Qualifications

What We're Looking For

Required:

• High school diploma or GED.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing.
• Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.
• Ability to prioritize multiple tasks and follow through on commitments.
• Sound judgment, critical-thinking skills, and a willingness to take initiative.

Preferred:

• Associate degree or coursework in Business, Administration, Supply Chain, or a related technical discipline.
• Experience in administration, customer service, purchasing, project support, or a manufacturing/industrial environment.
• Exposure to contracts, procurement, project coordination, budgeting, or quality documentation.

Contract management experience is not required. What matters most is your ability to learn, stay organized, ask good questions, and keep things moving.

Why This Role Matters

Industrial projects involve a lot of moving pieces-customers, suppliers, materials, schedules, costs, quality requirements, and documentation. You'll play an important role in keeping those pieces connected and helping the project team deliver on its commitments.

You’ll also have the opportunity to develop practical knowledge in contract administration, project coordination, procurement, quality, budgeting, and TAB operations while working alongside experienced professionals.

• Gets things organized and notices when something doesn't look right.
• Follows through instead of letting action items disappear.
• Communicates well with people across different teams and levels of the organization.
• Asks questions and isn't afraid to dig for answers.
• Can juggle priorities while maintaining accuracy.
• Takes ownership and looks for practical ways to improve how work gets done.
• Wants to learn and grow their career in a technical, project-driven environment.

Work Environment

This position is primarily based in an office environment with exposure to a manufacturing environment. The role may involve exposure to loud noise, moving mechanical parts, and fumes or airborne particles. Appropriate personal protective equipment may be required when working in applicable areas.

The position may occasionally require lifting up to 25 pounds, using stairs, bending and reaching, and communicating effectively by phone, in person, and in writing.

The minimum and maximum hourly range for this full-time position is $24 - $27 + benefits.

Our salary ranges are determined by role, level and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including but not limited tojob-related skills, experience, and relevant education and/or training.
