Full Job Description

Position Overview

This is a skilled forklift and inventory control role.

The Materials & Inventory Coordinator is responsible for:

Safely operating a forklift to move sheet metal loads up to approximately 4,000 lbs
Managing raw material storage and remnant control
Maintaining accurate digital inventory records
Ensuring material certifications and heat numbers remain traceable
Supporting production flow without disruption

Heavy loads are stored lower; lighter materials may be stored higher. Sound load judgment and precise forklift control are essential.

This role requires both physical competence and strong technical aptitude.

Core Responsibilities

Forklift Operation & Material Movement:

Safely operate forklift to move sheet stock up to 4,000 lbs
Load and unload storage racks and tower systems
Stage material for scheduled laser and press brake operations
Maintain safe, organized forklift pathways
Protect all materials from damage during transport

Experience handling large-format sheet materials is required.

Material Protection & Surface Control:

Handle stainless steel, aluminum, and coated materials without scratching or marring surfaces
Inspect forks and staging areas for burrs or contamination
Use protective methods when necessary
Immediately isolate and report damaged material

Surface condition matters in our production process.

Inventory Control & Traceability (Critical Function):

Receive and verify incoming materials against purchase orders
Label sheets clearly by material type, grade, thickness, and heat number
Maintain accurate inventory counts within digital systems
Track sheet consumption and remnant creation
Identify and resolve discrepancies proactively
Ensure certifications remain linked and traceable

Comfort with digital systems and structured record-keeping is required.

Remnant & Flow Management:

Create standardized remnants according to company policy
Store remnants in organized, reusable formats
Scrap material appropriately and document decisions
Ensure production operators are never waiting on staged material

Required Qualifications

Demonstrated forklift experience handling large sheet materials
Comfortable moving loads up to approximately 4,000 lbs safely and precisely
Strong spatial awareness and load balance judgment
Experience handling easily scratched materials
High attention to detail
Technical aptitude and comfort with digital inventory systems
Strong organizational skills
Reliable attendance and punctuality

Preferred Experience

Sheet metal fabrication environment
Experience managing material certifications and heat numbers
Inventory accounting or ERP system exposure
Prior experience in materials coordination or control

What Success Looks Like

Zero material damage incidents
Accurate material counts and minimal inventory discrepancies
Organized, usable remnant system
Laser and press brake never waiting on material
Clean, structured storage zones

Compensation

Competitive hourly pay based on experience
Paid time off
Performance-based incentives
Growth opportunity into Materials & Inventory Lead

This Is Not

A general warehouse position
A light-duty forklift role
An entry-level job

We are looking for someone who takes ownership of material flow and inventory integrity inside a fast-paced fabrication environment.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $27.00 - $32.00 per hour

Expected hours: No less than 40 per week

Benefits:

401(k)
Employee discount
Health insurance
Paid time off

Application Question(s):

Describe the heaviest load you have moved with a forklift. Include approximate weight, material type, storage setup (racking height), and frequency (daily/weekly/etc).
A purchase order shows 5 sheets of 1/4" steel, but you count 4. What steps would you take before updating inventory?
Production is waiting on material. Updating the system correctly will take 3 minutes. Do you move material first or update inventory first? Explain why.
Have you handled stainless steel or finished aluminum sheet material before? If yes, describe how you prevent surface damage during transport and storage.

Experience:

Forklift: 3 years (Required)

Work Location: In person
