Salary Range: $50K - $62K

Keep the Plant Moving

At Pacific Coast Manufacturing, we combine precision, craftsmanship, and ingenuity to create products built for the outdoors and built to last.

We’re problem-solvers, detail-obsessed builders, and people who take pride in doing great work. What we make ultimately ends up in backyards, where people gather, grill, relax, and make memories. We believe every detail mattersand we celebrate good work.

We’re looking for an Operations Coordinator to take ownership of the day-to-day processes that keep our plant running smoothly from parts and consumables ordering to inventory accuracy, shipping and receiving, and general operational support.

This is a hands-on, generalist role at the center of PCM’s plant operations. You’ll be the person who notices what’s running low, catches when inventory doesn’t match reality, and makes sure what moves through the plant is accurately reflected in our systems.

You’ll work closely with plant leadership and the floor team to keep things organized, accurate, and moving. Just as importantly, you’ll help turn reactive processes into simple, reliable systems that prevent problems before they affect production.

What You'll Do

Parts & Consumables Management

• Own ordering and stock levels for plant hardware and consumables, including fasteners, hinges, PPE, and other small-parts inventory.
• Establish and maintain practical reorder points and inventory buffers to prevent production delays.
• Monitor usage and availability to identify potential shortages before they become problems.

Inventory Accuracy & Cycle Counts

• Own a weekly rotating cycle-count program across WIP, finished goods, and raw-material areas.
• Reconcile physical counts and document discrepancies.
• Identify and escalate issues such as mislabeled parts, quantity mismatches, missing scrap, or remake entries.
• Help build a consistent, reliable inventory process rather than relying on an annual physical count to uncover problems.

Shipping & Receiving Accuracy

• Ensure outbound shipments including customer orders, warranty replacements, and dealer shipments are accurately processed and closed.
• Confirm inbound receipts are entered promptly and accurately, including verifying quantities against purchase orders.
• Partner with the warehouse team to ensure physical material movement matches what's recorded in the system.
• Catch missed or delayed transactions before they become larger inventory issues.

General Operations Support

• Provide day-to-day operational support to plant leadership and the floor team.
• Identify recurring gaps, bottlenecks, and process issues and recommend practical solutions
• Take ownership of the details that keep the plant organized,accurate, and moving.
