At NEDC, we believe that behind every quality product is a team member who takes pride in their work. As our Inventory Specialist, you'll be the guardian of our materials – ensuring everything is in the right place at the right time to support our craftspeople on the production floor.

What You'll Do Every Day

Your Core Responsibilities:

• Be the keeper of our materials - Monitor and maintain inventory levels for both raw materials and finished parts in our well-organized stockroom
• Ensure quality and accuracy - Conduct regular stock checks to verify that everything is accounted for and in perfect condition
• Support our shipping team - Prepare finished goods and materials for our shipping specialists

• Enable production success - Kit materials for production jobs, ensuring our manufacturing team has what they need when they need it
• Champion safety - Follow our comprehensive safety policies and procedures to keep yourself and your teammates safe

• Grow with us - Take on additional projects and responsibilities as opportunities arise

What We're Looking For

Education & Experience:

• At least 1 year of experience in a manufacturing environment (we love candidates who understand the rhythm of production!)
• Permanent right to work in the US for any employer with no current or future visa processing 

Skills That Will Help You Succeed:

• Communication skills - You can read and interpret technical documents, write clear reports, and communicate effectively with team members across departments
• Math confidence - Comfortable with calculations involving discounts, percentages, and basic geometry concepts
• Problem-solving mindset - Ability to think through challenges and follow both written and verbal instructions
• Tech-savvy basics - Experience with spreadsheet software, inventory systems, and our E2 software (or willingness to learn!)

Personal Qualities We Value:

• Positive attitude - You bring good energy to the team
• Multitasking abilities - You can juggle multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy

• Growth mindset - Willingness to develop NEDC inventory expertise over your first year

Certifications You'll Need:

• Commitment to upholding our ISO9001/AS9100 certification standards

What Your Day Looks Like

Physical Environment: This is an active role where you'll spend most of your day on your feet, moving around our organized facility. You'll be walking frequently, using your hands for various tasks, and occasionally reaching, stooping, or lifting materials (up to 50 pounds).

Work Setting: You'll work in our clean, well-maintained manufacturing environment. While it's a structured setting with safety protocols, you'll occasionally work near moving equipment and may be exposed to typical manufacturing conditions like moderate noise levels and occasional temperature variations.

Why You'll Love Working Here
