At SMSI, we back our people. Above-market pay, strong benefits, real vocational development, and a tight-knit team that takes pride in doing the job right. We run a demanding manufacturing and fabrication operation, and we compensate accordingly for dedication, detail, and professionalism. We’re hiring a Manufacturing Operations Coordinator to run the administrative and digital backbone of our fabrication shop. This is a high-speed, high-accuracy position for someone who thrives in a manufacturing environment, lives in software, and has strong opinions about how workflows should run. You will own the digital systems our jobs flow through — from intake through delivery — and you’ll have a real mandate to improve them. If a process is slow, manual, or error-prone, we expect you to flag it and propose the fix. This is not an entry-level administrative role. We’re looking for an operator.
