About The Position

The Material Expeditor serves as the critical coordination link between the warehouse and all departments that rely on timely material availability, ensuring our manufacturing production team remains continuously supplied and free from material shortages. This role is responsible for proactively monitoring open orders, tracking at-risk materials, expediting deliveries, and providing clear, timely communication across Purchasing, Planning, Production, Quality, and Warehouse teams. Acting as a central point of coordination rather than a shop floor position, the Material Expeditor anticipates potential supply disruptions and drives resolution before they impact operations. Success in this role is measured by the consistent availability of materials ahead of production requirements, enabling uninterrupted manufacturing and supporting on-time delivery commitments. This role is 100% on site.
