Is this your next sourcing challenge?

Do you thrive at the intersection of engineering rigor and supplier strategy? Can you navigate pre-PO planning and post-PO performance to deliver mission-critical components on schedule, on budget, and to exacting quality standards? If so, you may be the Strategic Sourcing Engineer we’re looking for.

Role snapshot

  • Scope: Own procurement activities for Energy Systems across pre-PO and post-PO phases.
  • Impact: Lead large procurement projects; standardize approaches; drive predictable delivery during execution.
  • Collaboration: Work with Global Supply Chain Solutions (GSCS) to define charters, quantify benefits, align resources, monitor project health, remove roadblocks, and escalate risks.
  • Location: Cranberry Township, PA (hybrid) | Travel: up to 20% | Reporting: Nuclear Island Delivery Manager

What problems will you solve?

  • How do we convert demand signals into executable sourcing plans with the Offer and Project Teams?
  • Which suppliers are best positioned—financially and operationally—to meet our needs today and scale tomorrow?
  • What negotiation strategy yields optimal price, delivery, and terms for complex, specialized components?
  • Where can we unlock cost improvements across commodity groups without compromising quality?
  • How do we manage post-award changes—entitlement, cost basis, and contract terms—in SAP with rigor and speed?

Core responsibilities

  • Approve safety-related requisitions.
  • Coordinate RFx activities and set supplier/service sourcing strategies.
  • Solicit and evaluate quotes; analyze proposals; lead negotiations for pricing, delivery, and T&Cs.
  • Develop supplier intelligence: financial stability, goals, footprint, capacity, key customers, and competitors; brief Supply Chain on capacity/performance and market constraints.
  • Drive post-PO supplier performance and commitments; lead change/contract management; negotiate and document changes in SAP.

What you’ll bring

  • BS in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace, or Chemical).
  • 4+ years of procurement engineering experience with structural components.
  • PMP a plus.
  • International sourcing experience for nuclear projects; knowledge of ASME NQA-1 or ASME III preferred.
