What does a material specialist do?

Materials are substances or components used in manufacturing, construction, and production processes, ranging from metals and plastics to ceramics and composites. A material specialist, or materials engineer, works to develop, test, and select materials that meet specific technical and performance requirements for various products or projects. They analyze material properties, recommend suitable options for particular applications, and often collaborate with engineers and manufacturers to ensure quality and efficiency. Their work is crucial in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and construction.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a material scientist?

To thrive as a Material Scientist, you need a strong background in chemistry, physics, materials engineering, and typically a relevant degree such as a BS, MS, or PhD in materials science or a related field. Familiarity with laboratory instrumentation, materials characterization tools (like SEM, XRD), and data analysis software is crucial. Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication are key soft skills that help in research collaboration and presenting findings. These skills and qualifications are vital for developing innovative materials, ensuring quality, and supporting advancements in technology and manufacturing.

What are some common challenges faced by material planners, and how can they effectively address them?

Material Planners often face challenges such as supply chain disruptions, fluctuating demand forecasts, and tight production schedules. To navigate these issues, they must proactively communicate with suppliers, closely monitor inventory levels, and use forecasting tools to anticipate changes. Building strong relationships with both internal teams (like production and procurement) and external partners helps ensure timely material availability and minimizes the risk of production delays. Effective problem-solving and adaptability are key traits for success in this role.

Employer & Industry UsageManufacturers, suppliers, construction companiesConstruction firms, remodeling companies, custom carpentry shops
Common Search & ComparisonMaterial vs Carpenter

Materials refer to the raw substances used in construction and manufacturing, such as wood, metal, or concrete. Carpenters are skilled tradespeople who work with these materials to build, install, and repair structures. While materials are the supplies, carpenters are the professionals who utilize them to complete projects. Understanding the difference helps in selecting the right resources or hiring the appropriate expertise for construction tasks.

Job description

Position Summary

The Material Handler is responsible for the accurate receipt, movement, storage, issuance, and control of raw materials, components, supplies, and related inventory in support of manufacturing operations. This role ensures physical material movement is accurately reflected in the ERP system and that materials are available at the correct location, quantity, and status when required by production. Key responsibilities include receiving support, raw material issuance to production, material putaway, cycle counting, inventory transactions, material movement, and maintaining traceability in accordance with company procedures and applicable ISO/FDA requirements.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities
  • Receive incoming raw materials, components, supplies, and other production-related items; verify quantities, part numbers, purchase orders, packing slips, lot/serial information, and condition of material.
  • Perform required receiving transactions in the ERP system accurately and timely to ensure physical inventory and system inventory remain synchronized.
  • Identify materials requiring incoming inspection or quality review and route them to the appropriate controlled location without bypassing required quality status.
  • Put away received materials into the correct warehouse, stockroom, point-of-use, or controlled inventory location and complete all required ERP location-transfer transactions.
  • Issue raw materials and components to work orders, production areas, or designated users based on approved material requirements and complete the corresponding ERP issue transactions at the time of physical movement.
  • Process material returns from production, including unused material, over-issued quantities, or other authorized returns, and complete the associated ERP return or inventory transactions.
  • Support kitting and staging of material for released work orders and production priorities as directed by Planning, Operations, or the Senior Shipping & Receiving Lead.
  • Perform daily material movement between receiving, warehouse, inspection, production, and other approved locations while maintaining lot, serial, revision, and quantity traceability.
  • Execute scheduled cycle counts using approved blind-count procedures, document first counts and recounts, investigate discrepancies, and support inventory adjustments in accordance with company approval requirements.
  • Assist with inventory reconciliation and research transaction, location, quantity, unit-of-measure, lot/serial, or material-status discrepancies.
  • Maintain inventory accuracy by ensuring no physical material movement occurs without the corresponding ERP transaction when a transaction is required.
  • Support raw-material, WIP, and component inventory organization using established location, labeling, segregation, and status-control requirements.
  • Identify and immediately escalate shortages, damaged material, incorrect quantities, unidentified material, missing paperwork, blocked inventory, or other issues that could affect production or inventory accuracy.
  • Maintain FIFO, lot-control, expiration-date, shelf-life, and material-segregation requirements where applicable.
  • Support the Shipping & Receiving team with inbound material handling, unloading, staging, pallet movement, and other material-flow activities as required.
  • Maintain accurate records and documentation for material receipts, issues, transfers, returns, and cycle counts to support traceability and audit readiness.
  • Maintain knowledge of and compliance with applicable work instructions, standard operating procedures, ISO 13485 requirements, FDA requirements, safety procedures, and inventory-control processes.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, organized, and audit-ready warehouse and material-storage environment.
  • Operate forklifts, pallet jacks, hand trucks, and other approved material-handling equipment safely and in accordance with company requirements.
  • Perform other duties as assigned by the Senior Shipping & Receiving Lead or Supply Chain leadership.
ERP and Inventory Transaction Requirements

Accurate ERP execution is a core requirement of this position. Physical material movement is not considered complete until the corresponding system transaction has been accurately performed, when applicable.

  • Receiving transactions for inbound production material.
  • Inventory location transfers and putaway transactions.
  • Raw material and component issues to work orders or production.
  • Material returns from production.
  • Cycle count entries and approved inventory adjustments.
  • Lot, serial, quantity, status, and location verification.
  • Research and correction of physical-to-system discrepancies in coordination with the Senior Shipping & Receiving Lead and authorized process owners.
Knowledge, Skills and Competencies
  • 2+ years of material handling, receiving, warehouse, inventory control, stockroom, or manufacturing materials experience preferred.
  • Experience working in a manufacturing environment required; experience in a medical-device, pharmaceutical, or other ISO/FDA-regulated environment preferred.
  • Hands-on experience using an ERP or inventory-management system to perform receiving, inventory, issue, transfer, and/or cycle-count transactions required.
  • Experience with M2M or a comparable manufacturing ERP preferred.
  • Working knowledge of inventory-control principles, material traceability, lot/serial control, FIFO, cycle counting, and warehouse location management.
  • Ability to accurately read and interpret purchase orders, packing slips, part numbers, work orders, labels, inventory locations, and material documentation.
  • Strong attention to detail and demonstrated ability to maintain accurate quantities, locations, and material status.
  • Ability to identify discrepancies and escalate issues before they affect production or inventory accuracy.
  • Basic Microsoft Excel and computer skills.
  • Ability to prioritize work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and respond to production-critical material needs.
  • Ability to communicate effectively and professionally with Shipping & Receiving, Planning, Purchasing, Quality, Operations, and other departments.
  • Ability to work independently while following established standard work, safety procedures, and inventory controls.
Education, Certifications and Licenses
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • Technical, logistics, supply chain, inventory-control, or manufacturing coursework preferred.
  • Forklift certification required, or ability to obtain certification within the established onboarding period.
Physical Requirements
  • Regularly required to stand, walk, bend, reach, push, pull, and handle material throughout the workday.
  • Ability to lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
  • Ability to operate pallet jacks, hand trucks, forklifts, and other material-handling equipment as authorized.
  • Ability to sit or stand for extended periods depending on operational requirements.
  • Requires repetitive movement, bending, twisting, and material handling.
  • Specific vision abilities include close vision, distance vision, depth perception, and the ability to read labels, documentation, and computer screens.
Work Environment
  • Manufacturing and warehouse environment with exposure to moving equipment, moderate noise, and normal material-handling activities.
  • May include exposure to production areas, receiving docks, loading areas, and controlled inventory locations.
  • Must comply with all required personal protective equipment, safety, quality, and material-handling procedures.
  • Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.
