Job Description

Now Hiring: Inventory Control Specialist

Location:  Auburn Service Center, Auburn, WA (with regular travel to OHT locations)

Job Type:  Full Time, hourly

Pay: $23.00 – $28.00 per hour, depending on experience

About the Role:

Olympic Hot Tub is looking for a detail-driven Inventory Control Specialist to help us keep a tight, lean inventory across our showrooms, warehouse, and service operations. You’ll own the purchasing cycle from reorder alert to purchase order, keep an eye on vendor costs, help solve supply shortages, and run a structured schedule of cycle counts and stock reviews. This is a purchasing and inventory control role, not a warehouse position, and it works closely with our accounting team.

Our processes are documented and we’ll train you on our systems. What we can’t train is attention to detail and the discipline to follow a routine accurately, every time. If you’re the person who notices when a number is off, likes a well-organized calendar, and wants real-world experience in purchasing and inventory control, we’d like to hear from you.

What You’ll Do:

• Place vendor purchase orders from system reorder alerts and for customer orders, and follow up on lead times, shipments, backorders, and discontinued items
• Review vendor cost changes, update pricing according to company guidelines, and support vendor negotiations for better pricing and terms
• Coordinate the inventory control calendar and conduct cycle counts at our warehouse and showroom locations, researching variances and reviewing stock against sales
• Run and evaluate reports to keep reorder points accurate and inventory lean
• Set up and maintain new items in our inventory system and monitor non-inventory supply levels across locations

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in inventory control, purchasing, accounting, order processing, or a similar detail-oriented role, or an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in a related field
• Exceptional attention to detail and a strong preference for routine and structure
• Strong math, analytical, and organizational skills
• Excel skills, including sorting, filtering, and formulas
• Clear, professional communication with vendors and coworkers
• Current, valid Washington State driver’s license and an acceptable driving record
• Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs

Nice to Have:

• Multi-site retail inventory or cycle count experience
• Experience with an ERP or inventory management system (Evosus a plus)

What We Offer:

• Medical, Dental & Vision
• Two weeks paid vacation (increases with tenure)
• Paid sick time
• Eight paid holidays + floating anniversary day
• Simple IRA with company match
• Employee discounts on products and services
• Paid training and hands-on experience in purchasing, inventory control, and vendor management

Hiring Process:

Our hiring process includes a brief skills assessment focused on accuracy, attention to detail, and basic Excel.
