• Full-time Supply Chain Manager (MRP-Driven Manufacturing Environment) Overview We are seeking a highly engaged, detail-obsessed Supply Chain Manager who takes full ownership of every line item on an MRP report.

This role requires someone who naturally dives deep into the details, understanding part numbers, how components are manufactured, how materials are cut and processed, and how substitutions impact production.
