About the Role

As Materials Manager, you will be responsible for leading inventory management, warehouse, and logistics activities to ensure materials are available when needed while maintaining efficient inventory levels. The role balances operational priorities with corporate inventory objectives and contributes directly to business performance through effective planning, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.

Working closely with Operations, Purchasing, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Logistics teams, you will identify opportunities to improve inventory accuracy, streamline material flow, and enhance operational efficiency.

About the Business
