Roylco is looking for an experienced Manufacturing ERP Implementation Specialist to lead and support the implementation, configuration, and ongoing development of our Odoo ERP system.

We are a manufacturing company with diverse production capabilities, including die cutting, metal stamping, prototyping, vacuum forming, CNC machining, printing, and assembly. We are looking for someone who understands how manufacturing businesses operate and can translate real-world production requirements into an effective, integrated ERP system.

This is not simply an IT support or ERP administration position. We want someone who can understand our manufacturing processes, identify opportunities for improvement, design efficient workflows, and configure Odoo to support the entire business, from customer inquiries and quoting through production, shipping, and invoicing.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience implementing Odoo in a manufacturing environment and a robust understanding of industrial production processes. Experience in die cutting, metal stamping, or similar manufacturing operations would be a significant advantage.
