About the role

  • Success in this role means spools move through fabrication in the right order, material shortages are resolved before they impact the floor, shipping commitments are met, and Project Managers have accurate, real-time visibility into fabrication status.
  • This is a hands-on coordination role that requires strong organizational discipline, clear communication, and a thorough understanding of pipe fabrication workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain the master fabrication schedule, prioritizing spool release and production sequences based on project delivery dates, field installation milestones, and client-driven critical path requirements.
  • Collaborate with Project Managers to understand spool priority rankings and translate those priorities into daily and weekly shop floor work assignments in coordination with the Superintendent.
  • Manage and communicate the impact of scope changes, hold releases, or material delays on the fabrication schedule, providing revised lookahead schedules as conditions change.
  • Develop and manage outbound shipping schedules aligned with field installation sequences, coordinating with the Superintendent to ensure completed spools are inspected, marked, and staged for timely release.
  • Maintain material allocation records by project and spool, ensuring that inventory is committed against the correct job and that shortages are identified and expedited before they delay the shop floor.
  • Coordinate with Project Managers and purchasing on material procurement priorities, substitution approvals, and vendor lead times to support the production schedule.
  • Maintain accurate production records within the system, ensuring that spool status, material consumption, and shipping data are kept current and accessible to Project Managers and leadership.
  • Identify and communicate gaps or inefficiencies in current ERP utilization and support continuous improvement of how production data is captured and reported.
  • Support the Superintendent in maintaining a safe and organized shop environment, reinforcing compliance with OSHA standards, company safety policies, and PPE requirements.
  • Facilitate daily or weekly production standup meetings with the Superintendent and lead fabricators to review priorities, surface constraints, and align the team on the day's critical path work.

Requirements

  • Maintain accurate shipping logs and documentation, including packing lists, weld traceability records, and MTR packages required for regulated-market deliveries to industrial clients.
  • Coordinate with Quality Control to ensure that fabricated spools are released only after required inspections, weld documentation, and NDE are complete and recorded.
