• Experience supporting a manufacturing operation required
• Strong understanding of purchasing, inventory control, shipping, receiving, and material planning
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems and inventory transactions
• Experience supporting work orders, WIP tracking, and production material flow
• Experience with domestic and international shipping preferred
• Strong problem‑solving and operational troubleshooting skills
• Comfortable working in a small manufacturing environment where responsibilities extend beyond a traditional desk‑based supply chain role

Ideal Background

• WIP tracking
• ERP/MRP systems

Examples may include:

This Role Is Not

• A strategic sourcing‑only position
• A procurement‑only role

This person is a practical manufacturing professional who enjoys being involved in the day‑to‑day operation and takes ownership of ensuring materials and products move efficiently through the business.
