Production Coordinator

What This Role Is
This is not a desk job.

It is not a traditional management role.

It is the role that ensures that Work Actually Moves.

You will own the flow of production inside our shop. What gets built, when it gets built, and whether it meets our standard before it leaves.

You will work directly with ownership and play a central role in turning plans into execution.

What This Role Isn't
It's not a Project Manager. You won't have client management responsibilities or budgetary management responsibilities.

It's not a pure Administration role. You won't just do data entry.

It's not a traditional shop manager. You won't have HR responsibilities, won't hire or fire, won't do performance reviews.

You will be responsible for work getting done and getting done right.

What You'll Own

• Production Readiness. You'll ensure no job hits the shop until it's fully ready for execution. You'll confirm drawings, materials, and routing is complete. You'll eliminate the 'figure it out in the shop' activities.
• Work Order Integrity. You'll ensure work orders are complete, accurate, and usable. You'll ensure the shop never guesses.
• Production Flow. You'll ensure the shop always knows (a) what to work on, (b) when it needs to be done, and (c) what's up next. You'll ensure work moves continuously without any confusion or downtime.
• Schedule Execution. You'll support and execute the weekly production plan, identifying immediately when work is slipping so it can be daylighted and solved early.
• Constraint and Blocker Visibility. You'll identify issues before they can affect shop output, including missing materials, incomplete drawings, and capacity conflicts.
• Quality Control. You'll inspect work before it is approved for delivery, ensuring it meets drawings, specs, and finish standards - and you'll reject anything that doesn't meet our values or our expectations.
• Material Inventory and Movement. You'll prepare the next day's work, including material staging, work order readiness, prioritization, and inventory accuracy, ensuring smooth transitions between jobs.
• Information Integrity. You'll maintain accurate, real-time status in our system of record (Monday.com), ensuring the system reflects reality, not intent.

What You'll Do Day-to-Day

• Run a short daily shop huddle to align work
• Track progress against the plan throughout the day
• Coordinate with engineering and purchasing to resolve any gaps
• Update and maintain production status in Monday
• Inspect completed work before releasing it for delivery
• Receive inbound material and keep warehouse accountability
• Prepare the next day's work every day before leaving

What We're Looking For

• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Able to learn quickly and take ownership of coordinating multiple moving pieces
• Willing to speak up and push back when something isn't right
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, real-world environment
• Ownership and accountability mindset across all functions
• Strong communicator with both shop and office teams

Preferred Backgrounds

• Manufacturing or production coordination
• Construction coordination
• Operations or Logistics roles
• Military Logistics or similar environments

What You'll Get

• Direct access to ownership and company decision-making
• A high-impact role in a rapidly growing company
• Clear path to increased responsibility and compensation based on performance
• The opportunity to build a disciplined, high-performing operation

Who This Is For

• Someone who wants to be in the middle of the action, not on the sidelines
• Someone who gets satisfaction from making things run smoothly
• Someone who takes ownership and follows through
• Someone who's excited to grow into larger operations responsibility as we scale

Who This Isn't For

• Someone looking for a purely administrative role
• Someone uncomfortable holding others accountable to standards, or who solves problems through 'escalation'
• Someone who needs constant direction to operate
• Someone interested in titles over responsibilities
