About The Position

The Assembly Kit Coordinator is a dedicated kitting role for Assembly. This coordinator tracks work flowing out of metal finishing, anticipates Assembly's needs, and builds complete, ready-to-build kits so assemblers can focus on building fixtures. This role is the critical link between finishing and the assembly bench, and its success is measured by how smoothly assembly runs.

Responsibilities

Kit Building for Assembly: Track parts as they come off metal finishing (plating, powder coat, hand polish, patina) and reconcile them to pending assembly orders. Assemble complete kits per fixture BOM, including finished metal components, glass, wood, fasteners, and hardware. Stage kits in the correct sequence and location for Assembly, with clear identification and any drawings or build notes included.
Electrical Components & Pre-Assemblies: Pull UL-listed electrical components (sockets, wire, strain reliefs, drivers, LED modules, transformers) per fixture specification and revision. Build or stage required sub-assemblies (socket harnesses, pre-wired modules, canopy assemblies) to support assembly flow. Confirm that electrical parts match the listed build and flag any substitutions before release.
Flow & Communication: Partner with metal finishing daily to understand timing and plan kitting accordingly. Communicate shortages, damaged parts, or finish issues early to Pre-Production, Procurement, and Quality. Support prototype and custom builds with one-off kitting as needed.
System & Record Keeping: Execute kitting transactions in WMS and NetSuite to maintain accurate part-to-job tracking and inventory. Maintain clean, organized, and clearly labeled staging areas.
