Job description

What we do...

HindlePower has been designing and manufacturing industrial battery chargers and DC power systems for the utility industry for over 35 years. Our products serve power generation and distribution, substations, switchgear OEMs, oil and gas, and transportation maintenance facilities. We are the leader in our industry, with customers in all 50 states and around the world.

What you'll do...

As a Materials Coordinator, you'll make sure the right material is in the right place at the right time. It's a role that lives in two worlds: the system side, where you're managing purchase orders and inventory transactions, and the floor side, where you're receiving, staging, and getting parts to the people building product. If you like a job where you're not stuck at a desk all day, this is that job.

• Receive incoming materials, parts, and equipment. Verify quantities and check for accuracy and quality.
• Prepare purchase orders, get quotes, and follow up with suppliers on order status and delivery dates
• Record receipts and inventory transactions in our ERP system, Made2Manage (M2M)
• Work with our production teams to stage material and keep the build schedule moving
• Keep storage areas organized and material handling safe
• Watch inventory levels and flag shortages or discrepancies before they become a problem
• Run cycle counts and other inventory control activities that keep our numbers honest
• Keep other departments in the loop on material availability, delivery updates, and changes
• Maintain supplier documentation and records for compliance and audits

What you bring...

Experience

• Background in shipping, warehouse operations, materials coordination, or logistics in a manufacturing setting
• Experience using an ERP system for inventory and shipping transactions
• Exposure to inventory control practices like cycle counting and material staging

Skills

• Forklift experience. If you have the hours but not the certification, we can handle that.
• Strong attention to detail. Inventory accuracy is the whole job, and a bad transaction shows up three weeks later on the floor.
• Comfortable in a system, keeping data clean and accurate
• Problem solving and the judgment to know when something is off
• Basic understanding of freight billing and invoicing is a plus

Where this goes...

Supply chain is growing here, and this seat sits at the front of it. As the business scales, so do the roles above this one. We promote from within whenever we can, and the people who move up here are usually the ones who understood the material flow well enough to see problems coming before anyone else did.

A few things about us...

Our commitment to quality is evident in our highly skilled colleagues and our exceptional approach to customer service. We believe in rewarding hard work and offering competitive compensation, comprehensive health, vision, and dental benefits, along with a 401k plan that includes employer matching and a gain-sharing program.
