Job Overview:
Own the Flow. Drive the Operation. Lead What Moves the Business. At the Ingersoll Rand West Chester site, you’ll step into a mission-critical hub where uptime, precision, and real-world impact collide. As Manager, Materials, you own the flow of materials, teams, and execution across a high-velocity manufacturing operation. You’ll lead an integrated network of material planning, buyer/planners, and production scheduling, ensuring seamless alignment from demand through delivery in a fast-paced, just-in-time, make-to-order environment.
This role carries full accountability for materials planning, inventory strategy, and supply execution, making you a key driver of plant performance, scalability, and continuous improvement. You will also own warehouse operations and inventory control end-to-end, ensuring accuracy, discipline, and integrity across physical inventory and cycle count processes. In addition, you will lead shipping and receiving operations through a supervisor and broader team responsible for inbound, outbound, and traffic execution—ensuring materials move with speed and precision across the site.
Deeply embedded in Lean and continuous improvement, this role drives impact across key KPIs including inventory turns, on-time shipping to request date, and days past due, while strengthening overall supply chain performance. You will ensure uninterrupted material availability to support production, proactively closing gaps, removing constraints, and elevating execution across the operation. What sets this role apart is the expectation for hands-on leadership when it matters most—month-end close, peak shipping or receiving volumes, and urgent customer demands. This is not a distance-based leadership role; it is real-time ownership of execution.
If you’re looking to lead broadly, execute deeply, and directly impact plant performance in motion—this is it.
Responsibilities:
- Safety: Fosters a safety culture and implements safety policies and training in compliance with the company safety program and OSHA regulations to eliminate work-related injuries.
- Inventory Control: Plans, orders, executes and manages storage of critical raw materials in accordance with supplier selections and guidelines provided by Sourcing Operations using SAP/MRP system to achieve the Master Schedule and Service requirements. Oversees Lean raw material replenishment and storage on the production floor, including initial set up, daily usage estimates, trigger points, and reorder quantities. Coordinates with other facilities to forecast any remanufactured product requirements.
- Strategy: Deploys strategic objectives into annual goals and individual KPIs across the organization by working with teams to set appropriate targets to build daily and monthly routines to manage the business.
- Product Lifecycle: Plans for material life cycle management and eliminates obsolete inventory items while working to reduce waste through the value chain. Develops and monitors compliance with requirements related to the introduction of new products.
- Management: Develops employees through recruitment, training, coaching and establishing goals and objectives.
- Problem solving culture: Develops a culture that is tied to Daily Management by leveraging tools, consulting skills and change management processes.
- Other responsibilities as assigned or required.
Requirements

- 3+ years of experience driving cross-functional alignment across operations, supply chain, and production planning teams to execute on business objectives
Core Competencies:
- Integrated Materials & Inventory Leadership: Leads end-to-end materials management across planning, procurement, and inventory in a Lean, MRP environment—ensuring material availability while optimizing flow, replenishment (Kanban), and inventory levels.
- Operational Execution & Continuous Improvement: Drives disciplined execution in a high-velocity, JIT environment. Identifies gaps, implements Lean improvements, and delivers on KPIs—inventory turns, on-time delivery, and past due reduction.
- Strategic Planning & Lifecycle Management: Translates business objectives into clear plans and KPIs. Oversees material lifecycle, including new product introduction and obsolescence reduction, to minimize waste and complexity.
- People Leadership, Culture & Problem Solving: Builds and develops teams through coaching and accountability. Fosters a safety-first, problem-solving culture using data, daily management, and effective change leadership.

Search Manufacturing Jobs in DelawareManufacturing H-1B Sponsorship Jobs in Delaware: Frequently Asked Questions
Which manufacturing companies sponsor H-1B visas in Delaware?
Delaware's manufacturing H-1B sponsors are concentrated in chemicals and specialty materials. DuPont and its spinoffs, including Corteva Agriscience and DuPont de Nemours, have historically filed significant H-1B petitions for research and process engineering roles. W.L. Gore & Associates, headquartered in Newark, sponsors H-1B workers in materials science and engineering. Smaller contract manufacturers and pharmaceutical producers in the Wilmington area also appear in Department of Labor LCA disclosure data as recurring sponsors.
Which cities in Delaware have the most manufacturing H-1B sponsorship jobs?
Wilmington and Newark account for the majority of manufacturing H-1B activity in Delaware. Wilmington serves as the corporate hub for chemical and specialty materials companies, while Newark benefits from proximity to the University of Delaware and hosts manufacturing operations tied to materials research. The I-95 corridor connecting these cities to Philadelphia also means some Delaware-based roles are part of broader regional hiring clusters that extend into Chester County, Pennsylvania.
What types of manufacturing roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship in Delaware?
Roles that typically qualify are those requiring at minimum a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field as a standard requirement for the position. In Delaware's manufacturing sector, this includes chemical engineers, process engineers, materials scientists, analytical chemists, quality assurance engineers, and environmental health and safety specialists. General production supervisor or technician roles, where no specific degree field is required, generally do not meet the H-1B specialty occupation standard.
How do I find manufacturing H-1B sponsorship jobs in Delaware?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship type and industry, making it straightforward to search for manufacturing H-1B roles in Delaware without sifting through positions that don't offer sponsorship. Because Delaware's manufacturing base is concentrated among a relatively small number of large employers, searching by company name alongside the H-1B filter on Migrate Mate can help you identify which organizations are actively hiring internationally for technical manufacturing positions.
Are there any state-specific considerations for H-1B workers in Delaware's manufacturing industry?
Delaware has no state-level work visa program, so the federal H-1B process applies in full. One practical consideration is Delaware's physical size: most manufacturing employers are clustered within a 30-mile radius, which makes commuting across the state common. Delaware also has no state income tax on out-of-state income earned elsewhere, which can affect tax planning for H-1B workers who previously worked in neighboring states like Pennsylvania or New Jersey before transferring to a Delaware employer.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B manufacturing jobs in Delaware?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
