Material coordinator & bandsaw operator

Core Responsibilities

• Bandsaw Operation: Safely set up and operate industrial horizontal/vertical bandsaws to cut raw metals, structural steel, piping, and tubing to exact specifications outlined in work orders.
• Shop Floor Supply & Kitting: Stage, kit, and distribute cut-to-length materials and specialized components (valves, fittings) directly to manufacturing bays to eliminate production downtime.
• Material Movement (Forklift): Operate a forklift safely to transport heavy raw materials from outdoor storage yards and indoor racks to the cutting station and shop floor.
• Internal Inventory Control: Monitor stock levels within shop storage and outdoor yards, perform regular cycle counts, and report material shortages to procurement.
• Basic Inventory Lookup: Use the company computer system strictly to check stock levels, verify part locations, and look up material availability.
• Material Traceability: Ensure material tags, heat numbers, and heat codes are transferred accurately to cut pieces to maintain full oil and gas quality compliance.
• Equipment Maintenance & Safety: Perform basic preventive maintenance on saws (blade changes, fluid checks) and adhere strictly to all HSE guidelines, including wearing proper PPE for cutting environments.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: 1–3 years of experience in a manufacturing, heavy fabrication, or machine shop environment. Direct experience operating industrial bandsaws is a strong asset.

• Computer Skills: Basic computer literacy with the ability to navigate internal databases solely to check inventory levels.
• Technical Skills: Ability to read tape measures, use calipers, and follow instructions from blue prints or Bills of Materials (BOM) for precise cuts.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

• Outdoor & Indoor Work: Comfortable working both indoors on the concrete shop floor and outdoors in the material storage yards under varying weather conditions.
