This position supports manufacturing operations by investigating inventory discrepancies, material inaccuracies, and transactional breakdowns across the manufacturing floor and stockroom. The role functions as a "CSI-style" investigative resource – identifying what went wrong, why it happened, when it occurred, where the material is, and how to prevent it from happening again. This is a hands‑on, analytical role requiring strong problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in an unstructured environment.

• Investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies across manufacturing and stockroom environments
• Support discrepancy investigations, including engineering change break‑ins and material variances
• Interpret and validate Bills of Material (BOMs)
• Perform physical inventory counts, cycle counts, and special counts (both internal and customer‑requested)
• Identify root causes of inventory inaccuracies and clearly document findings and corrective actions
• Work closely with cross‑functional teams to prevent recurrence of issues
• Accurately document and communicate findings via email and written reports

• Approximately 5 years of experience in inventory control, manufacturing support, materials, or related operations roles
• Manufacturing environment experience strongly preferred
• Experience with discrepancy investigations and root cause analysis
• Basic understanding of Bills of Material (BOMs)
• Inventory counting experience (cycle counts, physical inventories, special counts)
• ERP system experience required (Bond ERP preferred; SAP, Oracle, or similar acceptable)
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office
• Strong and verbal communication skills
