Senior Production Control & Material Planning Specialist

Are you experienced in turning structural steel drawings and bills of material into accurate purchasing, cutting and fabrication plans?

I’m working with a leading U.S. structural steel fabricator that has expanded its production capacity and is now looking to strengthen its production control team.

This is a technical, office-based fabrication role, not a shop-floor supervisory position.

You will help ensure the correct steel is purchased, efficiently allocated and released to the appropriate fabrication shop.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing fabrication drawings, BOMs and material requirements
• Determining the required steel grades, quantities and lengths
• Purchasing material from mills and service centres
• Producing and checking cut lists
• Manually nesting material to minimise waste
• Allocating material across multiple fabrication shops
• Coordinating drawing and work-package releases
• Tracking inventory, shortages, remnants and replacement material
• Supporting subcontracted fabrication packages
• Working with detailing, purchasing, project management and production

• Background in production control, material planning, CNC programming or steel purchasing
• Ability to read shop drawings and understand BOMs
• Experience with beams, columns, plate and main-member material
• Knowledge of nesting and cut optimisation
• Tekla Power Fab/EPM, Fab Trol or similar software experience
• Leadership potential and the ability to progress into a more senior position

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing fabricator and develop towards a future leadership role within production control and material management.
