• Strong analytical skills with the ability to build and interpret cost estimates, inventory models, and vendor comparisons in Excel or similar tools.
• Excellent organizational skills with a high attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for vendor negotiations and cross-functional coordination.

• Experience with Incoterms, freight logistics, and LTL/FTL shipment coordination.
• Knowledge of NFPA 70E, LOTO, or other safety standards relevant to electrical equipment handling.
• Experience supporting multi-site field operations teams.

Responsibilities

• Manage relationships with third-party warehouse operators and 3PL providers responsible for storing ON.energy spare parts inventory.
• Evaluate and onboard new warehouse or 3PL contractors as ON.energy’s project portfolio expands.
• Develop and maintain storage consumption estimates (cubic footage, pallet counts, weight, throughput) to support RFQ processes with 3PL providers.
• Solicit, evaluate, and negotiate storage quotes from prospective 3PL partners; present cost comparisons and recommendations to leadership.
• Ensure SLAs for receiving, storage, and outbound shipment are met by all logistics partners.
• Solicit and manage quotes from OEM vendors, suppliers, and distributors for spare parts across BESS system components (inverters, transformers, DC combiner cabinets, battery modules, and related electrical equipment).
• Maintain a vendor matrix with pricing, lead times, and availability data to support proactive procurement decisions.
• Issue purchase orders, track deliveries, and reconcile received goods against orders in coordination with finance and field teams.
• Identify and develop alternative sourcing channels to reduce lead times and mitigate supply chain risk.
• Develop and maintain a site-level spare parts strategy that aligns inventory levels with O&M maintenance plans, OEM warranty obligations, and uptime targets.
• Establish and track minimum stock levels (min/max) for critical components to minimize unplanned downtime across all project sites.
• Maintain accurate inventory records in the CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), ensuring visibility into on-hand quantities, storage locations, and replenishment triggers.

• Collaborate with the O&M Manager and Field Service Technicians to anticipate parts demand based on scheduled maintenance, failure trends, and seasonal considerations.
