POSITION SUMMARY
The Supply Chain Specialist II handles RFQs for hardware, outside processes, and repeat work, manages 
inventory, and owns a portfolio of open purchase orders from placement through receipt. The role works with 
little day-to-day direction and resolves supplier and receiving issues before they hold up production or 
shipment.
This is the experienced execution level of the supply chain team. The Specialist II trains and backs up

Planner role.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
RFQs & Quoting
• Issue and manage RFQs for hardware, outside processes (plating, heat treat, NDT, painting, and 
similar), and repeat work, using approved vendor list (AVL) suppliers.
• Compare quotes for price, lead time, and compliance with drawing, specification, and QPL/NADCAP 
requirements, and recommend a supplier to the Planner.
• Keep quote files current so repeat buys can be placed quickly; route new parts, new suppliers, and nonstandard terms to the Planner.
Inventory Management
• Maintain accurate on-hand inventory in Industrios ERP, including stock locations, transactions, and 
adjustments.
• Monitor stock levels for hardware and other stocked items, and initiate replenishment before shortages 
affect production.
• Perform cycle counts, investigate and resolve count discrepancies, and support physical inventories.
• Keep inventory traceable to lot, heat, and certification records, and identify and segregate customerowned or government-furnished material.
Purchasing & Expediting
• Own a portfolio of open purchase orders from placement through receipt and close-out, including repeat 
and low-value buys within assigned approval limits.
• Apply the correct quality clauses and contract flow-down requirements (customer, DFARS, ITAR) to each
PO and confirm suppliers acknowledge them.
• Expedite past-due and at-risk orders, confirm recovery dates in writing, and update the team open-order 
tracker.
Documentation & Team Support
• Check supplier certifications against PO requirements (specification, revision, material, process, and 
traceability) and flag gaps to Quality. Quality retains authority for product acceptance.
• Prepare return paperwork and track supplier returns and replacements for nonconforming material in 
coordination with Quality.
• Train Supply Chain Specialist I team members and cover their workload when needed.
• Handle export-controlled drawings and technical data according to Aereos ITAR procedures.
