The Integrated Supply Chain & Asset Management (ISCM) leader owns enterprise strategy, standards, and oversight for materials, inventory, tools, and fleet assets. This role defines the processes, systems, financial controls, and operating models that ensure assets are planned, procured, and tracked consistently across the organization. The ISCM leader partners closely with Field Operations, Project Management, Safety, Accounting/Finance, and IT to establish clear standards and scalable processes that enable efficient execution, strong cost control, and reliable asset availability across all locations and job sites.

Inventory, Warehousing, and Material Flow

• Define and maintain enterprise standards for inventory management, warehousing, and material flow (min/max, reorder points, cycle counts, excess/obsolete disposition).
• Establish the inventory planning and SIOP framework to align supply with project and service demand.
• Set standards for receiving storage layout, material handling, and jobsite returns to ensure consistency, visibility, and financial accuracy across locations.
• Partner with Field Leadership to define the hub‑and‑spoke logistics model, ensuring repeatable, scalable practices.

Procurement Strategy & Support

• Own the supply planning and SIOP cadence, aligning demand forecasts, capacity constraints, and cross‑functional commitments.
• Define procurement standards and decision frameworks for equipment, inventory, MRO, and fleet assets.
• Provide oversight for supplier selection, preferred vendor programs, and category strategies focused on total cost of ownership, reliability, and lead times.
• Identify supply risks and establish mitigation standards for critical materials and assets.

Asset & Equipment Management Standards

• Establish enterprise asset lifecycle standards covering specification, acquisition, tagging, deployment, utilization tracking, maintenance, calibration, and end‑of‑life disposition.
• Define accountability models for tool and equipment tracking, including check‑in/check‑out requirements and loss prevention expectations.
• Set maintenance, inspection, and documentation standards to support safety, audits, warranty compliance, and financial controls.
• Define the framework for internal equipment charging and job cost allocation, including usage rates and recovery expectations.

Fleet & Vehicle Program Oversight

• Own the fleet operating model, standards, and lifecycle strategy across all locations.
• Define fleet replacement criteria, utilization expectations, and capital planning inputs.
• Establish compliance standards in partnership with Safety, HR, and Operations (DOT, inspections, reporting, driver requirements).
• Provide oversight of fleet vendors and managed service providers.

Systems, Controls, and Reporting

• Define the systems architecture and data standards for inventory, asset, and fleet management (ERP, asset tools, fleet systems, tracking solutions).
• Establish KPIs, dashboards, and reporting standards for leadership visibility (utilization, loss/shrink, uptime, turns, compliance).
• Partner with Finance to ensure alignment on capitalization, depreciation inputs, inventory valuation, and job cost structures.
• Own SOP standards, audit expectations, and training frameworks to ensure consistent execution.

Leadership & Continuous Improvement

• Lead and develop the supply chain and asset management operating model, ensuring clear roles, accountability, and scalability.
• Provide oversight and performance management for operational asset teams.
• Drive cross‑functional improvement initiatives that reduce cost, increase availability, and improve field productivity.
• Promote a safety‑first culture through standards, training, and accountability.

Qualifications

You’re someone who shows up ready to work hard, learn fast, and contribute to a team that takes pride in doing things right. Successful candidates typically bring:

• 5-7 years of progressive experience in materials management, supply chain, logistics, asset management, fleet operations, or equipment management—ideally in construction, electrical contracting, industrial services, or a similarly field-deployed environment.

• Comfortable using systems and data to drive decisions (ERP, inventory systems, fleet/asset tools, reporting).
• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel to company locations and jobsites (travel expectations vary; estimate 20–40% depending on project load).

Bonus Points:

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
