• Track material movement between laydown yards, assembly areas, and work fronts using approved systems and logs
• Support material traceability requirements, including heat numbers, batch tracking, certifications, and compliance documentation, as required by Contract and Quality standards
• Coordinate with the Quality Coordinator to ensure material documentation supports inspection, acceptance, and turnover requirements

• Assist in planning, scheduling, and coordination of material deliveries in alignment with procurement and construction plans
• Coordinate with logistics providers, approved vendors, and internal SCM teams to support timely delivery and proper material handling
• Maintain effective working relationships with vendors to resolve delivery, packaging, or documentation issues
• Support vendor-managed inventory processes where applicable, without assuming procurement authority

• Utilize approved SCM, inventory, and project systems to track material status, quantities, and delivery milestones
• Provide accurate material status updates to the Materials Manager and Project Coordination team
• Support material-related inputs to project reporting, look-ahead planning, and schedule updates
• Ensure all material activities align with the purchasing strategy and procurement plan established by the Materials Manager

• Ensure material handling, storage, and documentation comply with Company standards, Contract requirements, and applicable regulations
• Maintain project-specific logs for specialty tools, equipment, and material certifications as required
• Promote adherence to SCM procedures and educate project teams on material request, handling, and documentation protocols
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement in material flow, yard organization, storage efficiency, and coordination practices

• High School Diploma required; certificate or diploma in Materials Management, Supply Chain, or a related discipline is considered an asset
