Responsibilities

Role Purpose:
Local field resource responsible for jobsite execution, scanning materials, replenishing stock, maintaining inventory accuracy, and supporting the Material Solutions Team.

The Inventory Coordinator, BASE Power serves as Crawford’s dedicated onsite material-management resource supporting assigned BASE Power operations.

This hands-on, customer-facing role is responsible for keeping critical electrical material available, accurate, organized, and moving so BASE electricians and field teams can perform their work without unnecessary material delays.

The Inventory Coordinator owns day-to-day execution of the assigned location’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and consignment programs, including receiving, stocking, replenishment, inventory accuracy, material requests, returns, and communication with BASE personnel and Crawford support teams.

The expectation is not simply to count inventory. The Inventory Coordinator must understand what the location needs, identify problems before they become disruptions, communicate quickly, and take ownership through resolution.

ABOUT BASE POWER

BASE Power is a key Crawford customer with a growing network of operating locations supported by Crawford’s Material Solutions team. Crawford provides onsite support that includes inventory management, VMI and consignment, replenishment, facility and storeroom setup, and ongoing material-management services. The Inventory Coordinator serves as an important onsite connection between BASE Power and Crawford, helping ensure materials are available, inventory remains accurate, and day-to-day service expectations are met.

WORK HOURS- 6.30am - 2.30pm, M-F

Key Functions & Responsibilities:

• Materials Availability and Replenishment
  • Maintain reliable availability of electrical material needed for installation, maintenance, and service work.
  • Monitor inventory levels, usage, open replenishment, shortages, and backorders.
  • Replenish inventory and escalate shortages before they affect field operations whenever possible.
  • Review minimum and maximum stocking levels as demand changes and recommend adjustments based on actual usage.
  • Recognize the difference between installation demand and service demand and adjust the inventory strategy accordingly.
  • Follow material issues through until product is physically available, not simply until an order or transfer is placed.
  Inventory Accuracy & Control
  • Maintain accurate on-hand quantities through disciplined receiving, scanning, cycle counting, adjustments, and transaction processing.
  • Perform scheduled inventory counts, investigate discrepancies, and correct inaccurate records promptly.
  • Maintain accurate labels, bin locations, item identification, and storage locations.
  • Identify slow-moving, excess, obsolete, damaged, or incorrectly stocked material and coordinate corrective action.
  • Perform counts and corrections in accordance with established billing and transaction controls.
  Receiving, Stocking & Material Flow
  • Receive incoming Crawford material and verify quantity and condition.
  • Stock material promptly in the assigned location and maintain a clean, safe, easy-to-use inventory area.
  • Coordinate transfers, returns, replacements, and material movement between Crawford and BASE locations.
  • Adjust stocking parameters before returning excess inventory so unwanted material does not automatically reorder.
  • Support facility launches, inventory moves, rack installations, relabeling, reorganizations, and physical inventories as needed.
  BASE Customer Support
  • Develop productive working relationships with BASE electricians, field personnel, drivers, warehouse personnel, and local leadership.
  • Be visible and accessible as the onsite Crawford material resource.
  • Respond promptly to questions, material requests, shortages, and service issues.
  • Communicate material arrivals, shortages, substitutions, and other information affecting field teams.
  • Treat each request as owned until resolved or successfully handed off to the appropriate person.

  • Identify recurring stockouts, inaccurate quantities, poor item placement, unnecessary inventory, workflow problems, and other operational friction.
  • Recommend improvements to stocking quantities, storage layouts, labeling, processes, and communication methods.
  • Learn the operating patterns of the assigned BASE location and adapt the material program as needs evolve.
  • Escalate larger issues with enough information for the Material Solutions team to make an effective decision.
  Systems, Documentation & Communication
  • Accurately use StoreroomPro, Eclipse, Slack, Teams, email, scanners, mobile devices, and other required Crawford or BASE systems.
  • Keep inventory transactions and operational records current.
  • Document discrepancies, shortages, returns, adjustments, and unresolved issues.
  • Use established communication channels, so requests remain visible to the appropriate support teams.
  • Escalate urgent shortages and customer-impacting issues rather than relying only on automated alerts.

Qualifications

• Required
  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently in a customer facility with limited direct supervision.
  • Ability to regularly receive, move, stock, and count material.
  • Ability to learn inventory-management software, scanners, mobile applications, and customer communication platforms.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to prioritize multiple material requests and operational issues.
  • Dependable transportation and ability to travel locally as required.
  • Willingness to travel overnight occasionally for training, coverage, program launches, or business needs.
  • Ability to meet the physical requirements associated with receiving, stocking, material handling, walking, standing, driving, and repetitive lifting.
  Preferred
  • Experience in electrical distribution, electrical construction, warehousing, inventory management, VMI, field service, or material handling.
  • Familiarity with electrical products and terminology.
  • Experience supporting electricians, technicians, contractors, field crews, or industrial customers.
