We don’t just design HVAC equipment — we build scalable, engineered systems that perform in demanding environments. Our strength comes from long-tenured employees, strong cross-functional collaboration, and disciplined engineering processes.

We are looking for a Materials Manager who operates with a high degree of structure, precision, and accountability—someone who can bring discipline to inventory control, purchasing, scheduling, and supplier management in a complex, engineered to order environment. The right individual will be detail driven, analytical, and comfortable owning results in a role where accuracy and follow through directly impact production performance.

Why join us?

Compensation & Benefits:
o Competitive Base Salary: Competitive base salary commensurate with experience and qualifications.
o Comprehensive Benefits Package, including health coverage, 401K + company match, profit sharing,
and professional development support.

Job Details

The Materials Manager is a key leader in our custom HVAC manufacturing environment, responsible for ensuring
