Inventory Clerk & Material Mover

Overview: The Inventory Clerk / Material Mover is the physical and transactional execution layer of the inventory function at Novia Corporation. This is a hands-on role responsible for the daily movement, organization, receiving, put-away, staging, and counting of inventory across the facility, and, over time, the SAP Business One (SAP B1) transactional entries that keep the system accurate.

This role reports administratively to the Finance Director and takes day-to-day technical direction from the Inventory Lead on inventory-related tasks. The position is integral to keeping production moving, jobs shipping on time, and inventory records accurate. It offers a defined growth path from physical execution into full SAP B1 transactional fluency, with expanding responsibility as system knowledge builds.

This is a temp-to-permanent opportunity. The right candidate will demonstrate reliability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn, and will earn permanent placement with a clear progression in scope and skill as system knowledge builds.

• Move materials throughout the facility in response to production demand, job staging needs, and stockroom replenishment

• Conduct quality assurance checks on kits, components, and finished goods to confirm accuracy and completeness

• Begin with basic SAP Business One transactional entries under direction of the Inventory Lead
• Progress to independent execution of routine SAP entries, receipts, transfers, location changes, count adjustments

• Develop full transactional fluency in SAP B1 over time, a marketable, transferable skill set
• Other duties as assigned in the best interest of the business
