Company Overview
Blue Energy is transforming how nuclear power gets built. Instead of constructing each plant on-site from scratch - a process that takes 10-15 years and is too expensive and unpredictable to finance - we build our plants like ships: in a factory, on an assembly line, then transport and assemble them at the site. This cuts costs by over 60% and brings plants online in just three years. We also pair natural gas with nuclear at our sites, so customers can start receiving power from gas turbines right away and then switch over to clean nuclear power once it comes online - getting energy to the grid faster while nuclear is being built. Our mission is to make nuclear energy abundant, affordable, and repeatable at global scale. We use proven, already-approved reactor designs and work with existing nuclear and industrial sites, giving us a faster path to regulatory approval. By manufacturing this way, we put nuclear power on the same cost-reduction curve that has made wind, solar, and batteries cheaper every year.
Role Overview
The Procurement Lead is responsible for overseeing and managing procurement and supply chain activity across both Owner and Contractor workstreams on Blue Energy's capital programme. The role covers the full purchase order lifecycle - from sourcing and bid management through administration, change control, invoice reconciliation, and close-out - ensuring procurement activity is compliant, well-documented, and commercially controlled.
Key Responsibilities

Oversee and manage both Owner and Contractor project procurement through the full purchase order lifecycle – create, issue, revise, and close out purchase orders, call-off orders, and task orders against master service agreements (MSAs) and equipment supply agreements.
-
Oversee and manage the preparation and validation of change orders and contract amendments, ensuring each change is priced, approved, and documented before work proceeds.
-
Support the drafting, issuance, and administration of MSAs, service contracts, NDAs, and amendments in coordination with Contracts and Legal.
-
Ensure the Owner and Contractor procurement teams maintain contract and purchase order data in the contract lifecycle management (CLM) and ERP systems, ensuring records, values, dates, and supplier information are accurate and current.
-
Oversee sourcing and procurement activities for Owner and Contractor, including assembling bid packages and requests for quotation, distributing them to bidders, tracking supplier responses, and compiling commercial bid tabulations.
-
Oversee supplier onboarding and pre-qualification, including vendor set-up, collection of insurance certificates and compliance documentation, and tracking of expiries and renewals.
