About the Role
The Project Procurement Manager leads procurement execution for assigned greenfield nuclear Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. Reporting within the Procurement & Supply Chain organization, this role owns the project procurement plan and partners with Category Management and project leadership to ensure purchasing activity supports project schedule, budget, quality, and delivery requirements.
While Category Management establishes sourcing strategies across the portfolio, the Project Procurement Manager is accountable for disciplined procurement execution at the individual project level.
Please note: This role will support TNC’s greenfield nuclear construction projects and is not assigned to the V.C. Summer project or work being performed through TNC’s related joint venture.
This is a hybrid position based in our downtown Columbia, South Carolina office, with an expected in-office presence of 2-3 days per week. The role has been posted in surrounding markets for visibility, as the hybrid schedule may make the commute workable for candidates living outside the immediate Columbia area.
