Our mission is to transform geothermal into America’s most dependable and affordable source of clean, around-the-clock power. By combining innovations in horizontal drilling, fiber-optic sensing, and advanced reservoir engineering, Fervo has developed a repeatable approach to building utility-scale enhanced geothermal systems. 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.\nPosition Description\nThe Senior Expeditor owns the schedule-side view of procurement across Fervo’s active project portfolio - building and maintaining the master delivery timeline, tracking critical-path packages from award through fabrication and shipment, and surfacing risk to leadership before it threatens a project milestone.\nThis is a senior, largely autonomous role that works closely with Engineering, Construction, Logistics, and Field Operations, and represents Supply Chain directly in cross-functional planning discussions. The right person manages a large, complex portfolio of purchase orders and vendor commitments aligned to the integrated project schedule, exercises independent judgment on which packages matter most to cycle time and well cost, and mentors less experienced expeditors and coordinators. Success requires strong schedule ownership, structured status reporting, sound escalation judgment, and the ability to influence engineering, procurement, and field stakeholders without direct authority.\nResponsibilities\nOwn and reissue the consolidated procurement and delivery schedule across active packages, serving as the primary point of escalation for schedule conflicts within Supply Chain.\n\nTrack open purchase orders against the master schedule, flag deviations from committed delivery dates early, and drive corrective action plans through to closure.\n\nLead recurring check-ins with vendors and freight carriers to validate schedule commitments and drive corrective action; escalate systemic vendor performance issues to the Procurement Manager with a recommended path forward.\n\nOwn dependency tracking between vendor drawings, engineering approvals, fabrication milestones, and site readiness - resolving conflicts before they cascade downstream and implementing process improvements to prevent recurrence.\n\nEscalate delivery and schedule risk to senior leadership and project stakeholders with a recommended path forward, including cost and schedule trade-off analysis.\n\nMaintain and continuously improve supplier performance reporting - on-time delivery, lead times, fill rates - to inform future award and scheduling decisions.\n\nKeep order status, delivery milestones, and supplier correspondence.\n\nMentor and provide day-to-day guidance to junior expeditors and procurement coordinators.\n\nDrive continuous improvement of expediting processes, tools, and reporting standards across the Supply Chain function.\n\nQualifications\nRequired\nBachelor’s degree in supply chain, business, engineering, or a related field; or 10+ years relevant experience considered.\n\n7+ years of experience in expediting, procurement, scheduling, or supply chain project management, including experience managing complex, multi-vendor portfolios.\n\nAdvanced working knowledge of project scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar) and ERP/procurement platforms.\n\nDemonstrated experience mentoring or informally leading junior team members.\n\nPreferred\nExperience in oilfield services, upstream / downstream oil and gas, geothermal, energy, construction, manufacturing, or other heavy industrial supply chains, including material management, ideally in a multi-project or program environment\n\nDeep familiarity with Incoterms, freight logistics, and HSE requirements for material handling.\n\nExperience building or scaling manufacturing-mode or repeatable project delivery models.\n\nExperience presenting risk and schedule recommendations directly to senior leadership.\n\nWho Thrives at Fervo\nWe screen for attributes as much as experience. The people who do best here share a few things in common:\nFirst-principles thinkers who question industry norms.\n\nExtreme ownership mindset.\n\nBias for speed and iteration.\n\nSimplifiers who cut complexity.\n\nCollaborators who see supply chain and the business as inseparable.\n\nMission-driven.\n\nLocation\nFervo Energy has offices in Houston, TX, Golden, CO, Reno, NV, Oakland, CA, and Salt Lake City, UT.
