Crib Attendant

Airspeed LLC is seeking a Crib Attendant for our manufacturing facility in Mebane, North Carolina. This is a replacement role that supports production by keeping tools, mold components, consumables, materials, and related records organized, accurate, and ready when needed.

This is a good fit for someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable being the person others rely on to keep production moving. The right person may come from a tool crib, warehouse, inventory, machine shop, maintenance crib, manufacturing, or cable assembly background. What matters most is accuracy, follow-through, documentation discipline, and the ability to use systems correctly.

The Tool Crib Attendant will report to the Plant Buyer and will primarily support tooling crib and inventory activity. The role will also provide backup support for warehouse activities and will be scheduled periodically to support technical cable assembly work, such as crimp validation, testing, inspection, labeling, documentation, and related controlled production tasks.

Key responsibilities include:

• Kit, stage, issue, and receive tooling, mold components, spare parts, and production consumables.
• Verify tool and component condition when items are issued and returned.
• Complete required ERP, inventory, issue/return, receiving, and documentation transactions accurately.
• Maintain bin locations, reorder points, min/max levels, inventory records, labels, and traceability information.
• Support daily cycle counts and help prevent stockouts of critical tooling components and consumables.
• Build productionready tooling carts with required parts, setup information, fasteners, gaskets, and related materials.
• Confirm correct part numbers, mold numbers, revision levels, quantities, and documentation before releasing items for use.
• Track tool usage, replacement intervals, sharpening or repair needs, serial numbers, lot numbers, and related records.
• Maintain organized, labeled, clean, and productionready crib storage using strong 5S practices.
• Keep issue tickets, return logs, conformance tags, inventory records, and traceability documentation complete and accurate.
• Support receiving, shipping, picking, packing, labeling, staging, and material movement as backup.
• Operate forklifts, pallet jacks, and related materialhandling equipment as backup after training and authorization.
• Use tools and equipment such as barcode scanners, label printers, calipers, micrometers, hand tools, wire strippers, crimpers, test equipment, forklifts, and pallet jacks as assigned.
• Support selected cable assembly activities during scheduled periods, generally about two weeks per quarter or as business needs require.
• Follow approved work instructions, drawings, travelers, inspection requirements, and quality documentation for assigned cable assembly work.
• Verify materials, labels, connectors, terminals, part numbers, quantities, and revision levels before beginning assigned work.
• Identify and report damaged materials, missing components, tooling concerns, drawing issues, process problems, defects, or documentation discrepancies.
• Follow all safety rules, PPE requirements, quality requirements, and company policies.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

This role is for someone who takes ownership of organization, accuracy, and readiness. Production should not have to wait because a tool, component, label, record, or material cannot be found.
