This role is critical to achieving high quality, efficient, and traceable fabrication aligned with quality manufacturing and customer requirements.

Job Responsibilities/Duties

• Develop material packages based on engineered drawings, bill of materials (BOM's), work plans, interpret material takeoffs (MTO's) and BOM's to ensure all required materials are ordered, tracked, and available.
• Track material rec't for planned work.
• Identify any material that is not available (not procured or rec'd yet). Ideally work to a 90 day look ahead.
• Organize material logically based on drawing in coordination with sequencing as defined in the work plans and fabrication schedule.
• Stage material to support upcoming fabrication sequences. Ensure fabrication staff has ready access to required materials as needed.
• Pre-stage material based on fabrication look ahead.
• Assist fabrication staff real-time for moving larger materials that are not practical to be staged from their storage location to the fabrication location.
• Maintain traceability for all materials, ensuring alignment with quality documentation. Coordinate with receipt and inspection, tag and stage materials per build phase and fabrication priority.
• Serve as the central point of material coordination among fabrication, project management, procurement and quality assurance.

• Ability to read and interpret fabrication drawings, BOMs, and work plans is preferred.
• Familiarity with ISO-9001, NQA-1, ASME, and traceability requirements for nuclear or critical-service equipment is preferred but not required.

Key Skills

• Proficient in Microsoft Office is required.
• Capable of coordinating all material needs for complex fabrication builds with multiple dependencies.
• Detail-oriented, high organized, and effective cross-department communicator
• Able to operate in fast-paced, high-accountability environments with minimal oversight
