to support daily operations within a custom manufacturing environment. This role is critical to ensuring sales orders are accurately entered, tracked, and communicated across internal teams, vendors, and customers.

The Order Management Specialist is

not a buyer role

This position will begin with hands-on, task-driven responsibilities and evolve into greater ownership of order flow and customer communication as proficiency increases.

Review incoming sales orders for accuracy, pricing, and documentation requirements

Enter detailed job and order information into the ERP system

Maintain clear, accurate job notes and order records

Qualifications

2-4 years of experience in order management, operations coordination, or supply chain administration (manufacturing or distribution preferred)

Comfortable with task-driven work and data entry, especially early on

Proficient in Microsoft Outlook and basic Excel tracking

Proactive mindset; willing to ask questions and learn

Ability to manage multiple priorities while remaining team-oriented

What We're Looking For

A dependable, detail-focused professional who takes ownership of their work

Someone who values follow-through and operational excellence

A customer- and process-minded individual who enjoys supporting others

Attitude, care, and business curiosity matter more than specific technical skills-training will be provided

Collaborative, team-oriented work environment

Leadership that values accountability, reliability, and growth

Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and bonus opportunities
