Charlie Agency has been retained to recruit a Material Coordinator for a well-established local manufacturing company. Known for its precision-driven, high-volume production and its genuinely supportive team culture, this proudly Canadian employer is in a period of strong growth and values resourcefulness, quality, and people who take real ownership of their work.
The Material Coordinator sits at the crossroads of procurement, production, and inventory, making sure the right materials are in the right place at the right time, every time. Reporting to the Procurement Manager, you'll keep production moving by staying ahead of shortages, safeguarding inventory accuracy, and being the person who finds a solution when a supplier falls through.

- A pivotal role where your work directly enables on-time delivery and keeps the production floor running.
- A dynamic office-and-shop-floor environment where no two days are the same.

- Real room to grow: this company values internal promotion and is expanding fast.
- Full benefits, RRSP, three weeks of vacation, and a day-shift schedule (Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 4:30).
RESPONSIBILITIES

- Maintain accurate inventory records in ERP/MRP systems, including cycle counts, FIFO traceability, and job-level consumption tracking.
- Act as the link between Purchasing, Production, and Sales, expediting critical materials, flagging risks early, and aligning delivery commitments with real material availability.
- Manage BOM alignment, material receipts, transfers, and documentation with the precision that complex manufacturing demands.
- Support lean and continuous improvement initiatives to streamline material flow, staging, and warehouse organization.
