Inventory Manager

The Boring Company is looking for an Inventory Manager to own inventory end-to-end for the Dubai project starting hands-on as the founding member of the function and building out the team and warehouse operation as the project scales. Scope covers everything needed to tunnel: TBM spares and components, precast plant raw materials, construction consumables, and site equipment, including international logistics and UAE customs coordination. Stand up and run the inventory function for the Dubai project: warehouse layout, storage, slotting, labeling, and best-practice execution from day one. Oversee day-to-day receiving, storage, and issuance of equipment and materials across the TBM site, precast plant, and warehouse. Establish and audit critical spares kits for the TBM to protect tunneling uptime. Maintain accurate inventory records on demand; identify discrepancies, investigate root causes, and drive corrections and process improvements for high inventory accuracy. Perform cycle counts, variance reconciliation, and correction transactions. Proactively monitor stock levels and reorder points on critical and regular-use materials. Coordinate inbound international shipments, including UAE customs clearance, import documentation, and freight forwarders. Implement and administer inventory management systems and train the team on their use. Hire, train, and lead inventory and warehouse staff. Ensure compliance with UAE regulations and project safety standards. Requires 3+ years of inventory control, warehouse, or materials management experience in construction, heavy industry, manufacturing, or oil & gas. Hands-on knowledge of inventory systems like SAP or MOS/MES, and strong proficiency with scanners, data tools, and spreadsheets. Experience with UAE customs processes and import/export documentation strongly preferred.
