• Inventory accuracy, attention to detail, and effective organization and labeling of materials.

• Clear communication and teamwork across materials, production, quality, engineering, purchasing, and shipping functions.

• Dependability, adaptability, and a continuous-improvement mindset in an active manufacturing environment.

Preferences:

• Knowledge of cycle counting, inventory reconciliation, FIFO practices, and warehouse location control.

• Experience handling large, heavy, oversized, or high-value industrial components in a custom, high-mix, or engineer-to-order manufacturing environment.

• Current OSHA, forklift, rigging, crane, or other relevant industrial safety certification.
