Safety, Compliance & Risk Management:
- Ensure all chemical storage complies with local, state, and federal regulations
- Partner with the EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) team to ensure precise segregation of incompatible chemicals and compliance with maximum allowable quantities (MAQs).
- Maintain flawless documentation for chemical traceability, lot tracking, and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) records for all incoming raw materials.
Leadership & Continuous Improvement:
- Supervise, train, and mentor a team of shipping/receiving clerks, material handlers, and warehouse personnel.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives (Lean, 5S, Six Sigma) to optimize warehouse space utilization, reduce material handling steps, and minimize chemical waste.
- Develop, monitor, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Inventory Turnover, Carrying Costs, Stockout Rates, and Cycle Count Accuracy.
Culture: Foster accountability, operational discipline, and a continuous improvement mindset.

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's degree in business, Supply Chain, or related technical field; APICS/CPIM/CSCP preferred.
Experience: Minimum 5 years in production planning, inventory control, warehouse management, or manufacturing operations, including at least 2 years in a leadership role.
