Procurement Manager, Owner Furnished Equipment (OFE)

Description: Position Overview 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 gas turbine generation, a 1 GW battery energy storage system, four AP1000 nuclear units, an SMR, and 345 kV transmission infrastructure across a West Texas campus that will anchor American AI compute dominance. The Procurement Manager, Owner Furnished Equipment (OFE) is a critical strategic role responsible for the procurement, logistics coordination, and delivery management of all Owner Furnished Equipment on Project Matador's power generation scope. This role owns the complete OFE lifecycle — from equipment identification and RFP issuance through commercial award, expediting, factory acceptance testing, logistics handoff, and final installation turnover to EPC contractors. You will manage some of the longest-lead, highest-risk procurements on the project, including power generation equipment, high-voltage electrical apparatus, BESS systems, and nuclear-classified components. Key Responsibilities OFE Scope Definition & Strategy Own and maintain the OFE Master Register — the authoritative list of all Owner Furnished Equipment across gas turbine generation, BESS, nuclear (AP1000, SMR), and 345 kV transmission scopes Cross-reference the OFE register against P6 MAT-OFE milestone schedule, LinkSquares contract database, and Oracle Fusion AP to identify procurement gaps and critical-path equipment items Develop and maintain the OFE procurement strategy, including make/buy decisions, packaging logic, sole-source justifications, and long-lead procurement triggers RFP Execution & Commercial Award Lead end-to-end RFP processes for major OFE packages including power transformers, GIS switchgear, gas turbine auxiliaries, BESS/inverter systems, nuclear-classified components, and balance-of-plant electrical apparatus Develop commercial bid packages, technical evaluation scorecards, BAFO processes, and award recommendations — coordinating with Legal Council Negotiate commercial terms, delivery schedules, performance guarantees, liquidated damages, and OEM service agreements with major equipment suppliers including Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, and Tier-1 BESS/inverter OEMs Manage sole-source and directed-award processes for nuclear-classified equipment in compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B quality assurance requirements Contract & Delivery Management Administer active OFE supply contracts in Oracle Fusion, maintaining accurate PO status, milestone payment schedules, and delivery forecasts tied to Unifier cash flow curves Execute proactive expediting programs for long-lead equipment — tracking OEM manufacturing progress, raw material procurement, and shop fabrication against contracted delivery milestones Manage Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) programs, coordinating witness events with the Owner and EPC contractors Manage change orders, technical deviation requests, and commercial claims with OEM suppliers — maintaining complete documentation in Aconex Track and enforce OEM warranty obligations, spare parts commitments, and O&M documentation deliverables Logistics & Site Delivery Coordination Coordinate the logistics handoff of OFE from OEM delivery point through site receipt, inspection, and turnover to EPC contractors — working closely with the freight forwarding and customs brokerage supply chain Manage OFE receiving and inspection protocols at the Amarillo site, including documentation of non-conformances and coordination of warranty repair/replacement Track OFE storage, preservation, and handling requirements for sensitive equipment (power transformers, nuclear components, BESS modules) Support nuclear import compliance for 10 CFR Part 110 equipment, coordinating with the customs broker and Haynes & Boone on NRC export/import licensing Cross-Functional Collaboration Int…
