Qualifications
- Job tracking: track assigned jobs from order release through drafting, customer approval, release to production, and final documentation, using the department's tracking tools.
- Drafting coordination: monitor the drawing pipeline and coordinate with engineering and drafters on drawing status, due dates, and priorities; follow up to keep work progressing within lead-time commitments.
- Drawing release & approval: issue drawings to customers, track approval status against the required approval window, and proactively follow up so approvals stay on schedule.
- Change orders & revisions: evaluate incoming changes — distinguishing clarifications, technical information, and bill-of-material changes — route them appropriately to sales and/or drafting and track each revision through re-release and final approval (if required).
- Release to production: release approved jobs by updating the tracking systems, notifying production scheduling, and saving approved files to the server as documented proof of approval.
- Records & version control: maintain accurate, up-to-date records and clear version control of drawings, approvals, spec sheets, manuals, and the product/breaker documentation suite.
- Final documentation: prepare and issue final documentation packages (manuals, latest drawing sets, and documentation-suite links) upon shipment.
- File management: keep job files and department repositories organized, accurate, and easy to retrieve.
- Cross-functional communication: communicate proactively across sales, engineering, and production; read and interpret order and email threads to understand each job's context and history.
- Risk awareness: identify and flag at-risk jobs (approaching or past-due approval dates) and support on-time delivery.
- Process improvement: contribute to improving documentation processes, tools, and tracking as the department evolves.
- Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, with a strong commitment to maintaining verifiable, well-documented records.
- Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to track many concurrent jobs without losing accuracy.
- Clear written and verbal communication, and comfort coordinating across multiple departments.
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365 — Excel, SharePoint/OneDrive, and Outlook — and the ability to learn internal tools such as SharePoint Lists and automated workflows.
- Ability to read and interpret technical information, drawings, and bills of material (training provided).
- Strong problem-solving and follow-through, with a proactive approach to deadlines and bottlenecks.
- Ability to work independently and manage shifting priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
- Education: high school diploma or equivalent required; associate's degree or relevant coursework preferred.
- Experience: 1–3 years in documentation, order management, project coordination, administrative support, or a related role.
- Experience in a manufacturing, electrical, or engineering environment.
- Familiarity with electrical equipment such as switchboards, power centers, and circuit breakers — or a strong willingness to learn.
- Experience with SharePoint, Power Automate, or ERP systems.
- Experience with Procore, Trimble, or other construction management software.
