About the role

  • This is not a transactional purchasing role.
  • This role is ideal for: someone who is equal parts technical and commercial: you can run disciplined RFQs and clarification cycles, force "apples-to-apples" comparability, and translate vendor inputs into decision-grade recommendation packages.
  • Orenda's Project Execution Division is responsible for taking projects from late-stage development through commercial readiness and into safe, predictable construction delivery.

Responsibilities

  • Long-Lead Procurement Strategy: Own procurement strategy for long-lead and high-impact packages (e.g., switchgear, transformers, breakers, enclosures, fire/life safety, SCADA/EMS-facing components) aligned to project milestones and the critical path.
  • Project Procurement Planning: Build and maintain the procurement plan per project, including scope definition, vendor list, Request for Qualification (RFQ) calendar and decision points, submittal requirements and review path, and manufacturing/logistics plan to site.
  • Competitive Sourcing + Vendor Selection: Lead RFQs, RFI/clarification cycles, bid leveling, and recommendation packages.
  • Technical-Commercial Alignment: Drive technical clarification cycles with vendors and ensure submittals are decision-grade (complete, traceable, and aligned to the approved spec/config baseline) before Purchase Order (PO) release.
  • Global Market Inputs (International Procurement): Track relevant commodity indices, tariffs, and FX rates that impact equipment pricing and lead times.
  • Lead-Time + Delivery Risk Management: Maintain a forward-looking view of manufacturing slots, vendor commitments, and logistics constraints. Track slippages, surface risks early, and drive mitigation and expediting plans for schedule threats.
  • Pipeline Demand vs Capacity: Maintain a portfolio view of pipeline demand by package and reconcile against vendor capacity so capacity is reserved ahead of release.
  • Partner with Pre-construction and Cost Control to align RFQs to cost-code/BoQ structures so bids normalize cleanly into budgets.

Requirements

  • Experience supporting procurement of MV electrical packages in dense-urban projects (tight delivery windows, rigging constraints, utility/AHJ interface).

Skills

  • BESS procurement experience (battery OEM, PCS, switchgear/protection, thermal, fire systems).
  • NYC / dense-urban logistics constraints experience.
  • Extremely organized, process-oriented, and disciplined about document control.
  • Proactive risk management mindset (surfaces issues early with clear options and recommended mitigations).
  • Comfortable driving clarity across internal teams and external vendors without overstepping contracting authority.
  • Strong writing and executive communication skills (clear recommendation memos and decision packages).
