  • Managing the movement of materials to and from various operational areas as required.
  • Ensuring compliance with materials management through adherence to company policies, guidelines, and site-specific audits.
  • This role requires onsite presence.

Required Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor’s Degree with a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field with at least 3 years of experience.
  • Proficiency in Material Requirements Planning (MRP) processes and systems.
  • Background in manufacturing, industrial engineering, or related fields, preferably within a government contracting environment.
  • Familiarity with Planning and Production Control principles, including MRP, Inventory Management, Capacity Planning, Scheduling, and Lean Manufacturing.
  • A valid U.S. government issued Secret security clearance is mandatory prior to employment. U.S. citizenship is required for security clearance eligibility.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with SAP/PRISM-based MRP systems.
  • Previous access to Single Source Background Investigation (SSBI) within the last five years.
  • Knowledge of Lean and Process Improvement methodologies (e.g., Six Sigma) to enhance departmental and cross-functional processes.
  • Familiarity with analytical tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Rapid Response Kinaxis, and Business Warehouse.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
  • Experience with Microsoft Access and Visio is a plus.
