ABOUT THE JOB The Material Coordinator is the warehouse-floor owner of material readiness for production. This role lives on the shop floor — not behind a planning screen — walking kits, staging areas, and kanban racks to make sure every scheduled build has material in hand before it's needed. You'll work hand-in-hand with Production to track the build schedule, physically verify kitting status, and keep kanban/bin replenishment running so the line never waits on parts. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Walk the production schedule daily and verify kit status for every upcoming build — confirm parts are pulled, staged, and ready ahead of need date - Flag at-risk builds early by physically checking shortages against the schedule, not just system reports - Coordinate with Production leads on build sequence changes and re-prioritize kitting/staging accordingly - Stage and deliver kits to the production floor in the correct location, quantity, and condition - Monitor kanban card/bin levels across the floor and trigger replenishment before stockouts occur - Walk kanban routes on a set cadence to physically verify min/max levels match what the system shows - Maintain kanban bin locations, labeling, and card integrity; fix broken or missing cards/signals immediately - Right-size kanban quantities based on actual consumption patterns observed on the floor - Perform cycle counts and spot-checks on raw material, WIP, and kitted material locations - Receive, put away, and transact material movements accurately and on time - Maintain lot/serial/batch traceability through proper handling and labeling - Keep staging, kitting, and kanban areas organized, labeled, and audit-ready (5S) - Own the physical flow of material from receiving/stockroom to the production line - Coordinate pickups/deliveries with forklift and material-handling equipment as needed - Partner with Shipping/Receiving to resolve material delivery delays before they hit the line - Identify bottlenecks in kitting flow, kanban replenishment, or staging layout and propose fixes - Apply Lean/5S principles to reduce walk time, handling steps, and material waste - Standardize kitting checklists and kanban visual controls for consistency across shifts - Communicate kitting and kanban status to Production and Supply Chain leadership daily - Train and support material associates on kitting standards, kanban discipline, and floor procedures - Escalate material shortages immediately with clear, specific information (part, quantity, build impact) REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS - 5+ years as a warehouse associate, material handler, or equivalent floor-based manufacturing/warehouse experience - Hands-on experience with kitting, staging, or kanban replenishment in a production environment - Familiarity with inventory/warehouse management tools (ERP, WMS, or similar) for look-ups and transactions — this is a floor execution role, not a system-administration role - Comfortable with Microsoft Office or equivalent tools for basic tracking and reporting - Experience with lot/serial/batch tracking and material traceability - Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities US Hourly Range $25.49—$34.14 USD The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.
