Day to day, you’ll plan and schedule material and capacity needs, make sure parts and documents are ready when the team needs them, and keep work orders moving to hit our delivery commitments. You’ll follow established routines but also have the flexibility to reshuffle and resequence tasks as things change—solving problems in real time to prevent shortages, protect quality, and keep everything on track. Your attention to detail will lift the quality of your own work and empower the team around you.
If you enjoy coordinating across teams, using ERP/MRP tools, and staying one step ahead to keep production flowing, we’d love to hear from you.Job Description
