Job Description
Job Description To support a successful launch and ongoing production stability, we are seeking a Spare Parts Coordinator to own the planning, availability, and flow of critical maintenance and production spare parts. This role serves as a single point of accountability across Maintenance, Engineering, Production, and Purchasing to ensure the right parts are available at the right time—minimizing unplanned downtime and protecting equipment uptime. The Spare Parts Coordinator will catalog legacy and launch-related parts, build and maintain critical spare parts lists, set inventory strategies, and actively manage consumption and lead times using Maximo and related systems. This role is key to enabling Maintenance teams to focus on fast, effective repairs instead of expediting parts.

Supplier & Cross Functional Coordination:
- Work directly with suppliers (online, phone, and in person) to source, expedite, and manage parts.
- Serve as the primary contact for Maintenance group leaders, technicians, skilled trades, and machine repair personnel seeking parts.
- Align with Engineering, Maintenance, Production, and Purchasing on spare parts strategy and execution.
Safety & Process Excellence:
- Ensure all spare parts processes comply with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and applicable industrial safety standards.
