The OpportunityA position within a well-established, privately owned fabrication and manufacturing business.
This role sits at the intersection of production, planning, and supply chain, taking ownership of job coordination from sales handover through to delivery and invoicing.You'll be responsible for ensuring all production jobs are technically prepared, accurately costed from a materials perspective, and tracked through each stage of the workshop lifecycle — from procurement and cutting through to fabrication, finishing, and dispatch.This is a strong prospect for someone with a fabrication or trade background looking to transition off the tools into a coordination/planning pathway, while still leveraging their technical knowledge.Key ResponsibilitiesProduction & Job CoordinationPrepare and manage complete production job packs, ensuring all documentation, drawings, BOMs and instructions are accurate and workshop-readyTrack and maintain real-time job status across all stages: procurement, cutting, preparation, mark-up, welding, finishing and dispatchIdentify and escalate production risks, bottlenecks, or delays, working with planning and workshop teams to mitigate impact on deliveryPerform detailed material take-offs from drawings, generating accurate Bills of Materials aligned to fabrication tolerances and process requirementsDevelop efficient cutting lists, optimising material utilisation and reducing wasteDetermine appropriate sourcing strategy (processed vs parent material lengths)
