equipment categories, including transformers, breakers, switch gear, motors, drives, etc.

Identify and qualify alternate suppliers to reduce single-source dependency and strengthen negotiating leverage.

Track tariff exposure and enforce domestic content requirements, and incorporate strategic principles into sourcing decisions.

Engage Engineering early on electrical equipment specifications; help identify where specs drive unnecessary cost.

Bring supplier and market insight into design reviews before requirements are finalized.

Lead commercial negotiations for electrical equipment purchases and services, from RFQ through contract execution.

Structure contracts and delivery terms that protect schedule and give Fervo visibility into supplier performance.

Manage supplier relationships and performance across the electrical equipment category post-award.

Partner with Logistics and Expediting to maintain delivery of long-lead electrical equipment by site-required installation dates.

2+ years of sourcing, procurement, or category management experience, ideally in electrical equipment, power generation, or industrial capital equipment.

5+ years in the workforce with experience designing, procuring, or maintaining electrical equipment.

Experience negotiating equipment or services contracts with meaningful commercial value.
