MRO Inventory Manager

We've partnered with a leading energy organization to find their next MRO Inventory Manager - Northwest Indiana. This MRO Inventory Manager will own the full lifecycle of maintenance, repair & operations inventory — from stocking strategies and critical spares to vendor coordination and storeroom operations. This isn't a desk job. If you're most comfortable in out in the field, in a storeroom, on a plant floor, and knee-deep in parts data — please keep reading.

What you'll be doing:

• Setting min/max levels, safety stock, and reorder points for critical spares
• Working alongside maintenance planners and reliability engineers to stay ahead of demand
• Supporting shutdowns and turnarounds with advanced kitting and materials readiness
• Keeping CMMS/ERP data clean and actionable (SAP, Maximo, etc.)
• Driving storeroom organization, cycle counts, and inventory accuracy
• Identifying slow-moving/obsolete stock and building rationalization plans
  
  

What we're looking for:

• 4 years in MRO inventory, maintenance planning, or industrial warehousing
• Strong CMMS/ERP experience
• Real understanding of industrial equipment and maintenance practices
• Comfortable in a heavy industrial environment — this site involves wearing PPE, and outdoor exposure. It's not glamorous, and that's okay.
• Proactive mindset — lead times here run 3-4 months, so reactive ordering isn't an option
  
  

Bonus points for:

• Background in manufacturing, chemical processing, or heavy industry
• CPM, CPIM, CSCP, or CMRP certification
• Experience with VMI, Kanban, 5S, or reliability-centered maintenance
  
  

Bachelor's degree in supply chain, engineering, business, or related field preferred — or equivalent hands-on experience.

If you know MRO and you're not afraid to get your hands dirty (literally), would love to hear from you.
