What You Will Do

Come join the best and brightest minds in the world at one of the most innovative and creative multidisciplinary research institutions engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. The work we do at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) matters to our country and the world!

The Weapons Program Material Control - Warehousing team within the Production Supply Chain Group (SCL-3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory is looking for an exceptional Production Control Specialist to support production material management control. This fast-paced, mission-driven role requires attention to detail, adaptability, and a strong commitment to compliance and operational excellence.

The selected candidate will manage Measurement and Testing Equipment (M&TE), production materials, weapons components, and classified materials in support of the Associate Laboratory Director for Weapons Production (ALDWP). The primary focus of this position is ensuring materials are moved safely and compliantly between multiple controlled storage areas, both on and off Laboratory property, supporting the timely achievement of production and facility milestones.

Responsibilities include maintaining accurate inventory records using multiple inventory management and tracking systems, ensuring full item traceability, and keeping storage areas organized for efficient material retrieval. The selected candidate will locate, pull, stage, and kit materials for production, construction, and maintenance activities, verifying that all materials meet the appropriate Management Level (ML) and Procurement Quality Level (PQL) for their intended use and comply with applicable standards.

This role requires adherence to controlled storage procedures, chemical handling, and transportation requirements, and shelf-life and quality standards to ensure materials are properly maintained and accounted for.

While the posted salary range for this position is broad, it is highly unusual for selected applicants to be hired at the top end of the range and more common for selected candidates to grow into the full salary band over time.
