Program Manager – Supply Chain Management

The base salary range for this position is dependent upon experience and location, ranging from $116,640 to $145,800.

Job Summary

The Program Manager – Supply Chain Management leads the end-to-end supply chain strategy and execution for major transmission, substation, and grid-modernization projects across NYSEG and RG&E within the Powering New York (PNY) capital portfolio. This role integrates engineering, procurement, logistics, and risk/contract management to ensure on-time, cost-effective, and compliant delivery of critical materials and equipment—transformers, breakers, steel structures, control buildings, cable/conductor, protection & control systems, and specialty items with long lead times.

The position owns logistics orchestration from source to site (Incoterms selection, customs/import/export compliance, transportation planning, storage/preservation, yard and stores handling, environmental controls, and warranty safeguarding) and partners closely with Engineering, Project Management, Construction, Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, Environmental/Permitting, and Project Controls. The Program Manager ensures that supply-chain risk, contingency usage, and management-reserve needs are visible at program/portfolio level, preventing production disruptions and CAPEX under-delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Supply Chain Strategy & Governance

• Develop and lead portfolio-level supply chain strategies for PNY (make/buy, framework agreements, LTA/blanket POs, dual sourcing, OEM qualification, repair/refurbishment vs. new build) aligned with AVANGRID standards and NYSEG/RG&E needs.
• Establish governance for sourcing, category management, logistics, and inbound quality—including KPIs, OTIF/OTD, supplier scorecards, and performance reviews.

Engineering, Planning & Sourcing Integration

• Translate engineering BOMs, drawing packages, and equipment specifications into sourcing wave plans, ensuring alignment with design maturity (FEL/gate) and construction/outage sequences.
• Coordinate with Principal Engineer – Cost Engineering to align BoQ/MTO/WBS structures with RFQs, bid tabs, schedules of values, and measurable pay items; ensure clean traceability from design to contracts and field progress.
• Work with the Program Manager – Cost Management and Project Controls to lock material forecasts, cash-flow curves, and contingency/management-reserve triggers driven by supply and logistics risk.

Commercial & Contract Management (Pre ‑ and Post ‑ Award)

• Design commercial strategies and Incoterms (EXW, FCA, FOB, DAP, DDP, etc.) that optimize risk allocation (title/insurance, transport risk, customs responsibilities) and total landed cost.
• Lead pre-award activities—market soundings, RFP/RFQ events, technical/commercial clarifications, T&Cs negotiation (liquidated damages, incentives, warranties, spares, preservation requirements, delivery milestones).
• Oversee post-award contract management—expediting, change control, claims/LD management, performance recovery, warranty administration, and closeout.

Global Logistics & Customs Compliance

• Own end-to-end logistics orchestration: route surveys, heavy-haul permitting, multimodal transport (road/rail/barge/port/air), carrier selection, packaging/crating, and in-transit risk controls (shock/tilt/temperature monitoring).
• Manage customs and trade compliance (HTS classification, valuation, country-of-origin, duties/tariffs, free-trade agreements, import licenses, broker governance); ensure compliant documentation and timely clearance to avoid demurrage and delays.
• Implement insurance and risk coverage (cargo, storage, marine, builder's risk) aligned with Incoterms and contract obligations.

Warehousing, Yards/Stores & Preservation

• Design and govern laydown yards and stores operations: receiving, inspection, tagging, inventory accuracy, kitting, staging, and sequencing to work fronts; integrate with SAP materials management and site progress in P6.
• Define and enforce preservation & storage programs by equipment class (e.g., nitrogen blanketing, desiccants, space heaters, shaft rotation, oil sampling, partial energization, corrosion control), with OEM-aligned…
