Production Coordinator

Ashworth Awards • North Attleborough, MA

12d • $55,000 - $62,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Ashworth Awards is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Production Coordinator to help keep its manufacturing operations running smoothly. The role coordinates customer orders from initial production planning through completion, working with Production, Purchasing, Receiving, Sales, Design, vendors, and Business Operations. It focuses on organization, communication, and execution rather than formal employee management. The position is on-site in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and reports to the General Manager.

The coordinator monitors production schedules and order status, helps prioritize work, reviews paperwork, tracks orders through production, communicates schedule changes, and follows up on tasks and dependencies. The role also tracks material and supply needs, coordinates vendor orders and deliveries, maintains records, and addresses shortages or delays. It provides day-to-day workflow direction and helps resolve routine production-flow issues, while escalating significant disruptions, safety concerns, and employee policy or conduct matters to the General Manager.

The coordinator maintains schedules, trackers, paperwork, status reports, and information in company systems and spreadsheets, and identifies opportunities to improve organization, communication, and workflow. The role does not make employee-relations, corrective-action, organizational, time-off, scheduling, or payroll decisions, and does not enforce policy. Leadership owns and approves policies and final decisions. The position may step in during urgent situations only when a manager is unavailable.

Ashworth Awards describes itself as a recognition partner with more than 60 years of experience, supporting race directors, event organizers, coaches, and organizations. The role offers the opportunity to expand operational knowledge and responsibilities as the company grows, with potential progression into Production Management as business needs and the role evolve.
