Position Summary
At Accurate Fabrication, we believe great manufacturing starts with great organization. We are looking for a highly motivated, detail-oriented Production Support Coordinator who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys solving problems before they become production issues.
This role is the communication hub of our manufacturing operation. You will coordinate production documentation, monitor schedules, communicate priorities, track work orders, and ensure our production teams have everything they need to build products safely, efficiently, and on time.
This is not a position for someone who waits to be told what to do. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, stays organized under pressure, identifies problems early, and consistently looks for ways to improve processes.
If you enjoy being the person everyone relies on to keep production running smoothly, we'd love to meet you.
