Job description

About the Role

We are seeking a Material Controller to lead receiving, inventory management, and material coordination for the Monarch Compute Campus construction site. With hundreds of millions of dollars of generators, switchgear, transformers, cooling equipment, and IT infrastructure flowing into Mason County, disciplined material control is essential to keeping construction on schedule.

Based on-site in Point Pleasant, you will own the receiving, warehousing, tracking, and issue of materials and equipment for the Monarch build, coordinating closely with EPC contractors, logistics providers, and Nscale's construction and engineering teams.

What You'll be Doing

• Receiving & Inspection
  • Manage all material and equipment receiving activities at the Monarch site.
  • Coordinate physical receipt, documentation, and inspection of incoming shipments against purchase orders, packing lists, and quality requirements.
  • Manage non-conformance reports, damage claims, and discrepancy resolution with vendors and logistics providers.
• Inventory & Warehouse Management
  • Maintain accurate inventory records in the ERP and project material tracking systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Procore).
  • Manage on-site laydown yards, warehousing, and controlled storage for high-value and sensitive items.
  • Conduct cycle counts, audits, and reconciliations.
• Issue, Coordination & Logistics
  • Issue materials and equipment to construction trades and EPC contractors in accordance with project schedule and work fronts.
  • Coordinate just-in-time deliveries for critical-path items including Caterpillar generators, Powell switchgear, and major mechanical and electrical equipment.
  • Partner with site planning and construction leadership to anticipate material needs and prevent stoppages.
• Documentation, Systems & Compliance
  • Maintain complete and auditable records for all material transactions — critical to project finance, insurance, tax, and warranty claims.
  • Partner with the Document Controller to ensure all certificates, mill test reports, and OEM documentation are correctly archived.
  • Support customs, tax, and import compliance for any imported equipment.
• Continuous Improvement & Local Workforce Development
  • Continuously improve material control processes, layouts, and tooling.
  • Help build and develop a local material control team, providing on-the-job training to West Virginia hires and apprentices.

About You

• 5+ years of experience in material control, warehousing, or site logistics on large industrial, power, oil & gas, or data center construction projects.
• Hands‑on experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, or similar) and project tools such as Procore.
• Working knowledge of construction equipment receiving, preservation, and warranty management.
• Highly organised, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working at pace in a dynamic construction environment.
• Strong communicator with the ability to work effectively with trades, contractors, and project leadership.
• Able and willing to be on-site full-time in Point Pleasant, WV.

Nice to Have

• OSHA 10/30 certification.
• Forklift and material handling certifications.
