Inventory Management Supervisor

Position: Inventory Management Supervisor

Department: Supply Chain

Location: Baltimore, MD

Reports To: Director of Supply Chain

Company Overview

Blueprint Robotics aims to disrupt the US multi-family construction industry by bringing proven off-site automation technology and practices from around the world to the US. In the US, the construction industry, unlike the automotive industry, has delivered limited productivity gains remaining largely unchanged for the past 100 years with little to no automation added. However, in Germany, the rest of Europe, and parts of Asia, wood-framed construction has advanced to sophisticated off-site construction methods unseen in the US, until now.

Blueprint Robotics recognizes that the established off-site method of building wood-framed structures is simply a better way to build. Benefits include:

• A much higher degree of cost certainty
• Significant reduction in material waste
• Higher quality execution of architectural plans and energy efficiency
• Reduces exposure to labor shortages
• Diminishes time and cost variability stemming from the complexity of scheduling various disjointed subcontractors, weather, etc.
• Reduces overall project timeline, a significant benefit to builders
• True design flexibility, a severe limitation of traditional US modular builders

In the future, the company plans to begin adding additional manufacturing facilities. While the first facility will generate $100Mn of annual revenue the first facility will barely scratch the surface of the potential opportunity. The company believes there is significant room to grow, and in the process, to build a billion-dollar business, with the ultimate vision to have dozens of facilities strategically located throughout the US.
