  • Customer Service & Expediting: Monitor high-profile jobs, adjust schedules for unforecasted demand or customer changes, and provide status updates.
  • Inventory & Data Management: Monitor inventory levels and maintain data integrity within the MRP/ERP system.
  • Communication & Reporting: Act as the liaison between production, sales, procurement, and quality control, reporting daily on progress and issues.

  • Experience: Previous experience in manufacturing, specifically in CNC machining, gear cutting, or related metalworking industries.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in ERP/MRP systems and Microsoft Office products.
  • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to effectively communicate with shop floor personnel and management.
  • Problem-Solving: Ability to quickly re-schedule jobs in response to equipment failures or raw material shortages.
  • Education: High school diploma required; a bachelors degree in supply chain, logistics, or industrial engineering is often preferred.

Typical Work Environment

  • Office-based, but requires frequent presence on the production floor (shop floor) to monitor production progress.
