We are seeking an experienced Inventory Control Specialist to help establish and maintain accurate control of materials and components supporting a fast-paced manufacturing operation.

This is more than a basic warehouse or receiving position. The successful candidate will help ensure materials are accurately received, organized, tracked, staged, and issued to production while working closely with purchasing, engineering, production, and project management.

Key Responsibilities

• Receive, inspect, label, and accurately record incoming materials and components.
• Verify received materials against purchase orders, packing slips, Bills of Materials, and project requirements.
• Identify shortages, overages, damaged materials, and incorrect components.
• Organize and maintain inventory locations for efficient identification and retrieval.
• Issue and stage materials for production according to job numbers, Bills of Materials, and manufacturing schedules.
• Create and maintain dedicated inventory kits for individual manufacturing projects.
• Track high-value and long-lead components through receiving, storage, production, and completion.
• Perform regular cycle counts and assist with physical inventory audits.
• Research inventory discrepancies and make approved system corrections.
• Maintain accurate quantities within the ERP or inventory-management system.
• Coordinate with purchasing regarding shortages, reorder requirements, and delivery dates.
• Work with engineering and production to confirm component specifications and approved substitutions.
• Help establish appropriate stocking levels for frequently used components.
• Identify slow-moving, obsolete, or excess inventory.
• Maintain clean, organized, and clearly labeled inventory and material-staging areas.
• Support continuous improvement of inventory-control and warehouse processes.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years of inventory, material-control, warehouse, or manufacturing experience.
• Experience receiving, tracking, staging, and issuing materials within a production environment.
• Strong inventory accuracy and attention to detail.
• Ability to read purchase orders, packing slips, Bills of Materials, and basic production documentation.
• Experience using inventory software, ERP systems, barcode scanners, and Microsoft Excel.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and respond quickly to production needs.
• Ability to operate or become certified to operate forklifts and other material-handling equipment.
• Ability to work onsite in Jurupa Valley, California.

Highly Preferred

• Inventory-control experience within electrical equipment, switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, industrial controls, or another complex manufacturing environment
• Experience with project-specific manufacturing inventory and Bills of Materials
• Material allocation
• Serial-number tracking
• Job costing
• Cycle counting
• Inventory reconciliation
• Experience implementing or improving inventory-control procedures
• Familiarity with Siemens, Eaton, Square D, ABB, or similar electrical components
• Forklift certification

What We Are Looking For

We are particularly interested in someone who can do more than process transactions. The right candidate should be capable of identifying inventory-control problems, improving organization and accuracy, and helping create processes that keep production supplied without unnecessary shortages or delays.
