Job Description

Production Material Flow Coordinator

Full-Time | Manufacturing & Warehouse Operations

A Day in This Role

Your shift starts with a quick, documented inspection of your forklift. You scan the first work orders of the day, stage the right pallets, and roll materials to the production cells that need them most—right on time. Throughout the day, you verify quantities against pick lists and job travelers, organize inventory locations, and keep aisles clear and labeled so teams can move fast and safely.

Trucks arrive and you’re ready: unload, match packing slips to purchase orders, report any damage or shortages, and get goods labeled and stored. If another building calls for help, you transfer materials across facilities to keep production flowing. You close out the day by updating counts, supporting cycle checks, and coordinating with management to resolve any discrepancies so tomorrow starts smooth.
