· Support manual cycle counts, part identification, and kit building for rebuilt pump assemblies.
· Oversee and recommend inventory location improvements to enhance efficiency and process flow.
· Maintain accurate paper-based inventory tracking and documentation.
· Collaborate with the production and warehouse teams to ensure inventory and machining activities align with production demands.
· Support a positive work environment by becoming a champion for a good work culture.
· Contribute to a clean, safe, and organized work environment in compliance with company policies.
· All other duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
