• Create clear handoffs and feedback loops between takeoff, buyout, and fulfillment for tooling and material.
• Implement 5S Strategy for all tooling, trailer buildout, warehousing, and field kit of parts.
• Work with Engineers to document clear, repeatable SOPs for all material and tool workflows. Leadership Growth & Team Development
• As demand scales, recruit and develop a high-performing team to support supply chain, logistics, and tool control.
• Model hands-on ownership in the short term while building systems that enable future delegation.
• Serve as a connector between Field Ops, Manufacturing, Precon, and Finance-ensuring material and tool readiness is never a bottleneck. Qualifications
• 5+ years in manufacturing or construction supply chain, field logistics, or tool control
• Experience implementing Lean systems and 5S practices
• Track record of building operational systems from scratch
• Strong technical proficiency with inventory and tracking systems
• Proven leadership mindset with a bias for execution Creature Values in Action Ownership: Build and own scalable systems that eliminate waste and deliver field impact. Accomplishments: Drive measurable results in material flow and tool control. Conscientiousness: Execute with rigor, care, and attention to detail. Master Communication: Close feedback loops between Manufacturing, Field, Precon, and Finance. Reliability: Be the system backbone that equips and enables field execution. Growth Trajectory This role is designed to grow.
