MRB CoordinatorManufacturing Operations * Weirton, WV On-site

Role Description

The MRB Coordinator is a critical operational role at Form Energy, reporting directly to the Senior Manager of Operations. This position is responsible for the efficient, cross‑functional management of nonconforming material (NCM) across all value streams in Form Factory 1 (FF1). You will own the performance of the MRB cages, ensuring that nonconforming material is effectively contained, investigated, and dispositioned to maintain a near‑zero day‑over‑day inventory level.

This role is hands‑on, data‑driven, and requires a blend of process discipline and a continuous improvement mindset. You will collaborate with Quality and Process Engineering to drive corrective actions and long‑term process stability, and serve as the primary liaison between Operations and Engineering.

• Own MRB Cage Performance: Maintain near‑zero inventory levels day‑over‑day by ensuring all nonconforming material is identified, quarantined, and dispositioned (rework, scrap, return to vendor, engineering hold) timely.
• Data‑Driven Improvement: Utilize data analysis and performance metrics to identify the top opportunities for process and quality improvements; partner with Quality and Process Engineering to implement these initiatives.
• Operational Leadership: Provide functional, dotted‑line leadership to the MRB technician team, ensuring consistent execution of containment, labeling, and material movement procedures.
• Cross‑Functional Liaison: Serve as the primary bridge between Operations and Engineering, facilitating swift resolution of nonconforming material issues and ensuring production throughput remains steady.
• Process Compliance: Ensure all activities comply with established Quality Management Procedures (QM) and provide guidance on unique or non‑standard nonconformances.
• Reporting & Communication: Monitor KPIs—including average age of inventory and disposition cycle time—and maintain clear, consistent communication regarding NCR status via internal channels.
• System Integrity: Verify that MES status updates are accurate and that all disposition documentation is audit‑ready.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related technical field preferred.
• Experience: 2‑5 years in quality, manufacturing, or process engineering within a fast‑paced production environment.
• Problem‑Solving: Strong analytical skills and proven ability to synthesize complex defect data into actionable improvement projects.
• Leadership: Demonstrated experience leading cross‑functional teams and providing functional or dotted‑line leadership to technical associates.
• Technical Aptitude: Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and understand chemical‑electro‑mechanical assemblies.
• Systems Proficiency: Experience with QMS software, ERP systems (Quickbase or similar), and manufacturing execution systems (MES).
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, bridging the gap between technical engineering teams and shop‑floor operations.
