Ready to own material flow, scheduling, and fulfillment across a complex, multi-site manufacturing environment — all with executive visibility? We’re partnering with a global manufacturer that’s making big moves in the metals space — think steel, aluminum, and copper — and they need a Supply Chain Manager who operates more like a Superintendent: someone hands‑on, forward-thinking, and ready to lead from the front.

Big Scope + Deep Impact: You’ll shape operations across multiple sites while directly influencing plant‑level performance. Metals Focus: If you’ve worked with steel, aluminum, or copper, this is your edge. Real Team Leadership: This isn’t a policy‑writing desk job. You’ll be embedded with your teams, guiding, improving, and mentoring. Tools That Matter: SAP is in place, or experience with other ERPs is a must.
