The Materials Planning Project Manager is a recognized expert in Raymond’s processes and procedures and is a key player in our team’s organizational goals and vision. You will:

• Represent the interests of Materials and Operations on assigned project teams. Coordinate supply chain NPD response, prioritizing/expediting engineering change requests, verifying system take-order readiness, and providing aftermarket planning support for stocked parts.

• Develop project obsolescence plans and ensure system coding identifying phase out parts.
• Act as a high-level supply chain subject matter expert, analyzing and triaging difficult situations, exploring alternative solutions, and mitigating risk.

• Lend support to critical changes and aftermarket campaigns that are not NPD, but which require special analyzing and planning. This may include end of life part planning and/or participation in Corporate Product Health Teams.
