Job Description

<div class="MSWordContent"><p>As Tesla’s Material Manager for the greenfield build of an ambitious manufacturing program in the Greater Houston area, you will own onsite materials leadership from receipt through controlled release to construction and tool install. You will build and lead the receiving, warehouse, logistics coordination, and material control team that keeps the site supplied with accuracy and urgency. This is a high-accountability role for a proven materials leader who treats every delivery, put-away, and issue as schedule-critical, and who refuses to let material flow become the reason manufacturing ramp slips. If you can run a mega-project materials organization with precision, this role was built for you. </div>

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
