OUR CORE VALUES: HOW WE WORK
Your role will be a direct expression of the principles that define Standard Iron:
- Commitment to People: Serving as the essential link between the customer’s needs and our shop floor’s capacity—building trust through clear communication and realistic scheduling.
- Commitment to Customers: Acting as the guardian of On-Time Delivery (OTD), ensuring that every order is entered, scheduled, and shipped with precision and speed.
- Commitment to Action: Proactively identifying bottlenecks and managing "expedites and defers" to keep our production flow optimized and our logistics moving.

We need a high-energy "juggler" who can move from technical data entry to high-stakes production scheduling without missing a beat.
- Order & Demand Stewardship: Own the entry and validation of Purchase Orders and quotes. You’ll manage mass price changes and NPIs (New Product Introductions), ensuring that every revision change is captured so we build to the latest specs.
- The Blueprint for Flow: Create and release job orders to the floor. You monitor labor reporting and prioritize work orders to ensure the shop floor is always working on the right part at the right time.
- Customer & Production Diplomacy: Act as the primary bridge. You’ll negotiate "move outs" and expedites with customers while simultaneously coordinating internal priorities with the production team to balance capacity.
- Logistics & Load Planning: Execute the final mile. You’ll lead load planning, generate BOLs and labels, and maintain an accurate shippable inventory to ensure our logistics run as efficiently as our machines.
- Performance Analysis: Proactively monitor open orders to kill bottlenecks before they happen. You own the OTD (On-Time Delivery) metrics, turning data into actionable improvements.
- Experience: 3+ years in supply chain, planning, or customer service within a manufacturing environment. You understand how a shop floor breathes.
- Systems Expertise: High proficiency with ERP systems (Syteline/Infor CSI experience is a major win) and customer portals.
- Technical Knowledge: Advanced Excel skills for data analysis and a solid understanding of logistics, load planning, and inventory management.
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills; you must be comfortable "holding the line" with customers while supporting the production team.
- The Juggler: You thrive in the "organized chaos" of manufacturing. You can shift from a detailed price audit to a logistics crisis without losing your cool.
- The Perfectionist: You have an "eagle eye" for revisions. You know that producing the wrong revision isn't just an error—it’s a wasted day of production.
- The Problem Solver: You don't just report a delay; you find a way to reshuffle the schedule or coordinate a shipment to make it work.
- The Communicator: You can translate a complex production delay into a professional customer update, maintaining credibility and trust at every turn.
- Monday – Thursday: 7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
- Friday: 7:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Yes, you read that right—your weekend starts at noon!)
