Material Manager

Job Summary

In this role, you will support material planning and/or material coordination for a large project site. Planning will include implementation of the Material Management Plan, while coordination will involve serving as a liaison between Project and Field Procurement and Construction for accurate reporting of materials. Your efforts will ensure the site receives the materials required for work package installation. This position is designated as part-time telework and will require at least three days of in-person attendance per week at the assigned office or project.

Weekly in-person schedules will be determined by the individual and their supervisor in consultation with functional or project leadership.

• Implements the Material Management Plan and coordinates the specification, identification, and quantification of materials with Engineering and Construction during front‑end execution activities.
• Follows a strict set of guidelines to optimize materials planning work processes for key material commodities.
• Ensures consistent material identification methodology and clearly defined responsibilities between project functions and commodity work processes to support an efficient and economical purchase and supply process.
• Identifies any “special” or potentially lengthy approval requirements that could impact the timely issuance of key engineering deliverables that drive the materials work process.
• Identifies, in coordination with Engineering, critical design drawings and data required from suppliers that may affect the timely issuance of other design deliverables or that are needed by Construction well ahead of material delivery.
• Assists Engineering in implementing the project's component numbering approaches, as required by sound materials management practices and the project Automation Plan, including tagged materials, bulk materials, and spares.
• Verifies that material requisitions clearly identify required pay items and reflect sufficient detail to enable materials to be shipped and identified for storage and control prior to distribution to Construction for installation.
• Assists in identifying out‑of‑sequence engineering deliverables or lengthy approval requirements that could impact the timely issuance of key engineering deliverables that drive the materials work process.
• Maintains direct working relationships with Project Controls, Discipline Engineers, Supply Chain, Automation Support, and/or Construction Coordinator to ensure that construction personnel receive materials to support the completion of the construction work.
• Monitors Engineering and Supply Chain deliverable schedules and ensures they meet the construction schedule.

• Requires a bachelor’s degree (or international equivalent) and 8–10 years of relevant experience or 12–14 years of relevant work experience.

• Knowledge of either project procurement operations related to the acquisition of materials on projects, or of the engineering discipline within the area of responsibility, the work process, and the deliverables produced (must have a basic knowledge of the other).
• Knowledge in the use of systems such as the Digital Supply Chain System (DSCS) and Site Sense.
• Knowledge of supplier, fabricator, contractor, customer, and other outside data systems and how those systems interact with DSCS.
• Knowledge of work packaging, pre‑buy methodology, and materials status reporting.
