## Job description

T1 Energy is bringing solar manufacturing back to the U.S. by building a domestic solar supply chain. Our mission is to invigorate America with scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy. Our fully operational 5GW solar module facility in Wilmer, Texas, can manufacture more than 20,000 modules every 24 hours. By the time you finish reading this paragraph, we will have produced two solar panels that will power American homes and fuel domestic AI. We're focused on building advanced American manufacturing and we're passionate about engineering a better future filled with abundant energy.

## The Role

T1 Energy is looking to hire a Junior Procurement Buyer to handle the tactical and operational execution that keeps our solar supply chain moving. This is a hands-on role for someone early in their procurement career who thrives on precision, follow-through, and the kind of flawless administrative discipline that keeps a high-volume manufacturing operation supplied and on schedule. You’ll own purchase order execution, ERP data integrity, shipment tracking, and invoice reconciliation across our renewables portfolio. If you’re detail-obsessed, comfortable in the weeds of supply chain operations, and eager to build a career in solar procurement at a company that’s scaling fast, this role is for you.

## What You’ll Do

- Issue, execute, and track standard Purchase Orders for PV cells, modules, and component-level systems up to $15M under pre-vetted pricing frameworks.
- Monitor daily international and domestic freight statuses, partnering with port agents and logistics coordinators to flag potential delivery delays before they become problems.
- Maintain flawless data integrity within the corporate ERP (SAP/Oracle), ensuring material prices, lead times, and arrival windows are updated daily.
- Audit and reconcile physical receipts and Bills of Lading against supplier invoices and original PO parameters through three-way matching before submitting to Accounts Payable.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for routine account managers at Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers regarding shipping schedules and material documentation.

## Who You Are

- Exceptionally detail-oriented: you treat data accuracy as non-negotiable and nothing slips past you.
- Organized and process-minded, with a habit of closing the loop on every transaction.
- Comfortable navigating ERP workflows and confident working with data in Excel.
- A clear, reliable communicator who keeps suppliers and internal teams aligned.
- Eager to learn the solar supply chain from the ground up and grow in the field.
- Calm and dependable under the pace of a high-volume manufacturing environment.

## Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, an engineering discipline, or equivalent experience in solar procurement.
- 1–3 years of direct experience in manufacturing procurement, logistics operations, or project purchasing.
- Foundational knowledge of ERP workflows and intermediate-to-advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, data sorting).
- Basic familiarity with renewable energy technologies or the core components of a solar PV layout is heavily preferred.

The T1 Way We move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect. We also have a no-jerks policy: we don't tolerate big egos, bad behavior or "that's not my job attitude". Be sharp, be honest, be human. If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you'll fit right in. T1 Energy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants and do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristics.
