The Material Planner's responsibilities include evaluating inventory usage, maintaining material lead time data accuracy, coordinating with other internal departments for proactive material appropriation, and establishing inventory stocking levels consistent with facility demand.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
