Expeditor

TheExpeditorowns the delivery schedule for the materials, components, and equipment that keep Fervo’s projects moving.

Fervo Energy is applying first-principles engineering and a manufacturing mindset to geothermal power, an industry that has operated the same way for decades. Rather than deploying one-off energy projects, we are building standardized, repeatable GeoBlocks – units of geothermal power generation – designed to get cheaper, faster, and more reliable with every iteration.

At Fervo, Supply Chain is a highly strategic function that acts as a core driver of our GeoBlock manufacturing process.

Description

The Expeditor owns the delivery schedule for the materials, components, and equipment that keep Fervo’s projects moving. They build and maintain the master delivery timeline, track critical packages from award through fabrication and shipment, and surface risk before it threatens a drilling program or project milestone. the planning, coordination, and on-time delivery of materials, components, and equipment across Fervo’s active project portfolio. This mid-level role owns the schedule-side view of procurement — building and maintaining the master delivery timeline, tracking critical-path packages from award through fabrication and shipment, and surfacing risks to leadership before they threaten a drilling program or project milestone.

This role works closely with Engineering, Construction, Logistics, and Field Operations. The right person keeps a large portfolio of purchase orders and vendor commitments aligned to the integrated project schedule and has the judgment to know which packages actually matter to cycle time and well cost.: the Expeditor works across procurement, engineering, logistics, and field operations to keep a portfolio of purchase orders and vendor commitments aligned to an integrated project schedule. Success requires strong schedule ownership, structured status reporting, and the judgment to prioritize the packages that matter most to overall project timelines and well costs.

Responsibilities

• Own and reissue the consolidated procurement and delivery schedule across active packages
• Track open purchase orders against the master schedule and flag deviations from committed delivery dates early
• Run recurring check-ins with vendors and freight carriers to validate schedule commitments and drive corrective action
• Track dependencies between vendor drawings, engineering approvals, fabrication milestones, and site readiness, and resolve conflicts before they cascade downstream
• Escalate delivery and schedule risk to the Procurement Manager and project stakeholders with a recommended path forward
• Support field teams during active drilling campaigns, prioritizing material needs by operational urgency and non-productive-time risk
• Maintain supplier performance reporting — on-time, delivery, lead times, filling rates — to inform future award and scheduling decisions
• Keep order status, delivery milestones, and supplier correspondence current in Fervo’s ERP and procurement systems

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, business, engineering, or a related field; equivalent oilfield or energy supply chain experience considered
• 3+ years of experience in expediting, procurement, scheduling, or supply chain project management
• Working knowledge of project scheduling tools (Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar) and ERP/procurement platforms

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in oilfield services, upstream / downstream oil and gas, geothermal, or heavy industrial supply chains
• Familiarity with Incoterms, freight logistics, and HSE requirements for material handling
• Exposure to manufacturing-mode or repeatable project delivery models
