Inventory Manager
Dubai, UAE
OPERATIONS, Inventory
In office
Full-time
The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more, enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
We're 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 we need to tunnel: TBM spares and components, precast plant raw materials, construction consumables, and site equipment, including the international logistics and UAE customs coordination that gets it all here.
Responsibilities:
- 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, and alert the team before low counts impact operations
- Coordinate inbound international shipments, including UAE customs clearance, import documentation, and freight forwarders, for TBM components and project materials
- Work with purchasing and vendors on delivery scheduling, receiving inspection, and resolution of shortages or damaged goods
- Implement and administer inventory management systems and train the team on their use
- Hire, train, and lead inventory and warehouse staff as the function grows
- Ensure warehouse and material handling operations comply with UAE regulations and project safety standards
Qualifications:
- 3+ years of inventory control, warehouse, or materials management experience in construction, heavy industry, manufacturing, or oil & gas
- Hands-on knowledge of inventory systems (SAP, MOS/MES, or equivalent) and strong proficiency with scanners, data tools, and spreadsheets
- Proven experience with cycle counting, root-cause analysis of discrepancies, and inventory accuracy programs
- Comfortable in a hands-on, field-adjacent role — this is not a desk-only position
- Currently based in the UAE or GCC region, or eligible to work in the UAE
- Experience with UAE customs processes and import/export documentation strongly preferred
- Experience supporting tunneling, mining, or major Gulf infrastructure projects a plus
- Prior experience building or scaling an inventory/warehouse function a plus
Additional Requirements:
- The position may require extended hours and weekend work
- This role is on site / in person in Dubai, UAE
