Job Summary

The Material Control Specialist is responsible for the reliable flow, control, and traceability of materials throughout the Material Control area. This role helps protect product quality, inventory accuracy, production continuity, and on-time delivery by coordinating material movement, incoming inspection, replenishment, outside processing, and inventory reporting.

• Maintain confidence in inventory balances by completing cycle counts, periodic physical counts, and monthly reporting; investigate discrepancies and support corrective actions that reduce recurring errors.
• Prevent nonconforming or incorrectly documented material from entering production by resolving labeling and paperwork inconsistencies and initiating quarantine or nonconforming-product processes when required.
• Help ensure completed products are prepared for on-time shipment by transferring jobs to Shipping based on required ship dates and providing backup support for packing and shipping activities.
• Build consistent Material Control practices across the team by training colleagues and serving as a resource for inventory, labeling, inspection, and recordkeeping processes.
• Promote a safe, organized, and continuously improving work environment by maintaining the Material Control area and contributing to quality, safety, and process-improvement efforts.
