Role
Own fabrication execution and inventory control across the business. Ensure materials and fabricated components are available, on time, to spec, and within budget—from supplier through production and shipment. This role sits at the center of engineering, suppliers, and operations. You are accountable for schedule, quality, and inventory discipline. This is a hands-on execution role, not a coordinator position.
What You’ll Do
Fabrication & Supplier Management
Qualify and manage fabrication partners (stainless, carbon steel, weldments, coatings)
Evaluate supplier capability, capacity, and quality systems
Establish and maintain a reliable fabrication network aligned to demand
Hold suppliers accountable to delivery, quality, and cost commitments
Procurement & Technical POs
Develop and issue detailed fabrication POs (scope, drawings, specs, welding, coatings, documentation)
Negotiate pricing, lead times, and delivery schedules
Ensure all requirements are clearly defined and executable upfront
Expediting & Manufacturing Execution
Own supplier schedules from PO through receipt and shipment
Monitor project manufacturing progress and drive on-time execution
Work directly with fabrication partners to meet project schedules
Identify risks early and resolve before impacting production
Inventory Management
Maintain and optimize inventory levels for U.S. operations
Establish and adjust stocking levels and EOQs
Assign inventory to projects and spare parts based on priority
Execute replenishment through ERP and coordinate inbound logistics
Perform cycle counts and ensure inventory accuracy
Manufacturing Coordination
Work with Engineering and Project Managers to:
Process manufacturing drawings and revisions
Develop and manage Bills of Materials
Prepare packing lists and shipment documentation
Maintain manufacturing standards and ensure compliance with specifications and industry requirements
Ensure fabrication is executed within project budgets
Quality & Inspection
Inspect fabricated components for compliance with drawings and specifications
Visit supplier facilities and job sites to inspect, test, and verify equipment
Drive resolution of non-conformances (root cause, corrective action, prevention)
What Success Looks Like
Fabricated components arrive on time, complete, and usable
Inventory is accurate, right-sized, and available when needed
Suppliers perform without constant escalation
Projects move through fabrication without disruption or rework
Qualifications
5 to 10 years in heavy/industrial fabrication, with inventory experience
Direct experience in fabrication sourcing, expediting, and inventory control
Strong working knowledge of:
Welding processes and standards
Industrial coatings/painting
Mechanical assemblies and fabrication practices
Ability to read and interpret fabrication drawings, BOMs, and specifications
Experience writing technical POs with clear scope and quality requirements
ERP/MRP and inventory management experience
Technical Skills
Proficiency with Autodesk Inventor (or similar 3D CAD)
Strong Excel capability
Ability to analyze defects and drive corrective action
Core Competencies
Execution discipline—delivers without follow-up
Technical judgment—can challenge suppliers and prevent errors
Strong coordination across engineering, operations, and suppliers
Organized and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
Compensation
Salary based on experience
Expectations
Hands-on role – regular interaction with shop floor, warehouse, and suppliers
Own outcomes, not activity
Anticipate and resolve issues before they impact schedule
Bottom Line
If materials don’t show up, show up late, or show up wrong—this role owns it. If projects run clean and ship on time—this role delivered it.
