Sourcing Manager, Contractors & Site Services

Fluidstack · Austin, TX · 2 wk ago
On-sitePurchasing$130k–$200k/yrContract

Supply Chain Team

  • Examples of key problems the team is working on:
    • Build 10GW of compute, the largest build out of compute in history.
    • Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.
    • Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone.
    • Redefine speed in this industry, and it lives or dies on supply chain.
    • Keep procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage, not our constraint.
    • Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists.
    • Forecast lead times, demand, and disruption with a precision the industry has never had, and turn that foresight into a structural edge.

Role Scope

  • Own the end-to-end strategy for sourcing, onboarding, and sustaining the contractor workforce and site services that keep Fluidstack's sites running across multiple states.
  • Build and manage a multi-tier supplier network for contract labor: low-voltage electricians, CDU install and maintenance techs, facilities ops, security integrators and guard services, structured cabling crews, and general site trades.
  • Develop preferred-supplier lists and MSA/SOW frameworks with pre-negotiated rate cards and qualification standards for rapid mobilization at new sites.
  • Manage union-jurisdiction awareness (IBEW, NECA) and compliance with prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, and local labor agreements.
  • Source and negotiate workforce support services (crew housing, catering, transportation, PPE) with volume agreements that scale as site headcount moves through project phases.
  • Partner with Recruiting on contract-to-hire pipelines, and build local workforce-development programs (community colleges, apprenticeships, DOL Registered Apprenticeship) that grow trades capacity where Fluidstack operates.

What We're Looking For

  • You've sourced and managed contract labor and trades at scale for construction, data center, or industrial operations across multiple sites.
  • You know how to mobilize a skilled workforce fast: rate cards, MSA/SOW frameworks, and qualification standards that travel to new sites.
  • You understand union jurisdictions and labor compliance (prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon) well enough to keep a multi-state buildout clean.
  • You've procured site-support services (lodging, food, transport, PPE) under fluctuating headcount.
  • You partner across DC Ops, Construction, Recruiting, and Finance, and you've built contractor-to-hire or workforce-development programs.
  • Bonus: Skilled-trades or construction labor sourcing. Liquid cooling / CDU or high-density power trades. Apprenticeship or workforce-grant programs. Multi-site hyperscale buildouts.

Salary And Benefits

  • The base salary range for this position is $130,000 to $200,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
  • This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting.
  • Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
  • Additional Benefits Include:
    • A competitive total compensation package (salary + equity)
    • A retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms
    • Health, dental, and vision insurance
    • A generous PTO policy, in line with local norms
