Job Description

Keep priority jobs moving in a hands-on manufacturing environment where you’ll work directly with production leaders to solve delays and keep schedules on track.

SALARY: $28.00–$30.00/hr. (D.O.E.)

LOCATION: Tigard, OR

SCHEDULE: Full-Time, Onsite | Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE:

• Visible Impact: Help keep critical production jobs moving and resolve issues before they affect customers.
• Hands-On Work: Stay connected to the manufacturing floor rather than spending the entire day behind a desk.
• Cross-Functional Exposure: Work closely with production, planning, project management, and sales.
• Varied Workday: Track changing priorities, address constraints, and help realign jobs that fall behind schedule.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Monitor materials and work orders as they move through the manufacturing process.
• Track expedited and high-priority jobs to ensure they remain on schedule.
• Partner with production managers to identify delays, material constraints, and workflow issues.
• Evaluate expedite requests and communicate how changes could affect existing production schedules.
• Coordinate between production, planning, project management, and sales to provide clear job-status updates.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Minimum of two years of experience in manufacturing, machining, fabrication, or industrial assembly.
• Experience tracking production jobs, materials, work orders, or manufacturing schedules.
• Experience working with metal or plastic manufacturing processes.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Excel and Outlook.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles in a low-volume manufacturing environment.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: This position works in both a professional office setting and an active manufacturing environment with machinery noise and plastic chips. Safety glasses and hearing protection may be required in designated areas. Position requires the ability to lift and carry up to 35 pounds.
