About the Job

Requirements

  • Three to five years of dedicated supply chain experience, including at least two years focused on inventory or item modules and a good understanding of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
  • Prior experience in asset-intensive environments such as metal recycling, heavy manufacturing, mining, production, or heavy industrial logistics.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including VLOOKUPs, Power Query, and PivotTables; Microsoft Access; Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications coding; and Structured Query Language (SQL) for extracting, automating, filtering, and preparing large inventory datasets for system uploads.
  • A bachelor's degree or professional college diploma in Supply Chain Management, Operations Logistics, Data Analytics, or a related field.
  • Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and the ability to negotiate priorities between data standards and urgent business needs.

Responsibilities

  • Administer the article master-data catalog in IBM Maximo by managing the full lifecycle of inventory stock-keeping unit (SKU) numbers, including creation, validation, modification, and archiving, in a multisite environment.
  • Enforce rigorous naming conventions, asset hierarchies, units-of-measure (UOM) conversions, Min-EOQ parameters, and commodity classifications for spare parts, wear parts, and metal categories.
  • Create and audit bills of materials (BOMs) and links to rotating items in Maximo to clearly associate components with the relevant shredders, shears, and heavy-equipment fleets.
  • Conduct regular data-quality audits to remove duplicates, correct description inconsistencies, and ensure accurate supplier cross-references.
  • Calculate and adjust reorder points (ROP), safety-stock levels, and Min/Max thresholds in the enterprise asset management platform, such as IBM Maximo, based on supplier lead times and seasonal volume fluctuations.
  • Work closely with maintenance planners and engineering teams to forecast critical spare-parts needs ahead of planned major work or plant shutdowns.
  • Own the end-to-end automated replenishment process in the enterprise asset management platform, such as IBM Maximo; generate, validate, and approve purchase requisitions (PRs) triggered by the system before forwarding them to procurement teams.
  • Track and communicate key supply-chain performance indicators, including inventory turnover, dormant-stock rate, and stockout frequency.
  • Identify cost-reduction opportunities by finding slow-moving, obsolete, or duplicate items across interconnected regional warehouses.
