U‑Haul Co. of Iowa, Inc. is hiring a Program Manager to own and expand our Reuse & Salvage Parts Optimization program. You will ensure valuable, hard‑to‑source components from salvaged trucks are systematically identified, recovered, tested, and redistributed back into the fleet, driving cost reduction, improving repair efficiency, and minimizing waste.
What You'll Do
- Identify high‑value, hard‑to‑find, or long‑lead‑time components across TT, DC, JH, TM, BE, and other fleet models.
- Analyze repair trends, parts shortages, and cost data to determine which components should be harvested from salvaged trucks.
- Evaluate feasibility and ROI for adding new components to the reuse program.
- Work with Engineering to create and maintain reuse part numbers, ensuring proper documentation and traceability.
- Establish testing, cleaning, and packaging standards for each reclaimed part type.
- Partner with Purchasing to regulate inventory levels and ensure proper stocking at Regional Distribution Centers (RDCs).
- Collaborate with the Salvage Department to include targeted components on salvage authorizations and ensure consistent harvesting.
- Communicate part requirements, stock limits, and testing protocols to the reuse facility.
- Monitor reuse part listings in the electronic parts catalog to ensure availability, accuracy, and visibility to field locations.
- Track supply flow and address bottlenecks or shortages proactively.
- Oversee quality assurance for all reclaimed parts installed back into the fleet.
- Adjust testing procedures, cleaning methods, and packaging standards based on field performance and feedback.
- Retire reuse part numbers and deplete stock when components are no longer needed for fleet repairs.
- Research and evaluate opportunities to sell surplus or retired reuse parts into the aftermarket.
- Develop resale channels, pricing strategies, and partnerships to maximize value recovery.
- Ensure compliance with safety, legal, and environmental requirements for aftermarket sales.
What We're Looking For
- Experience in fleet maintenance, automotive/truck parts management, supply chain, or salvage operations.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to evaluate cost savings, part performance, and inventory needs.
- Excellent cross‑functional communication and project management abilities.
- Familiarity with parts catalogs, engineering documentation, and quality control processes.
- Ability to work independently and drive initiatives from concept to execution.
