This Procurement Administrator role manages the full lifecycle of direct and indirect purchases — from sourcing suppliers and negotiating terms to administering purchase agreements — ensuring America's first advanced nuclear fuel fabrication facility secures the goods and services it needs, when it needs them, at the right cost and with the compliance rigor a DOE-regulated, NQA-1 environment demands. You'll be the operational link between TRISO-X's internal stakeholders (engineering, manufacturing, quality, project controls) and the external supply base, identifying sources that meet X-energy's exacting specifications, negotiating terms and conditions that balance cost and compliance, and managing vendor relationships through delivery, invoicing, and closeout. This role requires someone who thrives in fast-paced procurement environments where every purchase order carries nuclear quality and programmatic consequences — you'll coordinate across functions to understand technical requirements, vet suppliers for capability and reliability, ensure purchase agreements flow down the proper contract clauses (FAR/DEAR, NQA-1, ITAR/ECI as applicable), track order status and delivery performance, resolve invoicing and payment issues, and maintain the organized procurement records that withstand audit scrutiny. Whether you're sourcing critical long-lead materials, securing specialty services, or managing high-volume indirect purchases, you'll bring the procurement discipline and attention to detail that keeps TRISO-X's first-of-a-kind fuel production mission on schedule and on budget.
