What you’ll do

As Inventory Control Manager, you will build and own Giga’s inventory control function from the ground up. This is a foundational role responsible for establishing the systems, processes, and physical controls required to accurately track critical electrical components—ranging from spare parts to breakers and switchboard inventory—supporting large-scale data center and infrastructure projects.

You’ll operate in the “grey space” early on: balancing hands-on execution (scanning, picking, pulling, and tracking inventory) with higher-level system design, ERP integration, and team build-out. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in early-stage environments, understands electrical supply chains, and is excited to create structure where little currently exists.

Where you’ll work

This role will be based in our Long Beach offices. You must be willing to work in the office full-time.

We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry.
