  • Support vendor qualification and oversight aligned with nuclear supplier quality expectations
  • Drive supplier performance management, cost-reduction initiatives, and continuity-of-supply planning
  • Partner with Finance on capital equipment budgeting, forecasting, and purchase commitments
  • Support import/export and trade compliance considerations for international procurement

    • Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience procuring long-lead, safety-critical, or ASME-code components
  • Track record building or scaling a procurement function and leading a team, ideally in an early-stage or rapidly growing environment
