Position Summary

The Parts & Tooling Coordinator is responsible for ensuring production and maintenance teams have the parts, tooling, supplies, and materials required to maximize machine uptime and throughput.

The primary objective of the role is to support production by eliminating delays caused by missing parts, tooling, supplies, or poor preparation.
