Parts Clerk

Parts Clerk

When a crusher, mixer, or kiln stops, the plant stops with it. This role keeps the right parts in the right place so maintenance can restore production safely and quickly. You will run the storeroom as a control point for uptime, cost, and safety-not as a shelf of spare parts waiting to be counted.

Performance Objectives

• Issue the correct part to the correct work order on the first request, so crews spend their time repairing equipment, not searching the cage.
• Hold inventory accuracy at or above the site target through disciplined receiving, putaway, cycle counts, and documented adjustments.
• Identify critical and long-lead parts before stockouts, and place replenishment so planned outages are not extended by missing components.
• Receive, inspect, and stage inbound parts the same shift they arrive, flagging damage, shortages, and wrong shipments before they enter inventory.
• Reduce obsolete, duplicate, and slow-moving stock by recommending min/max changes and returns that free cash without raising downtime risk.
• Keep the storeroom orderly, labeled, and compliant with site safety rules, including hazardous materials handling and lockout support practices.
• Give supervisors a clear weekly picture of backorders, critical lows, and parts delaying open work orders.

Environment & Resources

You will work on-site in a production storeroom supporting maintenance for heavy process equipment in cement, aggregates, or ready-mixed concrete operations. You report to the maintenance or plant leadership team and partner daily with mechanics, planners, purchasing, and vendors. You will use the site’s computerized maintenance and inventory system, standard catalogs, and established purchasing channels. The role includes a defined parts budget, approved vendor list, and safety procedures-not a blank check and not a paper-only cage.

Essential Qualifications

• Proven storeroom or parts experience in manufacturing, heavy equipment, construction materials, or a comparable industrial setting.
• Hands-on use of an inventory or CMMS system to receive, issue, count, and reconcile parts against work orders.
• Ability to read part numbers, equipment manuals, and bills of material well enough to match the right component without guesswork.
• Working knowledge of min/max, critical spares, and lead times, with a record of preventing avoidable stockouts.
• Comfort with forklifts or other powered equipment where required, and a consistent safety record in an industrial workplace.
• Clear written updates and the discipline to close transactions the same day they happen.

Role Selling Points

• Your accuracy shows up in plant uptime, not in a distant report.
• You support essential infrastructure-materials that become roads, buildings, and communities.
• The operation is investing in lower-carbon products and circular use of materials; reliable parts flow keeps those plants running.
• You will work with experienced maintenance crews on real equipment, not a generic warehouse aisle.
• Performance is visible: fewer stockouts, cleaner counts, faster issue, tighter spend.

If you want a role where the cage you run decides whether the plant runs, apply with a short note on a stockout you prevented and how you proved the count was right.
