Crude Clay Manufacturing Coordinator

Are you ready to lead by doing?

Picture this: You arrive on shift, review the production plan with the Crude Clay Supervisor, and immediately roll up your sleeves. You align your crew’s tasks, double-check inventory with quick cycle counts, and make sure every Nav transaction is in the system so materials flow without a hitch. When a piece of equipment needs attention, you coordinate maintenance, keep the team moving with hand tools and vehicles, and ensure shipments are packaged exactly to procedure. You’re the on-the-floor coordinator who trains others, documents the process, and keeps leadership informed—an entry-level leader building a strong foundation for a manufacturing career.
