  • Experience with ERP / MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Epicor, or similar).
  • Strong skills in Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word).
  • Excellent communication and follow-up abilities with vendors and internal teams.
  • Strong attention to detail and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
  • Able to work in a team-oriented environment and manage multiple priorities.

    • Nice-to-Have

  • Experience supporting a manufacturing, electronics, aerospace, or medical device environment.
  • Exposure to purchasing, accounting, or logistics administration.
  • Familiarity with nonconformance or returns processes (RMA / RTV).

    • Why Join Us

  • 9–12 month guaranteed contract with a strong opportunity for permanent conversion.
  • Be part of a collaborative, supportive team that values integrity and continuous improvement.
  • Gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced manufacturing supply chain environment.
