•MUST HAVE
PURCHASING AND/OR MATERIAL PLANNING EXPERIENCE IN A MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT
•The Opportunity Our client is one of the fastest-growing power distribution manufacturers in the country - scaling from $60M to $200M in revenue this year, with $300-400M projected next. They are sold out through next year and actively turning down $20M projects because they don't yet have the team to execute. You could be one of the people who changes that. The Company Born out of a $250M exit in precision sheet metal manufacturing, this privately held, debt-free startup has grown into a vertically integrated power distribution manufacturer in under two years. Their 115,000 sq ft Marietta facility assembles PDUs, switchgear, RPPs, and transfer switches - with sister facilities handling sheet metal fabrication, in-house transformer manufacturing, and on-site testing. A 250,000
sq ft facility in West Virginia was just acquired to support continued expansion. The COO who recently joined previously took a major manufacturer from a 16-week lead time to 3-5 days. The supply chain team is being built to match that standard. The Role This is a dual-function role sitting at the intersection of procurement and material planning. You'll be responsible for making sure the right components are on hand at the right time to keep an active ETO production operation running - coordinating daily with project management, production, engineering, and suppliers to prevent shortages before they become schedule impacts. You'll report to the Director of Supply Chain at hire, transitioning to the incoming Materials Manager as the team builds out. This is a high-visibility seat in a small, fast-moving operation where your work shows up on the shop floor the same day. What You'll Own Purchase order execution and supplier follow-up for electromechanical components across an active project portfolio Material planning and demand forecasting within the ERP/MRP system Daily shortage management - identifying at-risk materials early and driving resolution Supplier communication: lead time confirmation, expediting, discrepancy resolution BOM and inventory data accuracy within the ERP system Coordination with Buyer/Planner teammates, project managers, and production on material readiness What We're Looking For Must-Have:
3-5+ years of combined buying and/or material planning experience in a manufacturing environment ERP/MRP proficiency - SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Infor, or comparable Solid understanding of MRP logic, demand planning, and procurement fundamentals Nice-to-Have:
Power distribution, electrical switchgear, or critical power industry experience APICS CPIM or CSCP certification Lean/Six Sigma exposure Why Now The people joining this company in the next 12 months are getting in at an early stage of something that by every trajectory is a billion-dollar business within three to five years. This is a full-time, on-site role - remote and hybrid will not be considered. If you're a sharp supply chain operator who wants to feel the impact of your work every day - let's talk.
