Position Description

As a Product Lead, you will be a technical leader of the version-level execution under Fervo’s Powerblock Versioning Process. This versioning process fosters our execution philosophy across the Geoblock Factory organization as we plan to scale at accelerated rates over the next 5 years. You will drive the requirements, schedule, and cross-functional coordination needed to carry that scope from Preliminary Design Review through Critical Design Review and into order execution for a given version. As Fervo transitions from first-of-a-kind projects to scaling deployment of its plants, you will play a key role in driving standardization and efficiency improvements across projects, and in making sure Powerblock facilities requirements flow cleanly from the Powerblock team to Development, Resource, Drilling & Completions, Construction, Commissioning, Production, and Operations.

You will report to the Powerblock Technical Program Manager (TPM). You will act as the TPM’s counterpart for your assigned version(s), keeping the TPM informed of scope, schedule, and open decisions, and serving as the facilities point of contact for that version.

Responsibilities

Technical Execution

Build relationships and pathways for continued learning and improvements from previous version execution – Powerblock engineering, Supply Chain, Construction, Commissioning, Production, Operations to ensure improvements and lessons learned get incorporated into future versions appropriately.

Drive first-principles tradeoff analysis across the entire Powerblock facility to optimize system performance

Identify opportunities to simplify and accelerate designs while maintaining technical excellence

Inform and support procurement efforts, flagging opportunities for preferred agreements when beneficial and required by schedules

Version & Product Management

Own assigned Powerblock version end to end – from inputs at the Version Preliminary Design Review, through module/equipment PDR and CDR, to design freeze and Order Execution

Lead version-level Preliminary and Critical Design Reviews, translating version-level requirements into equipment-level requirements for modules to progress

Participate in module/equipment-level PDRs and CDRs to be informed of design details to the given version

Ensure facilities requirements are continuously updated, disseminated, and flow cleanly from the Powerblock team to Development, Resource, Drilling & Completions, Construction, Commissioning, Production, and Operations

Track and report schedule, cost, and open/closed design decisions for facilities scope to the Technical Program Manager

Support takt-based procurement planning and RFPs for facilities equipment, and confirm procurement quantities against order execution

Manage the Management of Change (MOC) process for any facilities-related design change after the version or template design freeze

Serve as the facilities point of contact for your assigned version, coordinating closely with the TPM and other module owners

Team and Culture

Demonstrate extreme ownership by taking responsibility for cost, safety, schedule, and constructability in addition to design
