Procurement Specialist III

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience working for or supporting a federal government contractor.
• Professional procurement or contracts certification such as:
• Certified Procurement Manager (CPM)
• Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM)
• Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM)
• Experience supporting large-scale, technically complex construction, infrastructure, engineering, or scientific projects.
• Experience using LCPtracker or a comparable certified-payroll/compliance system.
• The candidate we’re really looking for
• This is not simply a purchasing or buyer position. The strongest candidate will have substantial construction subcontract administration experience in a federal or highly regulated environment and will understand what happens after a subcontract is awarded, not just how to source and negotiate it.
• Work Arrangement: Onsite – This role is based full-time at the LBNF-DUNE site in Lead, South Dakota.
• Why Fermilab: Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and locations around the world, including deep underground mines in South Dakota and Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, CERN in Europe and the South Pole.
• Pre-Employment Screening:
• Drug-Free Workplace & Pre-Employment Screening
• Fermilab is dedicated to fostering a safe, productive and drug-free environment. An offer of employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check and drug screening.
• HSPD-12
• In accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) new employees are required to obtain and maintain a HSPD-12 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credential. To obtain this credential, new employees must successfully complete and pass a federal background check investigation. This investigation includes a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture. This includes marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws. Failure to obtain or maintain such government access authorization could result in the withdrawal of a job offer or future termination of employment.
• Foreign Government Sponsored Activities
• Fermilab employees, and certain guest researchers and contractors, are subject to particular restrictions related to participation in Foreign Government Sponsored or Affiliated Activities, as defined and detailed in United States Department of Energy Order 486.1A. Such individuals will be asked to disclose any participation for review by Fermilab's Office of General Counsel.
