Legrand has an exciting opportunity for a Supply Chain Manager to join our Wiremold team in West Hartford, CT.

This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for inventory accuracy, material availability, warehouse operations, and material flow throughout the manufacturing facility. The successful candidate will spend significant time on the production floor working directly with production supervisors, inventory personnel, shipping and receiving teams, and buyer/planners to ensure uninterrupted manufacturing operations.

This position is ideal for a practical operations leader who enjoys solving problems in real time, improving inventory processes, supporting production, and driving accountability across plant operations. The role will also play a key part in supporting the facility's transition to SAP S/4HANA and establishing standardized inventory and material management processes.

Inventory Management & Accuracy

  • Lead all activities related to inventory accuracy and inventory control.
  • Drive cycle counting programs and physical inventory processes.
  • Investigate inventory discrepancies and implement corrective actions.

Preferred
