Description

The Drexel Way:

We don't just sell lumber; we Supply. Happiness. Drexel is Team Member-owned and community-driven. With six retail hubs and three manufacturing plants across Wisconsin, we've been a Top Workplace every year since 2011. Why? Because we hire for heart and train for skill. When you join Team Blue, you aren't just a team member - you're an owner.

The Mission:

As our Inventory Specialist, you aren't just checking boxes; you're the Guardian of Inventory Accuracy. Serving as a primary safeguard of our inventory integrity, you bridge the gap between administrative accuracy and physical yard operations. You ensure real-time stock levels are 100% accurate, active, and available. We're looking for an enthusiastic, detail-oriented professional with a winning attitude to optimize our inventory control systems and improve operational efficiency.

Defining the Role:

• Inventory Auditing & Accuracy: Maintain real-time inventory accuracy by conducting regularly scheduled cycle counts and routine yard walks for special order items.
• Process Supervision: Oversee and enforce best practices in receiving, stock rotation, and loading correct amounts for customer deliveries and purchases.
• Data & System Maintenance: Manage storage spaces based on set min/max parameters, communicate product changes, and maintain clean Special Order (S.O.) and Negative on Hand reports.
• Administrative & Documentation: Meticulously process, comprehend, and fill out paperwork, including invoices and reports, utilizing strong computer and mathematical skills.
• Yard Operations & Material Handling: Assist customers with loading lumber and building materials into personal vehicles, convey materials using forklifts or dollies, and assist with deliveries (clean driving record required).
• Problem-Solving & Leadership: Drive creative, root-cause problem-solving for inventory discrepancies, foster a strong culture of accountability, and assist with onboarding and motivating new team members.

What Success Looks Like:

Performance is measured by your direct impact on yard velocity and inventory health:

• Inventory Accuracy Rate: The percentage of physical stock matching real-time system levels through cycle counts.
• Report Cleanliness: Resolution rate and cycle time for clearing Negative on Hand and Special Order (S.O.) discrepancy reports.
• Root-Cause Resolution: Reduction of recurring inventory errors and total line-item variance.

The Drexel Advantage:

The Wealth-Builder (Ownership)

• ESOP Shares: We don't just work here; we own the place. You'll earn a real stake in the company's success.
• Profit Sharing: When Drexel wins, our team wins.
• 401k: A solid foundation for your long-term retirement goals.

Health & Well-Being

• Comprehensive Coverage: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance to keep you and your family "weather-proof."
• Fitness Reimbursements: Annual funds dedicated to your physical health and family activities.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential support when life gets complex.

Life & Legacy

• Immediate Paid Time Off: Start with Holiday and Vacation pay from day one.
• Scholarship Program: We're invested in the next generation—educational support for the children of our team members.
• Annual Charity Match: We'll double your impact on the causes you care about most.
