Senior Expeditor

Fervo Energy • Houston, TX

6d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Senior Expeditor owns the schedule-side view of procurement across Fervo Energy’s active project portfolio. The role builds and maintains the master delivery timeline, tracks critical-path packages from award through fabrication and shipment, and surfaces risks to leadership before they threaten project milestones. This is a senior, largely autonomous position that manages a complex portfolio of purchase orders and vendor commitments aligned with the integrated project schedule, exercises independent judgment about packages that affect cycle time and well cost, and mentors less experienced expeditors and coordinators. The Senior Expeditor works closely with Engineering, Construction, Logistics, and Field Operations, represents Supply Chain in cross-functional planning discussions, and influences stakeholders without direct authority.

The position is eligible for some hybrid flexibility and requires regular in-office presence in Houston. The role follows a hybrid schedule, with employees expected to work in the office three days per week; Fervo considers this schedule an essential function of the role.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, business, engineering, or a related field, or 10+ years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree.
• 7+ years of experience in expediting, procurement, scheduling, or supply chain project management, including experience managing complex, multi-vendor portfolios.
• Advanced working knowledge of project scheduling tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, or similar, and ERP/procurement platforms.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring or informally leading junior team members.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in oilfield services, upstream or downstream oil and gas, geothermal, energy, construction, manufacturing, or other heavy industrial supply chains, including material management, ideally in a multi-project or program environment.
• Deep familiarity with Incoterms, freight logistics, and HSE requirements for material handling.
• Experience building or scaling manufacturing-mode or repeatable project delivery models.
• Experience presenting risk and schedule recommendations directly to senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• Own and reissue the consolidated procurement and delivery schedule across active packages, serving as the primary Supply Chain escalation point for schedule conflicts.
• Track open purchase orders against the master schedule, flag deviations from committed delivery dates early, and drive corrective action plans through to closure.
• Lead recurring check-ins with vendors and freight carriers to validate schedule commitments and drive corrective action; escalate systemic vendor performance issues to the Procurement Manager with a recommended path forward.
• Own dependency tracking among vendor drawings, engineering approvals, fabrication milestones, and site readiness; resolve conflicts before they affect downstream work and implement preventive process improvements.
• Escalate delivery and schedule risks to senior leadership and project stakeholders with recommended paths forward, including cost and schedule trade-off analysis.
• Maintain and continuously improve supplier performance reporting, including on-time delivery, lead times, and fill rates, to inform future award and scheduling decisions.
• Keep order status, delivery milestones, and supplier correspondence.
• Mentor and provide day-to-day guidance to junior expeditors and procurement coordinators.
• Drive continuous improvement of expediting processes, tools, and reporting standards across the Supply Chain function.
