GE Vernova•Atlanta, GA

16h•$149,400 - $248,900

About The Position

The US Project Procurement Leader will build, lead, and scale the project procurement capability supporting advanced nuclear power plant projects in the United States. Initially, the role will establish the operating model, sourcing approach, governance, and cross-functional execution rhythms needed for successful project delivery and program growth. Over time, it is expected to expand into broader leadership responsibility for aligning procurement execution across a portfolio of U.S. SMR projects. The leader will oversee procurement across major equipment, fabricated and machined components, engineered systems, construction-related supply and services, and other critical materials and services required for U.S. nuclear plant delivery. The role brings full project procurement requirements into a cohesive approach that supports schedule performance, controls cost, mitigates risk, and delivers the best total cost for customers. Success requires execution discipline, commercial acumen, supplier leadership, and effectiveness in a complex matrix organization. The leader will drive day-to-day project outcomes, resolve escalations, influence cross-functional teams without direct authority, and establish a procurement foundation for long-term U.S. program growth. The role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information; final offers, if applicable, are contingent on authorization from the U.S. Government. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Offers are conditioned on successful completion of a drug screen, as applicable. Shortlisted candidates may be subject to heightened security checks because the role involves a client's critical infrastructure.
