Company Overview: Triton Metal Products, a distinguished leader in the metal fabrication industry, is renowned for crafting precision metal components and structures. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, we take pride in delivering custom-made solutions that consistently exceed our clients' expectations. As we continue to expand our operations, we are seeking a detail-driven, consistent, reliable, and quality-focused individual to join our team.

• Run/participate in customer reviews (weekly check-ins, monthly forecast calls, QBRs as appropriate).

Quoting, estimating coordination & follow-up

• Prepare quote information for estimating/engineering ; ensure assumptions and lead times are clear.
• Track quote pipeline; follow up systematically to drive closure and communicate status internally.

Sales Order Entry & Work Order Creation

• Initiate/coordinate Work Order creation and release process per scheduling rules.

Forecast management

• Collect and manage customer forecasts; reconcile changes (spikes/pulls/pushes/cancellations).

• Ensure revision control and alignment to approved drawings/specs and quote assumptions.

Internal production monitoring & on-time delivery

• Monitor WIP and open orders; confirm priorities are reflected in the production plan.
• Escalate risks early (material, capacity, quality holds, outside processing delays) and coordinate recovery plans.
• Provide realistic ship dates backed by internal verification.

Issue management (delivery, quality, service recovery)

• Quarterback containment and communication during issues; coordinate corrective actions with Quality/Engineering/Operations.
• Maintain an issues log and ensure commitments are met through closure.

Behavioral expectations (how success is achieved)

• Proactive: communicates risks before they become problems; confirms requirements in writing.
• Responsive: acknowledges customer requests within hours, not days; provides next-step commitments.
• Positive & solution-oriented: offers options, not excuses; maintains calm professionalism under pressure.
• Ownership mindset: drives cross-functional follow-through and closes the loop.

Response-time standards (internal)

• Customer emails/calls: acknowledge within 2 business hours (sooner when possible).
• Delivery/quality escalation: acknowledge within 60 minutes during business hours.
• Quotes/feasibility: respond within 1 business day with answer or committed due date.

Qualifications:

• Familiarity with APQP / new product launch concepts; PPAP exposure a plus.
• Strong written/verbal communication, organization, and cross-functional coordination skills.
• Comfortable interpreting prints/specs and translating requirements into ERP/order notes.
