    • Provide customers with timely order status information and communicate schedule changes.
    • Identify orders that may be at risk and escalate concerns before they affect delivery.
    • Assist with shipping coordination, logistics, documentation, and customer-specific requirements.
    • Prepare internal and customer-facing project status reports.
    • Help improve processes related to order tracking, scheduling, and project coordination.
    • Support other project and operations activities as needed.

    • 1–3 years of experience in project coordination, order management, customer service, inside sales support, or manufacturing operations.
    • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
    • Experience working with ERP systems and project tracking tools.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
    • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate data.
    • Comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where priorities may change.
    • Strong follow-through, judgment, and problem-solving skills.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Background in electrical, industrial, or electromechanical manufacturing.
    • Familiarity with configure-to-order (CTO) or make-to-order manufacturing.
    • Exposure to power distribution products or industrial equipment.
