Operations manager Jobs in Creston, BC

As an Inventory & Stores Coordinator at our WynnWood Sawmill in Wynndel, BC, you'll be the central point of coordination for our inventory, purchasing, and warehouse operations.

• Manage inventory and warehouse operations, including receiving, stocking, issuing, transferring, and tracking materials and parts.
• Monitor inventory levels and maintain appropriate min/max stock levels to support operational reliability.
• Create and manage purchase orders, stock replenishment requests, repair orders, and emergency purchases.
• Coordinate with vendors, buyers, maintenance teams, and accounting to resolve purchasing, invoicing, and inventory-related issues.
• Support maintenance planning through parts kitting, work order preparation, and inventory availability reviews.
• Manage vendor inventory programs and recommend inventory optimization opportunities.
• Facilitate repairs, returns, obsolete inventory disposal, and hazardous materials management activities.
• Participate in maintenance, planning, and cost meetings while providing inventory insights and recommendations.

What Will Help You Succeed

• Minimum two years of experience in inventory management, purchasing, warehousing, stores operations, or a related field.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Mechanical aptitude and an understanding of maintenance environments.
• Experience working with purchasing, inventory, ERP, or procurement systems.
