• Review customer purchase orders, drawings, specifications, and other technical documentation.
  
  
• Help convert customer requirements into accurate internal sales and production orders.
  
  
• Assist with estimating and quoting by reviewing part complexity, materials, and anticipated shop time.
  
  
• Communicate with customers when clarification is needed regarding dimensions, tolerances, materials, or design specifications.
  
  
• Source raw materials, hardware, and specialized tooling required for production.
  
  
• Request vendor pricing, compare material costs, issue purchase orders, and track incoming materials.
  
  
• Work closely with operations to ensure jobs have the correct drawings, materials, and information before reaching production.
  
  
• Maintain organized drawing files, job documentation, and revision histories.
  
  
• Provide additional technical and administrative support to keep projects moving efficiently between the office and shop floor.

What We're Looking For

• Strong proficiency with SolidWorks is required.
  
  
• Familiarity with Fusion 360 is strongly preferred.
  
  
• Hands-on experience using precision measuring tools and translating measurements into technical drawings.
  
  
• Previous experience in a CNC machining, machine shop, sheet metal, fabrication, or similar manufacturing environment is highly desirable.
  
  
• Understanding of manufacturing drawings, tolerances, materials, and production processes.
  
  
• Experience with estimating, quoting, purchasing, or material procurement is a plus.
  
  
• Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills.
  
  
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate technical documentation.
  
  
• Comfortable communicating with customers, vendors, production employees, and office staff.
  
  
• Organized and able to manage multiple active jobs and priorities.
