• Review installation schedules, design plans, and project documents to forecast material needs and create accurate bills of materials.
• Ensure all required materials are ordered, received, verified, and staged before the scheduled installation date.
• Respond immediately to shortages, damaged materials, vendor delays, inventory discrepancies, and other issues that could affect a project.
• Manage inventory levels, reorder points, purchase orders, cycle counts, and material movement through the ERP or warehouse management system.
• Manage vendor relationships, negotiate pricing, track open orders, and identify sourcing options that balance cost, quality, and delivery timelines.
• Partner with Project Management, Scheduling, Design, Service, and Installation teams to confirm project readiness and resolve material-related issues.
• Communicate risks early, provide clear status updates, and bring possible solutions when escalating an issue.
• Establish warehouse procedures, performance metrics, and inventory controls that improve efficiency, accountability, and scalability.
• Maintain a clean, organized, secure, and safety-compliant warehouse.
