- Coordinate supplier onboarding and qualification (including NDAs, onboarding packets, W-9 / tax forms, insurance, banking, cybersecurity, and ethics/compliance).
- Translate nuclear QA/regulatory requirements into supplier-facing obligations and documentation requirements; coordinate audits and corrective actions with QA/Regulatory.
- Negotiate purchase order terms and commercial alignment (payment terms, LDs, warranties, limitations of liability, termination, and change provisions) with Legal support.
- Support framework agreements and repeat-buy structures for key suppliers (blanket POs, rate cards, MSAs, and long-lead reservations).
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in procurement, purchasing, supply chain operations, or procurement systems in industrial, energy, manufacturing, or capital-project environments.
- Strong hands-on capability in transactional procurement: requisition-to-PO, expediting, receiving, and invoice resolution; comfortable operating in a fast-paced build environment.
- Working knowledge of procurement and ERP systems (SAP/Oracle/JD Edwards or similar) and eSourcing tools (e.g., Ariba, Coupa, Ivalua).
- Experience running RFQs, evaluating suppliers, and managing supplier performance with measurable KPIs (quality, schedule, cost).

- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to coordinate across engineering, quality, and operations stakeholders.
- Preferred Qualifications: Experience in regulated industries (nuclear, aerospace, oil & gas) and/or implementing supplier QA programs, audits, and documentation controls.
