As a Manufacturing Coordinator at HFW, you'll keep jobs moving from order to shipment. You'll schedule work across machining, grinding, thermal spraying, hardfacing, and assembly, track every job through the plant in JobBoss, and keep customers, vendors, and the shop aligned so parts ship when we said they would. HFW provides manufacturing and repair services for precision industrial equipment serving the power generation, oil & gas, and chemical processing industries. The work is high-precision and high-stakes. Our customers run critical equipment, and the parts we build have to perform. You'll join a small, close-knit team reporting to the Manufacturing Manager, with a path to grow into supervisory and management roles as we scale.
