Description

  1. Explain what the scope of the work/project is? Project Overview, deliverables (what is this person responsible for).
    1. One of the teams that I manage is the Material Master Data Governance team. Material Master is basically a catalog of all our material IDs. What we need is someone to help create material IDs that can be used on purchase orders so materials can be tracked through the entire process. This person will support the Energy Supply group by gathering technical specifications, researching manufacturer part numbers, completing the required forms, and submitting them to the Material Master team for review and entry into SAP. They may work on large projects involving hundreds of new material IDs for power plants, wind farms, and solar farms.
    3. What does a typical day look like?
      1. They are going to get a lot of emails requesting material IDs. They will gather information from requestors, research manufacturer part numbers and specifications online, contact vendors or manufacturers, when necessary, complete the required documentation, submit forms to the Material Master team, and follow up on approvals. Much of the day will involve researching technical details, validating information from multiple sources, and creating documentation.
  3. What is the size of the group this position will be supporting? Who are some of the key players this person will be working with?
    1. They will work closely with Ernest Zonneveld, Sharon Niedzielski, logistics managers within the operating companies (such as Dornan in Minnesota), engineers, storekeepers, warehouse personnel, vendors, manufacturers, and the Material Master Data Governance team.

    1. The position is highly trainable. A couple of years of relevant experience would be helpful, but the hiring manager is more focused on mindset, research ability, attention to detail, and willingness to dig for accurate information.
