Role Overview

As a Materials Analyst supporting our CNC division, you are the critical link between procurement and the production floor.

Key Responsibilities 

• Material Procurement & Ordering: Execute purchase requisitions for raw materials, aerospace-grade alloys, and tooling based on ERP/MRP requirements to ensure zero production downtime.
• Epicor ERP Management: Maintain 100% accuracy of material data within Epicor ERP, including tracking shipments, updating stock levels, and managing job releases through the Production Planner Workbench.
• Process Adherence: Follow strict work instructions and aerospace quality standards for receiving, labeling, and kitting materials to ensure full traceability.
• Dynamic Task Prioritization: Navigate daily "hot" priorities by pausing administrative tasks to address urgent manufacturing needs (e.g., AOG situations or machine-down shortages) and picking back up exactly where you left off.
• Inventory Integrity: Conduct regular cycle counts and reconcile discrepancies within Epicor to maintain high inventory accuracy levels.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Serve as the central point of contact between CNC machinists, engineering, and external suppliers to resolve delivery delays or material quality issues.

 Required Skills & Qualifications

• Experience: 2+ years in a materials coordination or administrative role within a manufacturing setting; aerospace or CNC experience is highly preferred.
• Technical Proficiency: Strong working knowledge of Epicor ERP or a similar robust ERP system (e.g., SAP, Oracle).
• Organizational Skills: Exceptional ability to manage a "moving target" workload, with proven skills in multi-tasking and documentation.
• Communication: Clear, concise communication style suitable for a fast-paced shop floor and professional vendor relations.
• Reliability: A "servant's attitude" toward supporting the team, aligned with RCO Engineering’s core values of integrity, teamwork, and quality.
