Overview:
This position supports manufacturing operations by investigating inventory discrepancies, material inaccuracies, and transactional breakdowns across the manufacturing floor and stockroom. The role functions as a “CSI-style” investigative resource—identifying what went wrong, why it happened, when it occurred, where the material is, and how to prevent it from happening again.

Key Responsibilities:
- Investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies across manufacturing and stockroom environments
- Support discrepancy investigations, including engineering change break-ins and material variances
- Interpret and validate Bills of Material (BOMs)
- Perform physical inventory counts, cycle counts, and special counts (both internal and customer-requested)
- Identify root causes of inventory inaccuracies and clearly document findings and corrective actions
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to prevent recurrence of issues
- Accurately document and communicate findings via email and written reports
Required Qualifications:
- Approximately 5 years of experience in inventory control, manufacturing support, materials, or related operations roles
- Manufacturing environment experience strongly preferred
- Experience with discrepancy investigations and root cause analysis
- Basic understanding of Bills of Material (BOMs)
- Inventory counting experience (cycle counts, physical inventories, special counts)
- ERP system experience required (Bond ERP preferred; SAP, Oracle, or similar acceptable)
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
