About this job
Job Description
Picture your day: you start by checking real-time inventory dashboards, confirming overnight receipts, and walking the tool crib to verify counts. You receive, inspect, and stage new stock, then update the system so every tool, part, and piece of equipment is accounted for. Throughout the shift, you issue tools to production, document every transaction for cost control, and keep a close eye on stock thresholds so replenishment requests go out before anyone runs short.
Midday might find you coordinating a tool repair, swapping out worn equipment, or hopping on a forklift to safely move materials. When a quick fix is needed, you perform light MIG/TIG welding or simple fabrication to keep operations moving. As production winds down, you retrieve and reconcile issued tools, secure the area, and leave the workspace clean, organized, and safe—always following company safety policies and procedures.
