Production Support Coordinator 1st Shift

Position Summary

At Accurate Fabrication, we believe great manufacturing starts with great organization. We are looking for a highly motivated, detail-oriented Production Support Coordinator who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys solving problems before they become production issues.

This role is the communication hub of our manufacturing operation. You will coordinate production documentation, monitor schedules, communicate priorities, track work orders, and ensure our production teams have everything they need to build products safely, efficiently, and on time.

This is not a position for someone who waits to be told what to do. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, stays organized under pressure, identifies problems early, and consistently looks for ways to improve processes.

If you enjoy being the person everyone relies on to keep production running smoothly, we'd love to meet you.

• Track work orders through each stage of production and identify potential delays before they impact customer deliveries.
• Maintain accurate production status within JobBOSS² ERP, ensuring timely and accurate transaction processing.
• Verify production documentation is complete, accurate, and available before jobs are released to manufacturing.
• Assist with production scheduling activities and ensure work is flowing efficiently between departments.

Cross-Functional Communication

• Coordinate with Purchasing to ensure materials are available before production begins.
• Work with Engineering to obtain updated drawings, specifications, and manufacturing documentation.
• Communicate production status, schedule changes, shortages, and potential risks promptly to appropriate departments.
• Support Customer Service by providing timely production updates for customer inquiries and delivery commitments.

• Support inventory accuracy by verifying production transactions and reporting discrepancies.
• Prepare reports for daily production meetings and document follow-up actions.

• Assist leadership with production reporting, KPI tracking, and operational metrics.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve communication, organization, workflow, and manufacturing efficiency.
• Recommend process improvements that reduce waste and improve productivity.

• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives across the manufacturing operation.
