Basic Function
As a member of the Data Center Supply Chain team, the Senior Program Manager, Project Logistics will lead domestic movement of high-value, long-lead owner-furnished, contractor-installed (OFCI) equipment from the agreed OEM handoff through delivery to the defined receiving point. The role directs qualified primary transport providers for project cargo, oversized/overweight moves, heavy haul, specialized final mile and recovery. The role protects schedule, equipment condition and cost while coordinating readiness and receiving requirements with the Control Tower and Storage/Site lead.
SB Energy is building a procurement team under a common role profile, bringing together complementary electrical, mechanical, commercial, and logistics strengths. Within this team, this role focuses on transportation and project logistics, including transportation planning, project cargo, and site delivery. The manager may lead transportation and logistics activities for an individual project, manage equipment movements across multiple projects, or lead a shared transportation or logistics planning assignment.
Assignments may evolve as projects advance, workloads shift, and business priorities change. The manager is expected to contribute beyond their primary area, including broader procurement, sourcing, supplier development, or planning assignments, based on relevant experience, equipment knowledge, readiness, workload, and appropriate specialist support. Each manager maintains clear ownership of assigned responsibilities, cross-trains colleagues, and provides structured handoffs and backup coverage.
