ResponsibilitiesRole Purpose: Onsite 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.

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.

- Perform scheduled inventory counts, investigate discrepancies, and correct inaccurate records promptly.
- Maintain accurate labels, bin locations, item identification, and storage locations.

- Be visible and accessible as the onsite Crawford material resource.

- Escalate larger issues with enough information for the Material Solutions team to make an effective decision.
Systems, Documentation & Communication

- 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.
QualificationsRequired- 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.

The role involves a combination of driving, walking, standing, and hands‑on material handling, with work conducted in both indoor and outdoor environments depending on location.
