Responsibilities

Synchronize 10 Regional Branches: Orchestrate inventory balancing and high-volume Multi-Branch Transfers (MBTs) across all 10 Connecticut facilities to ensure localized material and equipment availability.
Master Epicor Eclipse Purchasing: Leverage the Epicor Eclipse ERP to dictate purchasing queues, forecast diverse product demands—ranging from bulk construction supplies to high-turnover tools—and automate multi-location replenishment schedules.
Manage and Improve Core Inventory KPIs: Establish, monitor, and take accountability for regional inventory health by driving improvements across specific performance metrics: Days Sales of Inventory (DSI), Inventory Turns, Item Outs by Branch, and Economic On-Hand Quantities (EOQ).
Manage Equipment & Serialized Inventory: Maintain precise ledger controls over high-value construction equipment, power tools, and machinery, ensuring accurate serial number tracking within the ERP.
Control Aged and Legacy Inventory: Audit the 10-branch network to identify slow-moving supplies, obsolete tools, and discontinued legacy building materials. Design and execute markdown, transfer, or liquidation strategies to clear warehouse and yard space.
Mitigate Excess Stock Accumulation: Establish proactive ERP triggers and threshold alerts within Eclipse to prevent over-purchasing. Rapidly reallocate unexpected bulk surpluses or canceled project supply orders to branches with higher local demand.
Govern High-Value Material Security: Oversee strict cyclical auditing, secure storage protocols, and tracking measures for high-value tools, equipment, specialized components, and premium materials to minimize shrinkage.
Manage Specialized Fleet Operations: Direct the routing, tracking, and asset utilization of a commercial flatbed fleet split between vehicle-mounted Moffett forklifts and mechanical knuckle boom unloading systems.
Optimize Local Delivery & Dispatch: Utilize native Eclipse dispatch tools or integrated logistics software like Epicor Elite EXTRA to maintain real-time route optimization and high-accuracy Proof of Delivery (POD) loops.
Enforce CDL Safety & Compliance: Oversee commercial driver qualification files, strict Department of Transportation (DOT) roadside compliance, vehicle maintenance schedules, and FMCSA safety protocols for all CDL-rated staff.
Execute Job-Site Drop Strategies: Build precise delivery protocols tailored for complex, active construction sites, mitigating transport risk when operating heavy material-handling equipment around tradespeople.
Drive Regional Margin Control: Partner with manufacturers and tool/equipment vendors to execute opportunistic buying, manage bulk stock allocations, and protect commodity margins in fluctuating markets.
