• Proven experience in a role related to machining, procurement, or quality control in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of milling and CNC machining processes, with the ability to evaluate materials based on these principles.
• Experience working with steel materials, molds, die heads, former plates, and other fabricated parts used in industrial manufacturing.
• Familiarity with concrete kerbstone manufacturing processes, especially using large machinery like the Forest Press Machine.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and material specifications to ensure the right materials are ordered.
• Excellent attention to detail and strong organizational skills to track and manage materials and orders.
• Ability to troubleshoot and resolve material discrepancies with suppliers.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work with suppliers, machine operators, and internal teams.
• A solid understanding of workshop safety protocols and best practices.
• [Insert specific qualifications or certifications, if applicable] (e.g., knowledge of CNC programming, welding certifications, etc.).
• High school diploma or equivalent; additional technical training or certification is a plus.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Review technical drawings and specifications to determine material requirements, including steel plates, liners, molds, die heads, former plates, cappings, washers, bolts, and other components needed for production.
• Liaise with external suppliers to order fabricated materials (e.g., steel plates, liners, molds) based on company requirements.
• Inspect incoming materials for quality and ensure they meet the required specifications, including dimensions, thickness, and material composition.
• Ensure that the materials ordered are suitable for use with the Forest Press Machine (400 tons) and other production equipment.
• Apply knowledge of CNC machining, milling, and fabrication processes to verify that external materials meet the correct standards for production.
• Collaborate with external suppliers to resolve any discrepancies or issues with the materials supplied.
• Maintain an organized inventory of materials, tracking orders and deliveries to ensure timely availability.
• Ensure that all materials comply with safety and quality standards for manufacturing operations.
• Oversee and manage the storage and handling of materials to prevent damage and ensure efficient access when required.

DAILY TASKS & OPERATIONS:

• Material Verification: Conduct daily inspections of incoming materials (steel plates, liners, molds, etc.) to ensure they match technical drawings and meet quality standards before they are used in production.
• Supplier Communication: Communicate with suppliers on a daily basis to manage orders, track deliveries, and address any issues related to material quality, specifications, or delays.
• Inventory Management: Regularly monitor and update material inventory, ensuring there are adequate supplies for ongoing projects while minimizing waste or overstock.
• Order Management: Process and track orders for fabricated parts, ensuring that all materials needed for production are ordered in advance and available on time.
• Quality Control: Perform detailed quality checks of materials before they are used in production, ensuring compliance with specifications for size, weight, and composition.
• Documentation: Keep accurate records of material orders, deliveries, and quality checks. Maintain logs of material inspections and any issues raised with suppliers.
• Material Preparation: Ensure that all materials (e.g., steel plates, liners, molds) are properly stored and ready for use, taking care to avoid damage and maintaining easy access for production teams.
• Coordination with Production Team: Work closely with the production team to ensure timely delivery and availability of materials needed for the concrete kerbstone manufacturing process.
• Machine Maintenance Coordination: Oversee the maintenance and upkeep of relevant machinery (including the Forest Press Machine) by ensuring that required parts and tools are available and in good condition.
