Warehouse & Materials Technician
About The Position
Fervo is building the most cost-effective, repeatable power plants in the world, unlocking 24/7 carbon-free energy from geothermal. Delivering on that mission at Cape Station requires disciplined materials management — the right equipment, in the right place, at the right time, to keep construction, commissioning, and operations moving without delay. The Warehouse & Materials Technician is the backbone of that discipline on site. As Cape Station scales from first-of-a-kind demonstration into fleet-scale production, the warehouse function becomes mission-critical: every crew depends on materials being received, verified, stored, and staged correctly and on schedule. This role owns that reliability day to day — unloading deliveries, operating material-handling equipment, maintaining accurate inventory records, and making sure the right parts are always available when the plant needs them. The Warehouse & Materials Technician supports the safe and efficient receipt, handling, storage, tracking, and distribution of equipment and materials at Cape Station. This hands-on role is responsible for unloading deliveries, verifying shipments, operating material-handling equipment, maintaining accurate inventory records, and ensuring materials are properly stored and available to support construction, commissioning, maintenance, and plant operations. The successful candidate will be safety-focused, dependable, organized, and comfortable working in an active industrial environment.
