Tool Crib Specialist

MasterSpas Jobs
Fort Wayne, IN Full Time
POSTED ON 9/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/11/2026
Keep the Tools Ready. Keep Production Moving.

When production is moving, nobody wants to hear: “We don’t have one.”

The missing tool. The empty supply bin. The piece of equipment that disappeared three shifts ago. The pneumatic tool that suddenly stopped working right when someone needs it. Those small problems can create very big headaches on a production floor.

As the Tool Crib Specialist at MasterSpas, you’ll be the person who helps prevent them. You’ll manage the tools, equipment, and supplies our production teams rely on every day—making sure they’re available, accounted for, organized, and ready to work when our employees need them.

If you’re mechanically inclined, ridiculously organized, and the kind of person who believes everything should have a place (and actually be in it), you might have just found your job.

What You’ll Do

Think of the Tool Crib as mission control for the tools and equipment that keep production running.

You’ll take ownership of it.

Know Where the Tools Are

Yes, all of them.

  • Manage the daily distribution and return of production tools and equipment.
  • Maintain and organize department tool carts.
  • Verify equipment makes its way back at the end of each shift.
  • Keep tools organized, available, and in good working condition.
  • Remove damaged or unsafe equipment from service.
  • Maintain accountability for company-owned tools and report concerns involving damage, misuse, loss, or theft.

Your goal is simple: when production needs a tool, they know exactly where to get it.

Stay Ahead Of What Production Needs

Running out of something after production needs it is too late. You’ll:

  • Monitor inventory levels for tools, equipment, materials, and supplies.
  • Identify replenishment needs before shortages affect production.
  • Prepare and submit orders to approved vendors.
  • Receive and organize incoming supplies.
  • Maintain accurate inventory records and documentation.
  • Use Excel, Outlook, Word, and other systems to keep everything organized and accounted for.

Fix What You Can

If your first instinct when something stops working is to figure out why, you’ll probably enjoy this part.

  • Troubleshoot pneumatic tools, electric tools, torque limiters, and other production equipment.
  • Perform minor repairs within the scope of the position.
  • Use schematics, drawings, manuals, and technical documentation to diagnose problems.
  • Identify equipment that needs additional maintenance and get it to the right people.
  • Help extend the life of company equipment by making sure tools are maintained, stored, and handled correctly.

Protect the Tool Crib

This isn’t an open supply closet.

You’ll be responsible for maintaining control and accountability over company equipment.

  • Control access to secured Tool Crib areas.
  • Issue tools and supplies only to authorized employees.
  • Investigate differences between physical inventory and inventory records.
  • Encourage responsible tool use throughout production.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, standardized environment using Lean/5S principles.

Be the Person Production Can Count On

Production priorities change.

Something breaks.

A department suddenly needs equipment.

A tool goes missing.

You’ll work closely with Production, Maintenance, Purchasing, Warehouse, Production Leads, and Supervisors to figure out what’s needed and keep things moving.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is equal parts organized and mechanically curious.

Someone who notices when inventory is getting low.

Someone who doesn’t shrug when a tool disappears.

Someone who can look at a piece of equipment that isn’t working and think:

“Let me take a look.”

You’ll Likely Be Successful If You

  • Have experience in a tool crib, inventory, manufacturing, maintenance, warehouse, or similar environment.
  • Have mechanical aptitude and enjoy troubleshooting equipment.
  • Have experience repairing small pneumatic or electric tools—or are comfortable learning.
  • Can read schematics, drawings, or equipment manuals.
  • Are comfortable using Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel.
  • Can manage several priorities without losing track of the details.
  • Communicate well with production employees, supervisors, Maintenance, Purchasing, and other teams.
  • Have experience with Lean/5S principles, forklift operation, manlifts, bobcats, or snowplows—helpful, but not required.

What You Can Expect

This is a hands-on role where being organized has a direct impact on an entire manufacturing operation.

You’ll get to work across Production, Maintenance, Purchasing, and Warehouse Operations while developing knowledge of the tools and equipment used throughout our facility. You’ll have ownership of an area where you can create better organization, stronger accountability, and smarter inventory practices—not simply hand out tools.

The position is full-time and hourly, with a regular Monday–Thursday, 6:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. schedule. Some 4:00 a.m. starts will be required, and overtime is possible/probable depending on production needs. Compensation is $17.00–$19.00 per hour, with additional compensation based on experience, plus a competitive benefits package.

Apply Today

If you’re the person who likes knowing what we have, where it is, whether it works, and what we’re going to need next, we want to hear from you.

Join MasterSpas and take ownership of the tools behind the work. Because when production needs something, “I know exactly where it is” is a pretty powerful answer.
