ReNuke Services, Inc. is seeking an experienced Senior Procurement Specialist to support a long-term advanced nuclear energy project. This position will work as part of an integrated project team supporting procurement, supplier coordination, and delivery of engineered equipment and services for a first-of-a-kind nuclear construction program.
Location: Remote
Travel: Periodic travel may be required
Employment: Full-Time, Contingent Project Assignment
Duration: 6- 8 Months with potential for extension
Position Summary
The Senior Procurement Specialist will support procurement activities associated with major engineered equipment, components, materials, and services. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, project controls, contracts, suppliers, and project leadership to ensure procurement activities remain aligned with technical requirements, project schedules, budgets, and contractual commitments.
This position is well suited for someone with experience supporting nuclear, DOE, EPC, power generation, industrial construction, or other highly regulated capital projects.
Key Responsibilities
* Coordinate procurement activities for engineered equipment, materials, components, and project services.
* Support procurement planning from requisition development through solicitation, evaluation, award, delivery, and closeout.
* Coordinate with engineering and technical teams to ensure procurement packages contain complete and accurate technical requirements.
* Develop and/or support RFQs, RFPs, bid evaluations, purchase orders, subcontracts, and procurement documentation.
* Track supplier commitments, fabrication milestones, documentation, delivery dates, and procurement schedules.
* Monitor procurement activities against project schedules and identify potential delays or supplier performance concerns.
* Coordinate technical and commercial interfaces between suppliers, engineering, project management, contracts, quality, and project controls.
* Participate in supplier meetings, status reviews, kickoffs, and progress discussions.
* Support resolution of supplier issues, changes, documentation requirements, and schedule impacts.
* Assist with cost tracking, forecasting, change management, and procurement reporting.
* Maintain accurate procurement records and ensure activities comply with applicable project procedures, contractual requirements, and quality expectations.
* Support supplier performance monitoring and corrective actions when required.
* Provide procurement status and risk information to project leadership.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is more than a transactional buyer. We are looking for someone who understands how engineering, procurement, supplier performance, cost, and schedule come together on a complex project.
Successful candidates will be comfortable working across engineering and commercial teams, communicating directly with suppliers, identifying procurement risks before they impact the project, and driving equipment and material commitments through delivery.
