Smart Summary

Responsibilities

The Production Data Coordinator acts as a bridge between the shop floor, warehouse, and management by maintaining accurate records in ERP and MES systems. They are responsible for auditing inventory, generating production reports, and resolving material bottlenecks to ensure seamless manufacturing operations.

Qualifications

We need a tech-savvy Production Data Coordinator to gather and input production/inventory data on the shop floor. You should have 1-3 years of manufacturing or inventory experience, strong Excel skills, and great communication for collaborating with various teams. Problem-solving skills and high attention to detail are essential for this active, non-desk-bound role.

Job Description

Overview

We are seeking a highly organized, tech-savvy, and proactive Production Data Coordinator to join our team. Simply put, your main job will be to walk the shop floor, gather critical production and inventory data, and accurately enter it into our computer systems. In this role, you will act as the vital "data bridge" between the active shop floor, the warehouse, and our management team. You will ensure that the flow of critical information and inventory data is just as seamless as the physical manufacturing of our high-end architectural facades.

This is not a traditional, desk-bound clerical job. You will be highly active on the shop floor, collaborating directly with production teams, hunting down inventory discrepancies, and creating simplicity out of the fast-paced chaos of a manufacturing environment. If you are a great communicator who loves spreadsheets just as much as a bustling shop floor, and you have a knack for catching trends and insights early to prevent production delays, we want you on our team.

Laborup

Laborup is solving the labor crisis across the U.S. industrial base. We use AI to transform how manufacturers hire, connecting companies with vetted, skilled workers faster and more efficiently than ever before. By eliminating friction in the hiring process, we help manufacturers fill critical roles, keep production on track, and strengthen America’s workforce. The industrial economy is in crisis. Manufacturers are crippled by labor shortages, struggling to find the skilled workers they need. By 2030, 2.1 million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled, leaving supply chains vulnerable and production stalled. This isn’t just an economic issue—it’s a national security threat. The defense industry, critical infrastructure, and manufacturers that keep America running cannot operate without a reliable workforce. Meanwhile, outdated, expensive hiring models are failing. Companies spend months trying to fill roles, only to face high turnover and costly delays. We believe manufacturers and workers everywhere deserve better.
