About the Company
Our client is a growing Canadian manufacturer specializing in precision filling and packaging equipment used across the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, and other regulated industries.
Operating within a lean, hands-on manufacturing environment, the company designs and builds both standard and custom equipment for customers across North America. With engineering, production, sales, finance, and operations working closely together, this is an environment where people have visibility across the business and the chance to make a real impact.
As the organization continues to grow, they are looking for a strong supply chain professional who can bring structure, ownership, and proactive problem-solving to purchasing, inventory, materials, and supplier management.
Position Summary
Our client is seeking a hands-on Supply Chain Coordinator to own the day-to-day flow of materials and components required to keep production moving.
Reporting to the VP of Operations, you will manage purchasing, inventory, supplier relationships, production material requirements, shipping and receiving, while playing a key role in maintaining accurate and reliable supply chain data within NetSuite.
This role is ideal for someone who understands that supply chain in a growing manufacturer doesn't always fit neatly into one box. You may be negotiating with a supplier in the morning, solving a material shortage before lunch, and working with production to get ahead of next week's build schedule in the afternoon.
If you're organized, proactive, comfortable owning your function, and good at solving problems before they become production problems, you'll fit right in.

Production Planning & Support
- Work closely with production and engineering to align material availability with build schedules
- Support work orders and material requirements within NetSuite
- Track custom components, fabrications, and long-lead materials
- Identify potential material constraints before they impact production
- Respond quickly to shortages and changing production priorities
- Support new product introductions and custom equipment builds from a materials perspective
Logistics, Shipping & Receiving
- Coordinate inbound shipments and outbound equipment, components, and spare parts
- Work with carriers and freight partners to support cost-effective and timely deliveries
- Prepare and maintain required shipping documentation

NetSuite & Process Improvement

- Maintain item masters, vendor records, pricing, and related supply chain data
- Create and maintain reports and dashboards related to inventory, open purchase orders, shortages, and supplier performance
- Identify opportunities to improve purchasing, inventory, and materials processes
- Work cross-functionally with operations,
engineering, production, sales, and finance to improve visibility and planning
