Material Coordinator

Material Coordinator – Experimental Station

At DuPont, our purpose is to empower the world with essential innovations to thrive. We work on things that matter. Whether it's providing clean water to more than a billion people on the planet, producing materials that are essential in everyday technology devices from smartphones to electric vehicles, or protecting workers around the world.

DuPont has an immediate opening for an experienced Material Coordinator to support the Experimental Station in Wilmington, DE.

The Material Coordinator – Experimental Station is a key enabling role within DuPont's Work Management Process (WMP), responsible for ensuring that facilities maintenance, and crafts support of laboratories is executed with complete material readiness in a complex research campus environment.

This role ensures that materials, tools, and equipment required for work at the Experimental Station are identified, procured, tracked, staged, and available prior to scheduling and execution, in support of safe work execution, schedule reliability, and continuity of building operation and tenant research. The Material Coordinator eliminates material-driven delays that can disrupt Maintenance and/or Research Crafts activities that support research experiments and/or critical site infrastructure.

The position works in close coordination with Planners, Schedulers, Gatekeepers, Procurement, and Execution teams, reinforcing WMP discipline while accommodating the unique constraints of building and laboratory access windows, permits, and quick need work.

Role Alignment within the Experimental Station WMP

At the Experimental Station, the Material Coordinator primarily supports:

• Planning and Ready-to-Schedule stages by validating material completeness before jobs are scheduled
• Schedule reliability by preventing execution delays
• Execution readiness by ensuring materials are staged and available
• Post-execution closeout through proper disposition of surplus material and accurate system updates

This role is essential to protecting the Maintenance and Research Crafts work performance within DuPont's WMP framework.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will help ensure maintenance, facilities, and research craft teams have the right materials, tools, and equipment available before work is scheduled or executed. You will partner closely with planners, schedulers, procurement, maintenance teams, vendors, and internal stakeholders to improve material readiness, inventory accuracy, and campus work execution.

Key Responsibilities:

Material Planning & Readiness

• Review job plans for Maintenance and Research Crafts work to verify that required materials and tools are clearly defined and verified available before jobs are released for scheduling.
• Validate that material requirements align with needs.
• Partner with planners to improve material lists and reduce last-minute material changes that drive break-in work.

Procurement & Expediting

• Create and manage material, tool, and equipment using approved DuPont systems (SAP, procurement platforms, Pro-card per policy).
• Confirm delivery dates and actively expedite materials critical to time-sensitive work.
• Communicate material status changes to planners, scheduler, and supervisors to support informed scheduling decisions.

Material Coordination, Staging & Access Control

• Coordinate receipt, inspection, staging, and kitting of materials to ensure they are available at the correct time and location.
• Maintain accurate material status flags and notes within SAP to support WMP visibility and schedule credibility.
• Ensure materials are staged safely and in compliance with laboratory, chemical handling, and EHS requirements.

MRO & Inventory Optimization (Campus Environment)

• Identify opportunities to convert repetitive ESL maintenance and facilities materials into stocked MRO items where appropriate.
• Coordinate disposition of surplus or unused materials following work completion, ensuring laboratory and campus spaces remain clear and compliant.
• Partner with MRO resources to balance inventory control with execution readiness in a high-variability research environment.
