About This Job
The Procurement Manager – IPP Business owns all sourcing, contracting, and supplier-relationship activities that underpin our generation-asset pipeline (solar, BESS, and hybrid projects). You will secure equipment, construction, and O&M services that meet strict project-finance, PPA, and tax-credit requirements while driving long-term total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) savings for the operating portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
•
Category & Sourcing Strategy
•
Build multi-year sourcing roadmaps for major CAPEX items (PV modules, inverters, batteries, trackers, HV equipment) aligned with pipeline forecasts and COD milestones.
•
Track commodity indices (lithium, polysilicon, steel), tariffs, and IRA domestic-content rules to optimize timing and structure of purchases.
•
Supplier & OEM Management
•
Qualify OEMs/contractors against technical specs, bankability lists, ESG criteria, and warranty reliability data.
•
Negotiate framework agreements securing price locks, delivery slots, performance guarantees, and wrap-around warranties covering 20-year PPA terms.
•
Contract & Risk Negotiation
•
Lead commercial negotiation of turbine/BESS supply agreements, EPC subcontracts, and long-term service agreements (LTSAs), coordinating with Legal, Insurance, and Project Finance.
•
Embed liquidated-damage regimes, step-in rights, and tax-credit compliance clauses (ITC, PTC) to de-risk financing.
•
Project-Finance Interface
•
Support term-sheet, model, and DD processes with lenders, providing cost assumptions, supplier credit data, and milestone schedules.
•
Ensure procurement packages satisfy lender technical advisor (LTA) and independent engineer (IE) requirements.
•
Logistics & Delivery Execution
•
Oversee Incoterms strategy, import/export compliance, and route-to-site logistics for oversized cargo and hazardous-class batteries.
•
Track manufacturing progress, factory acceptance tests (FATs), shipments, customs clearance, and site deliveries in NetSuite.
•
Portfolio O&M Support
•
Source spares, consumables, and corrective-maintenance services across operating assets to meet availability KPIs and warranty obligations.
•
Manage end-of-life repowering and recycling contracts for PV modules and batteries.
•
Process & Continuous Improvement
•
Maintain ERP data integrity; publish monthly procurement dashboards (budget vs. actual, cost-avoidance, supplier scorecards).
•
Champion Lean/Six-Sigma initiatives to compress cycle times and reduce working capital tied up in inventory.
Requirements
•
Bachelor’s in Supply Chain, Engineering, or Business; MBA or relevant master’s a plus.
•
8+ years strategic procurement experience, with 4+ years in renewable-energy or IPP environments (utility-scale solar, wind, BESS, or gas peakers).
•
Proven record negotiating $50 M+ supply/EPC contracts and supporting non-recourse project financing.
•
Strong grasp of PPA structures, IRA tax-credit rules, Incoterms, import tariffs, and export controls.
•
ERP proficiency (NetSuite preferred) and advanced Excel/BI skills for cost modelling.
•
Excellent negotiation, analytical, and cross-functional communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
•
CPSM, CIPS, or PMP certification.
•
Experience with domestic-content compliance, Section 48C/45X incentives, and Buy-American provisions.
•
Familiarity with ISO 55001 asset-management standards.
