Additionally, you are in charge of managing the warehouse layout and storage requirements, optimizing our limited space with efficient racking solutions and stacking of crates.

You will take on the crucial responsibility of managing job timelines and deadlines. This means identifying potential challenges in upcoming production tasks, ensuring we have the right materials on hand, and setting realistic goals for your team. You will also maintain clear communication with all relevant stakeholders, both upstream and downstream, regarding our department's workload and any necessary changes. To facilitate this, you will manage, maintain, and update an internal workload schedule that can be easily shared with other members of our production team.

Furthermore, you will serve as an expert in warehousing, offering suggestions and expertise to ensure we meet our client's expectations.

Your role also encompasses various other responsibilities, such as tracking departmental time and managing PTO requests, organizing and maintaining files, providing training, continually seeking opportunities for skill improvement, and handling any additional tasks assigned by Fabrication Leadership.

Thoroughness: Fabrication

Ensure your work (and if applicable, the work of others) is complete and accurate. You can spot when details were overlooked, and take the initiative to complete the project, following up to ensure agreements / commitments are on track or have been fulfilled. When details are ambiguous, you ask questions to confirm you understand the expectations. Team members can easily follow your work, understand where you left off, and what comes next. You are prepared and organized for meetings and presentations.

Urgency

Decisive, responsive, and fast acting you achieve goals quickly both when working on your own and in collaboration with others. You demonstrate adaptability and agility when making on-the-spot decisions never sacrificing quality or work interactions. Cool under pressure. For the sake of time, you are able to eliminate unnecessary steps and use network resources to aid in project completion.
