Job description

Driven by integrity and united by the people-and-pet bond, we find strong purpose in the work we do and an even greater joy in those we get to work alongside. Together, we harness the expertise of our long-standing tradition of excellence to embrace possibility and continuously push to do what's never been done before in pet care. Discover your purpose and fuel your passions when you bring your love of pets to a team that prides itself on the power of togetherness-We are Proudly Connected. Purely Driven.
Position Summary
Located in southeast Missouri, Bloomfield is a small town with rich history, and we are proud to call it home to one of our litter factories since 1976. Our factory in Bloomfield was the first to produce Lightweight® litter, a product that weighs half the amount of conventional litter, revolutionizing the pet care industry. An innovative feature of this factory is an overhead bridge that allows full pallets of finished products to be conveyed to the distribution center just north of the factory. This innovation, along with others, played a significant role in Nestlé Purina earning the Malcolm Baldrige Award, the highest level of national recognition for performance excellence that a U.S. organization can receive. Our factory also works to do our part to care for the environment, like conserving water, investing in renewable electricity, and maintaining zero waste for disposal. In 2020, our Bloomfield factory underwent a 110,000-square-foot expansion in processing and packaging, thanks to a $115 million investment. This expansion allowed Nestlé Purina to meet the growing demand from cat owners. With short commutes to St. Louis, Kansas City, and the Lake of the Ozarks, we enjoy day trips to popular attractions nearby and take pride in the great schools, local businesses, and tight-knit community that Bloomfield has to offer.
Join a team where technology, collaboration, and continuous improvement drive results. As a Senior Inventory Control Coordinator, you'll lead inventory accuracy and system performance efforts in our largest, most automated distribution center. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you'll troubleshoot complex challenges, support daily operations, and become a key technical resource within the facility. If you're energized by problem-solving and opportunities to grow your expertise, you'll find a rewarding career path with us in Bloomfield.

  • Work directly with Team Leaders, Warehouse administration, and communicate with other ASRS Specialists, Warehouse Technicians, Production Personnel, Operations Planning Management, and QA. Additionally, you will be part of a network of peers at other factories and Headquarters support staff.
