Position Overview
The ERP Material Control Lead owns the ERP Material Control function end-to-end, serving as the critical bridge between Engineering BOMs and the systems Procurement, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing execute against. The Lead is accountable for BOM/ERP data integrity in both Arizona and Buffalo. This role manages the ERP Material Control Coordinator and provides technical direction and training.
Key Responsibilities
BOM Lifecycle & Data Integrity
•
Own MBOM readiness review and PBOM creation/maintenance for all active programs (20+ across Phoenix and Buffalo)
•
Reconcile EBOM and MBOM on release; build the indented manufacturing structure required for the ERP
•
Own initial ERP item setup, BOM upload, and demand creation; prevent duplicate item creation through system record review
•
Maintain ongoing alignment between the working BOM, PBOM, and ERP as designs mature part substitutions, additions, removals, ECN/ECR changes
•
Manage demand adjustments as quantities increase, decrease, or are eliminated
Engineering & Manufacturing Coordination
•
Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to validate raw-material requirements for MAKE items, including material type/specification, stock form, size, quantity, and other attributes needed to support accurate purchasing and ERP demand
•
Review engineering drawings and BOM structures as needed to validate parent-child relationships, assembly/subassembly hierarchy, quantities, and downstream ERP structure; identify discrepancies and route technical questions back to the appropriate Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering owner
•
Serve as the point of coordination across Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Procurement, Supply Chain, IT, and Production for BOM/system questions
•
For projects where Procurement must buy ahead of a complete MBOM (e.g., early PO releases), work directly with Design and Manufacturing Engineering to build the interim structure needed to purchase
Process Definition & Continuous Improvement
•
Define and document the BOM lifecycle process (Engineering release to MBOM to PBOM to ERP to demand to production handoff) and drive consistent ownership at each stage
•
Manage the pre-production-to-production handoff so BOM/system ownership formally transfers to Manufacturing/Production Engineering, rather than remaining with this team indefinitely
•
Partner with each sites ERP administrator on system setup, upload mechanics, and process optimization
Team Leadership & Development
•
Train and provide technical direction to the ERP Material Control Coordinator
•
Set standards and expectations for BOM data quality, accuracy, and process compliance
•
Build the Coordinators technical understanding and site-specific ERP proficiency to ensure Buffalo has continuity and a trained second resource

•
Hands-on proficiency with ERP systems (experience with multiple systems preferred) including BOM modules, demand planning, and inventory management
•
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, product specifications, assembly instructions, and technical documentation
•
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, including fabrication, assembly, subassembly structures, and production workflows
•
Experience with change management, including Engineering Change Notices (ECN), Engineering Change Requests (ECR), and revision control
•
Demonstrated ability to identify and resolve data discrepancies, quality issues, and system problems under production pressure
•
Strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to interact effectively with cross-functional teams across Engineering, Operations, and IT

Experience in a multi-site or matrix manufacturing environment with different ERP systems at different locations
•
Background in fabrication, metalworking, assembly operations, or contract manufacturing
•
Experience with Production/Product lifecycle management (PLM) or engineering data management systems
•
Familiarity with MRP/MPS (Master Production Scheduling) concepts and demand forecasting
•
Certification in supply chain management (APICS CSCP, CPIM) or equivalent professional development
•
SQL or basic database query experience for data extraction and reporting
