We are seeking a grounded, adaptable, and proactive Procurement & Logistics Coordinator to manage our material pipeline and outbound shipping functions with proven experience in a manufacturing environment.

This is a highly active, hands-on role in a manufacturing facility—it is not a sedentary desk job. You will seamlessly balance professional administrative procurement with real-world, on-the-floor warehouse operations. Rather than a "know-it-all" approach, we are looking for a grounded team player who is ready to listen, learn our workflows, and collaborate cleanly with our tenured staff.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee and maintain existing relationships with approximately 25 core industrial suppliers (primarily metal fabrication houses, structural steel providers, and plastic molding manufacturers) while identifying and onboarding new vendors.
• Manage an annual purchasing spend of $2 Million+, leveraging structural Bills of Materials (BOM) to verify material requirements, guarantee order accuracy, and keep production departments fully staged.
• Directly monitor and reconcile $1 Million in active parts and materials inventory. Note: Our facility relies on manual verification and physical auditing; we do not utilize RF barcode scanning devices.
• Spend dedicated time in the warehouse physically wrapping, packing, and crating parts sales and outbound shipments. This requires a willingness to perform physical handling and handle logistics firsthand.
• Generate accurate freight quotes using internal templates, handle shipping documents, and coordinate logistics schedules with commercial carriers.
• Track, organize, and maintain compliance for controlled substances (e.g., industrial cleaners, oils, manufacturing lubricants), ensuring up-to-date Safety Data Sheets (SDS/MSDS) are maintained.

Systems & Technology

We are entering an era of modernization. You will start on our current systems and help us transition to a modern cloud architecture over the next year:

• Current Systems: ALERE ERP, UPS WorldShip, and manual inventory ledgers.
• Future State: Moving to Infor CloudSuite Distribution (CSD) within the next 12 months.

Qualifications & Physical Requirement

• sMinimum of 2 years of experience handling purchasing, inventory control, or shipping logistics directly within a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment
• .A collaborative, flexible professional with a strong work ethic who handles changing plant priorities gracefully
• .Ability to lift/carry up to 50 pounds unassisted; capability to walk, stand, stoop, and pack materials in an environment subject to extreme seasonal weather temperature
