Job summary

Hours are 1:30 PM–11:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. Responsibilities include staging, prioritizing, and communicating shifts in work so teams stay on pace, and escalating issues to leaders as needed.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in a manufacturing production, materials, or shop-floor coordination role.
• Working knowledge of production scheduling and tracking work-in-process through a cell.
• Comfortable using the production information system and spreadsheets to track jobs, parts, and rates.

• Strong written and verbal communication for coordinating across the floor, support teams, and leadership.
• Basic math for capacity, rate, and pacing calculations.
• Able to flex hours when the schedule demands it.

Responsibilities

• Own the cell's process boards: keep work-order sequencing, staging, and visual signals current every shift.
• Review past-due, hot, and high-priority jobs; stage one-piece-flow work so the cell stays paced to its target rate.
• Spot bottlenecks - machine, material, staffing, or tooling - and work countermeasures with the team lead, maintenance, materials, and planning.
• Locate missing parts, kits, and tooling; elevate within the posted time limit if it is not resolved at the cell.
• Act as the first line of response on product and people concerns; route safety, quality, and personnel issues to the team lead or supervisor.
• Step onto the line as needed so leads, trainers, and operators can attend training, audits, or improvement work.
• Coordinate hot jobs and shifting priorities with upstream and downstream cells when an issue affects customer commitments.
• Give real-time updates on schedule changes, equipment downtime, and material shortages to the partners who need to know.
