What You'Ll Do

The Materials Manager for Transformers owns the flow of materials behind our transformer production — metal tanks, core coil, dielectric oil, and assembly components — from BOM accuracy and demand planning through to materials staged and ready to build. You will manage materials planning and scheduling across our transformer contract manufacturers, keep production supplied against manufacturing capacity, and manage the risk, lead time, and tariff exposure of a global transformer supply base. This role is the connective tissue between Procurement, Production, Engineering, and our contract manufacturers.

Where you'll work This role is based out of our Houston location.

Responsibilities

BOM Materials Planning Own BOM accuracy and structure for transformer products — tanks, core coil, oil, and assembly hardware — in the ERP/MRP system Translate the production schedule into materials

Requirements (MRP)

; convert demand into supplier releases and purchase requisitions Manage engineering change (ECO) impact on existing transformer inventory and open orders Support New Product Introduction (NPI) — ensure long-lead components (core steel, copper/aluminum winding, tanks) are ordered early enough to hit pilot build and factory acceptance test (FAT) dates Scheduling Capacity Build and maintain the master production schedule (MPS) for the transformer line, reconciled against real contract manufacturer capacity Coordinate build schedules with tank fabricators, core coil winders, and final assembly contract manufacturers Participate in S OP/demand planning to align transformer production plans with sales forecasts Inventory Stock Management Own inventory strategy — safety stock levels, buffer stock, and build-to-order vs. , bonded warehousing, duty drawback) to manage tariff cost impact Manage logistics and expediting decisions — air vs.

Requirements
