Job description

Nox Metals is a technology company in Detroit supplying metal. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible. Shift Hours: Day shift (8AM to 4PM), with flexibility to cover second and weekend shifts as needed..

You will:

  • Receive all inbound material and verify it against the BOL, packing slip, and PO before the driver leaves
  • Log every receipt into our system, tag it, and put it where it belongs
  • Keep certification and traceability documents permanently tied to the physical material
  • Run a rolling cycle count program and chase every variance to root cause
  • Direct material handlers on receiving and put-away priorities, and write the procedures they follow
  • Tell our engineers what the inventory software needs to do. When something on the floor is broken, you define the fix

You are:

  • Precise with numbers and paperwork. A count that is close is a count that is wrong
  • Comfortable on a warehouse floor, on your feet, running a forklift
  • Strong with spreadsheets and quick to pick up new software
  • Willing to hold a line on process, including with people senior to you
  • Comfortable being the first person in this seat, building a system instead of inheriting one
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs and remain on your feet for a full shift
  • Never says "that's not my job"

Nice to have:

  • Metals, aerospace, defense, or other regulated-material experience
  • Familiarity with mill test reports, DFARS, or ISO 9001
  • Cycle counting or physical inventory program experience
  • Freight quoting or carrier negotiation exposure
  • WMS or ERP experience of any kind
  • Comfortable using AI tools to work faster and smarter

The role is full time, in person in Detroit.
