Production Coordinator
AlphaX, King Of Prussia, PA, United States
Some companies say they treat their people well. This one was built by brothers — literally — and has operated that way since day one. Our client is a family‑owned structural steel fabricator and erector with a 45,000 sq. ft. shop, a portfolio of 500+ completed projects, and a reputation among GCs and developers for consistency, communication, and execution they don't have to manage around.
What You'll Own
Drive material readiness for production — compile material lists from fabrication prints, perform takeoffs from structural drawings and reserve materials proactively to protect schedule and budget
Own the purchasing function — source materials, negotiate with vendors, confirm orders and delivery timelines, and ensure every purchase aligns with project needs and cost targets
Keep inventory accurate and allocated — track stock daily, maintain minimum levels on consumables, hardware, and paint, and coordinate with the shop team on usage and replenishment
Support technical production prep — scrub drawings for accuracy, check NC1 and CAD files, prepare nesting lists and parts lists using ProNest, and hand off complete documentation packages to the production team
Bridge production and purchasing — work directly with the Production Manager to align material flow with project schedules and communicate ETAs and material risks before they become problems
Maintain documentation integrity — log all orders into the company portal with full detail (supplier, order date, delivery date, material specs), keep vendor confirmations organized, and maintain confidentiality of pricing and project costs
Serve as a reliable link — keep Project Managers, the Production Manager, and ownership informed on material status, risks, and changes without needing to be asked
Requirements
Structural steel industry background — required, non‑negotiable. You must be able to read and interpret fabrication prints for beams, columns, assemblies, and parts. Purchasing or coordination experience without this foundation will not be considered
Demonstrated ability to perform material takeoffs from structural drawings and marked‑up plans
Familiarity with NC1 files and the ability to check them against drawings for accuracy
Comfort with plate nesting concepts; ProNest experience is a plus
Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and the ability to type at 40+ WPM
Strong numerical aptitude — you work comfortably with fractional measurements down to 1/16" increments
Organized, detail‑driven, and able to manage multiple active projects without things falling through the cracks
Clear communicator across shop floor, office, and vendor relationships
Non‑union affiliation required
Benefits
Competitive salary commensurate with experience
Health insurance and benefits
Paid time off and paid holidays
Primarily office‑based role with occasional shop exposure
A stable, growing company with an established project pipeline and long‑term customer relationships
Direct access to ownership and the chance to grow with a team that promotes from within
