• Resolve high-level supplier disputes, quality issues, or delivery escalations.
  
  

Schedule Planning & Management

• Develop and maintain master supply schedules for multi-GW deployments, ensuring supplier manufacturing slots are locked and aligned with construction timelines.
• Proactively identify schedule risks (e.g., material shortages, production bottlenecks, logistics delays) and drive mitigation plans.
• Monitor supplier progress against production schedules and report status to internal stakeholders (project management, leadership).
• Coordinate with logistics to ensure equipment readiness matches site readiness.
  
  

Vendor Qualification

• Maintain an approved vendor list (AVL) for critical equipment categories.
• Assess supplier manufacturing facilities, quality systems (ISO 9001, etc.), and production capacity.
  
  

Vendor Auditing (QCDS)

• Plan and execute annual QCDS (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Sustainability) audits for strategic suppliers.
• Conduct on-site factory audits to verify QA/QC processes, production controls, and safety standards.
• Develop supplier scorecards and drive corrective action plans for underperforming vendors.
• Audit supplier subcontractors and critical component sub-suppliers as needed.
  
  

Strategic Sourcing & Contract Management

• Lead long-term frame agreement negotiations (pricing, terms, capacity guarantees, liquidated damages).
• Secure strategic capacity locking for long-lead equipment across multiple project phases.
• Drive cost reduction initiatives through value engineering, should-cost analysis, and competitive benchmarking.
  
  

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering (Electrical/Mechanical), or Business.
• 10+ years in strategic sourcing, supplier management, or procurement for data centre, industrial infrastructure, or high-tech manufacturing.
• Proven track record of managing large-volume contracts and multi-GW supplier coordination.
• Deep knowledge of electrical or mechanical equipment supply chains (transformers, UPS, MV/LV switchgear, gensets, chillers, cooling towers, CRAH units, CDUs).
• Strong experience in vendor qualification and supplier auditing (ISO standards, QA/QC, factory audits).

• Willing to travel to supplier factories domestically and internationally.
