We don’t just design HVAC equipment — we build scalable, engineered systems that perform in demanding environments. Our strength comes from long-tenured employees, strong cross-functional collaboration, and disciplined engineering processes. We are looking for a Materials Manager who operates with a high degree of structure, precision, and accountability—someone who can bring discipline to inventory control, purchasing, scheduling, and supplier management in a complex, engineered to order environment.

Job Details The Materials Manager is a key leader in our custom HVAC manufacturing environment, responsible for ensuring the seamless flow of materials to support uninterrupted production.
