Are you an organized, detail-oriented Inventory Clerk looking for an exciting new role in Brantford, Ontario? We are seeking a dedicated Inventory Clerk to join a dynamic manufacturing & logistics team for an immediate 3-month contract. Offering a competitive pay rate of $25.00 to $27.00 per hour, this role is an excellent opportunity to showcase your expertise in warehouse operations, order management, and stock control within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

As an Inventory Clerk in the manufacturing & logistics sector, you will play an essential role in keeping production running smoothly and ensuring complete accuracy across all inventory records. Working closely with the shipping, sales, and material handling departments, you will be responsible for tracking raw materials, components, and finished goods throughout the facility. From conducting regular cycle counts and annual inventory audits to managing order fulfillment data, your work directly impacts operational efficiency, cost management, and overall supply chain success.

In this multifaceted Inventory Clerk role, you will utilize enterprise MRP software such as CSI10 alongside tools like Microsoft Excel to track stock movements, analyze job quantity variances, and execute production job close reconciliations. You will also collaborate directly with the sales department by calculating exact carton and crate counts per pallet—including total weight and dimensions—to support precise customer quotes and bidding processes. Furthermore, you will work closely with material handlers to ensure materials are issued accurately to active production jobs, verify that finished goods are properly put away, and serve as key backup support for shipping and receiving operations.

• Maintain, update, and audit digital inventory records daily within CSI10 or equivalent MRP systems, sharing real-time status updates with management and key stakeholders.
• Implement loss prevention initiatives and control programs to proactively minimize inventory discrepancies and stock shrinkage.
