Expediter

About the Role

The Expediter plays a critical role in keeping production running efficiently by ensuring materials, parts, and information flow smoothly across departments. This position works closely with purchasing, inventory, production, and program management teams to prevent shortages, eliminate delays, and support on-time delivery of products.

As the operational bridge between supply chain functions and the production floor, the Expediter monitors material availability, reviews production schedules, and coordinates priorities to ensure jobs are ready to build when needed. When shortages or disruptions occur, the Expediter quickly identifies solutions, communicates with the appropriate teams, and moves materials or resources to keep production moving.

This role is highly active and requires moving throughout the facility during the shift to stage materials, fulfill shortages, and monitor production needs in real time.

• Coordinating with purchasing, inventory, production, and program management teams to maintain workflow
• Facilitating discussions to address bottlenecks or production issues
• Identifying and mitigating potential disruptions before they impact production
• Cross-training to support additional inventory and supply chain functions as needed
