Responsibilities

Technical Evaluation & Requirements Development

• Performs engineering-based technical evaluations to determine the correct technical and quality requirements for procurement that Supply Chain depends on for compliant purchasing activity. Develops and documents technical specifications, acceptance criteria, design attributes, and procurement requirements for nuclear safety related materials and services.
• Reviews and interprets design documents, engineering evaluations, vendor technical information, system configuration information, regulatory requirements, and repair history to establish accurate technical and quality requirements.
• Establishes shelf-life parameters, material interchangeability determinations, and configuration-controlled catalog attributes based on engineering principles

Lifecycle-Based Procurement Decision Support (Upstream & Downstream)

• Evaluates how upstream engineering decisions, system functions, design basis, and performance requirements influence procurement requirements.
• Assesses downstream lifecycle impacts, determining how procured items must be controlled upon receipt, inspected, stored, handled, installed, maintained, and monitored to ensure long-term operational reliability and regulatory compliance.
• Ensures that procurement actions preserve configuration control, operability, equipment qualification boundaries, and 10 CFR 50 Appendix B quality requirements.

Technical Governance for Replenishment, Stocking, and Inventory Optimization

• Provides the engineering basis for stocking strategies, replenishment decisions, critical spares identification, material applicability, and o
