Material Control Clerk Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a material control clerk in Pennsylvania?
Most material control clerk positions in Pennsylvania require a high school diploma or GED, though employers in defense and healthcare often prefer candidates with an associate degree in supply chain, logistics, or business. Pennsylvania does not issue a state license for this role, but employers in regulated industries such as aerospace and medical manufacturing frequently require in-house credentialing in ERP systems and OSHA-compliant materials handling before someone works independently.
Which companies hire material control clerks in Pennsylvania?
Companies currently hiring material control clerks in Pennsylvania include Metals USA, Ryder System, and Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of defense contractors, hospital systems, and industrial manufacturers means steady, recurring demand for this role across both urban centers and mid-sized industrial corridors like the Lehigh Valley.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most material control clerk jobs?
Allentown, Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania account for the largest share of material control clerk openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia draws volume from its hospital networks and pharmaceutical distribution operations, Pittsburgh from its manufacturing and technology sector, and the Allentown-Bethlehem area from its dense base of logistics, defense, and industrial employers that have anchored the Lehigh Valley for decades.
Are there remote material control clerk jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Material control work is fundamentally hands-on, involving physical receipt, counting, and movement of parts and supplies, so most roles require on-site presence. About 4% of material control clerk openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, and those positions typically involve the administrative side of inventory management, such as purchase order coordination or system-based reconciliation rather than floor-level materials handling.
How can I get hired as a material control clerk in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a stockroom associate or shipping and receiving position at a larger Pennsylvania employer, which builds the hands-on inventory experience hiring managers look for. Defense contractors and hospital systems in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas frequently bring in candidates from adjacent roles like warehouse associate or data entry clerk. Completing a forklift certification through a Pennsylvania community college or vocational program and gaining basic familiarity with SAP or similar software gives entry-level candidates a concrete edge in competitive listings.
Where can I find and apply to material control clerk jobs in Pennsylvania?
