Job Description

We are seeking a balance between a hands-on and business acumen, professional-level Materials Manager who specializes in ERP to lead, rebuild, and optimize our materials and inventory operations. This role plays a key part in reestablishing the core manual processes and supporting a strategic ERP system implementation.

This is a high-impact position for someone who wants to "make a splash"—leading a team, driving change, and establishing structure in a dynamic, growing manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities Include :

-Rebuild and reestablish materials processes from the ground up to support business scalability.

-Lead and mentor a team of 8 (1 Supervisor, 4 Material Clerks, and 3–4 Handlers)

-Spearhead the creation of home locations on the shop floor and within the ERP system to ensure accurate material tracking and traceability.

-Oversee and improve the end-to-end flow of materials:

++Ensure raw materials from incoming shipments are accurately received and stored.

++Coordinate Handlers to place materials into the correct physical locations using ERP-driven guidance.

++Supervise Clerks responsible for administrative functions and data entry for inventory and shipping/receiving records.

-Evaluate current manual and clunky processes; design and implement streamlined systems that improve visibility, tracking, and operational efficiency.

-Ensure the ERP system (Epicor) interacts effectively with physical material flow, enhancing traceability and location accuracy.

-Drive initiatives around real-time inventory updates—assess and propose improvements such as scanner integration, process mapping, and automated tracking.

-Manage raw material storage and movement before production begins, ensuring full alignment between physical processes and system data.

-Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support production flow, manage hot parts, and optimize resource allocation.

-Drive and support the implementation of Epicor ERP, ensuring system functionality is rolled out in a way that supports lean operations and visibility.

-Lead inventory control practices, including cycle counts, physical inventory, reconciliation, and accuracy initiatives.

-Apply Lean Manufacturing principles to eliminate waste and increase efficiency throughout the materials process.

-Provide training, coaching, recognition, and conflict resolution to foster a high-performing, accountable team.

-Champion change management and process improvement with the flexibility to adapt to a shifting, growth-focused business environment.
