Role Summary
Looking for an analytical, detail-oriented Inventory & Asset Valuation Specialist to manage day-to-day material tracking, perform meticulous data entry, and conduct property and asset valuations.

- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, pivot tables, basic financial formulas) and familiarity with inventory/ERP software.
- Solid understanding of basic valuation principles (depreciation, replacement cost, or fair market value estimation).
- High numerical accuracy, sharp analytical reasoning, and rigorous attention to detail.
- Ability to balance desk-based data modeling and reporting with on-site counts and material inspections.
Nice to Have

- Familiarity with government/regulated environments (e.g., FAR, including FAR 52.244-1)
