Material Control Technician

Voyager Technologies • Pueblo, CO

2d • Onsite

About The Position

The Material Control Technician will be located onsite in Pueblo, CO and reports to the Materials & Production Planning Manager. This role is the physical backbone of the materials and production planning function — responsible for the movement, staging, and storage of materials between receiving, warehouse storage areas, and the production floor. Where the Shipping & Receiving Clerk owns the dock and inbound documentation, the Material Handler owns what happens next: getting materials from storage to where they are needed, when they are needed, in the correct quantity and condition to support uninterrupted production. In a defense energetics manufacturing environment, this role demands strict adherence to explosive material handling protocols, lot traceability requirements, and safety procedures at every step of the material movement process.

Requirements

• High School Diploma or equivalent.
• Must be 21 years of age or older.
• Must be able to pass a pre-employment drug screening and State and Federal background checks.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain State and Federal explosives licenses.
• 1–3 years of material handling, warehouse, or production floor experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Ability to operate a forklift and pallet jack; forklift certification required or must be obtained upon hire.
• Ability to lift, carry, and move materials up to 50 pounds on a sustained basis throughout the workday.
• High attention to detail — accurate lot tracking and inventory transaction documentation is a compliance requirement, not a preference.
• Ability to read and interpret work orders, bills of materials, and bin location assignments.
• Basic proficiency with ERP/MRP systems for inventory transactions; NetSuite experience a plus.
• Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in defense, aerospace, chemical, energetics, or other regulated manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with lot and serial number traceability requirements in a defense or AS9100-certified manufacturing environment.
• Experience with kitting and staging materials against bill of materials in a production scheduling environment.
• Familiarity with ATF explosive material handling and storage requirements, or willingness to obtain required training upon hire.
• OSHA 10 certification or equivalent safety training a plus.

Responsibilities

• Move materials from the receiving area to designated warehouse storage locations following established put-away procedures, bin assignments, and lot/serial tracking requirements.
• Stage materials, components, and kitted parts to production floor work centers in alignment with work order schedules and production priorities communicated by the planning team.
• Pull materials against work orders and bill of materials (BOM) requirements; confirm quantity, lot number, and part number accuracy before staging to production — do not stage unverified materials.
• Coordinate with the Shipping & Receiving Clerk on inbound material handoff after receiving inspection clearance; coordinate with the Quality Senior Receiving Technician on material inspection status before moving materials into active inventory.
• Return unused, excess, or rejected materials to the correct storage location or quarantine area; update ERP/MRP system (NetSuite) inventory transactions accurately for all movements.
• Operate forklift, pallet jack, and other material handling equipment safely and in compliance with site safety requirements; maintain equipment in good working order and report deficiencies immediately.
• Maintain organized, clean, and compliant storage areas — including energetics storage locations — in accordance with ATF, OSHA, and site safety requirements for explosive material storage and handling.
• Support cycle counting and physical inventory activities by accurately counting, confirming, and recording inventory quantities in designated locations.
• Identify and immediately escalate damaged, non-conforming, or mislabeled materials to the Materials & Logistics Coordinator or planning team — do not move suspect materials without authorization.
• Maintain lot and serial number traceability throughout all material movements; ensure no material is staged or issued to production without proper ERP system transaction documentation.
• Follow all Division 1.1 explosives handling protocols, PPE requirements, and site safety procedures at all times when working near or handling energetic materials.

• 401(k) retirement plan with a 50% company match on contributions up to 8%
