Job description

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.

About T1 Energy

At T1 Energy (NYSE: TE), we build energy. We are an American solar manufacturer building the future of energy abundance. From our headquarters in Austin, Texas, we’re pioneering a domestic solar supply chain with one mission: to invigorate America with scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy.

We started with G1_Dallas, one of the most advanced solar manufacturing facilities in the world. The 5GW facility is located in Wilmer, Texas. It has the capacity to produce more than 20,000 solar modules a day for solar farms that power American homes, businesses, and keep our energy grids resilient.

Next is G2_Austin: Our new solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas. Its first 2.1GW phase is designed to produce next-generation TOPCon cells beginning in 2027. As the fab grows, it’s expected to support up to 1,800 manufacturing jobs. Modules assembled at G1 can run on cells from G2.

What comes after G2? Come join us and help figure that out. And then build it. The sun has always shone on America. Now you can turn it into abundant electricity.

The T1 Way

We’re all in on the mission, and we pursue it as one team. We move fast, own our results, and treat each other with respect. Egos stay at the door: no one is too senior to roll up their sleeves, and no idea is too small to share. Be sharp, be honest, be human. If you can hold the line and keep a sense of humor, you’ll fit right in.
