About the role
The Materials Manager manages on-site material receiving, laydown, storage, and inventory control for a data center build, ensuring material availability aligns with the installation schedule. This is a boots-on-the-ground ownership role: if the field is waiting on material that's already on site but can't be found, that's the failure this role exists to prevent.
What they're looking for
- - 5+ years in site materials management, warehousing, or field logistics on industrial, power, or data center construction projects
- - Direct experience receiving and storing major electrical/mechanical equipment, including OEM preservation requirements
- - Strong inventory-control discipline: location systems, cycle counts, and reconciliation habits that hold up under audit
- - Fluency with inventory/ERP tools and Excel, barcode/scanning system experience a plus
- - Comfortable operating daily in an active construction environment alongside superintendents and trade crews
- - Forklift certification and rigging awareness preferred, OSHA 10/30 a plus
