Job Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented and dependable Inventory Control & Production Parts Coordinator to manage inventory, pull and stage parts for welders, and ensure production travelers are accurately completed. This position plays a critical role in supporting production by verifying materials, calculating assembly dimensions, and ensuring all components meet customer specifications before and during the manufacturing process.

The ideal candidate must have strong attention to detail, basic math skills, and the ability to read and follow production travelers, assembly drawings, and work instructions. Accuracy is essential, particularly when calculating the overall finished length of corrugated metal hose and braid assemblies while accounting for fitting dimensions to meet customer-required overall lengths.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory Control

o    Maintain accurate inventory records for raw materials, fittings, corrugated metal hose, braid, and other production components.

o    Receive, identify, count, label, and properly store incoming materials.

o    Perform cycle counts and assist with physical inventory audits.

o    Monitor inventory levels and notify management when materials need replenishment.

o    Ensure materials are organized, properly identified, and readily available for production.

Production Parts Picking and Traveler Preparation

o    Pull, verify, and stage the correct parts and materials required for welders' production travelers.

o    Review travelers and work orders to confirm part numbers, quantities, material types, fitting sizes, and assembly requirements.

o    Ensure all required components are available before releasing jobs to the welding department.

o    Accurately document material quantities issued to each job and maintain traceability as required.

o    Identify missing, incorrect, or questionable parts and resolve discrepancies before production begins.

o    Communicate with welders, supervisors, and other departments to prevent production delays.

Assembly Length Calculations and Quality Verification

o    Perform basic mathematical calculations to determine the required cut and assembly lengths for corrugated metal hose and braided hose assemblies.

o    Calculate the required hose and braid length by accounting for the overall customer-specified assembly length and subtracting the applicable fitting dimensions or allowances.

o    Verify that the calculated dimensions will achieve the required finished overall length after fittings are installed and welded.

o    Accurately record the required dimensions and calculations on production travelers for welders to follow.

o    Double-check measurements, calculations, and traveler information before releasing jobs to production.

o    Read and interpret work orders, customer specifications, assembly drawings, and dimensional requirements.

o    Bring unclear specifications, calculation discrepancies, or potential quality issues to the attention of the appropriate supervisor before work proceeds.

General Responsibilities

o    Maintain an organized and safe work area.

o    Follow established inventory control, material handling, and quality procedures.

o    Support production scheduling by ensuring materials are available when needed.

o    Work closely with warehouse, welding, quality, and production personnel.

o    Perform other related duties as assigned.

Qualifications and Requirements

o    High school diploma or equivalent preferred.

o    Must be able to read a tape measurer

o    Previous inventory control, warehouse, manufacturing, or parts-picking experience preferred.

o    Must have basic math skills, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and measurement calculations.

o    Ability to calculate component lengths and determine the required hose and braid length needed to achieve a specified finished assembly length.

o    Strong attention to detail and accuracy when recording measurements and completing travelers.

o    Ability to read and follow written instructions, work orders, and production documentation.

o    Basic computer skills and ability to enter and maintain inventory information.

o    Good organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.

o    Ability to work independently and manage multiple production orders.

o    Manufacturing, metal hose, welding, or industrial fitting experience is a plus.

Essential Skills for Success

The successful candidate must be able to:

o    Correctly pull parts and materials according to production travelers.

o    Perform accurate dimensional calculations using customer-required overall assembly lengths and applicable fitting dimensions.

o    Recognize the importance of measurement accuracy and material identification.

o    Maintain accurate inventory and production records.

o    Understand that incorrect parts or length calculations can result in rework, scrap, and missed customer requirements.

o    Communicate effectively with welders and production supervisors when information needs clarification.

Work Environment and Physical Requirements

This position is performed in a manufacturing and warehouse environment. The employee may be required to stand, walk, bend, reach, lift, and move materials throughout the workday. The ability to safely handle production components and follow all applicable workplace safety procedures is required.

What We Offer

o    Competitive pay based on experience.
