Job Description

Kairos Power is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Facilitator to independently coordinate material readiness, inventory control, and material movement for complex manufacturing work.

Key Responsibilities

Independently plan and execute assigned material-support activities within approved production priorities; anticipate shortages, storage constraints, and handling needs; communicate affected jobs, recovery options, and required decisions in time to support production commitments.
Review approved work orders, material lists, drawings, and inventory records with planners and shop supervisors to establish material needs; verify quantities, locations, kit completeness, required documentation, and material status; provide reliable readiness updates.
Coordinate and perform receiving, storage, kitting, staging, issuing, returns, and movement of raw materials, work in process, finished parts, fixtures, and tooling; maintain records of material custody and coordinate timely handoffs within and between manufacturing sites.
Verify material identity, quantity, condition, markings, and documentation against approved requirements; maintain required lot, heat, and serial traceability and links to material test reports through preparation, cutting, movement, and returns, including remnants.
Identify damaged, unidentified, or potentially nonconforming material; prevent unintended use and coordinate containment and evaluation with QC; perform inspection or acceptance activities only when qualified and authorized under approved procedures.
Perform and troubleshoot inventory and material transactions in Infor CSI and approved shop-floor tools; reconcile physical movements with system records and resolve transaction errors through approved correction and adjustment processes.
Execute cycle counts and physical inventories, investigate complex discrepancies, and document evidence supporting corrections; identify recurring causes and implement approved improvements; provide records for inventory reconciliation and audits.
Coordinate the resolution of shortages and track incoming material, outside processing, and transfer status with Planning, Procurement, QC, and site contacts; resolve routine handoff issues within delegated authority and escalate unresolved risks with clear owners and next steps.
Support planners with job-submission information, material requirements, and authorized data entry using approved engineering information; manufacturing Planning retains ownership of production schedules and job release.
Develop and update work instructions, checklists, and training aids with process owners.
Lead assigned improvements to material flow, inventory accuracy, traceability, and ERP use through approval, implementation, and verification of results.
Train and mentor less-experienced facilitators in material control, safe handling, and ERP procedures; demonstrate tasks, observe performance, provide constructive feedback, and communicate training needs to the manager or supervisor.
Use inventory and workflow data to monitor assigned work, identify recurring constraints, and report progress
Share effective practices across sites and help establish consistent execution as manufacturing demand grows.
Operate forklifts, lifting equipment, and other assigned material-handling equipment only within current training and authorization
Maintain orderly storage and staging areas, protect materials from damage or contamination, and report unsafe conditions.
Maintain retrievable material records in approved systems and support quality reviews, audits, and corrective actions. Apply material-control requirements for the assigned job and escalate unclear requirements to the responsible function.
Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

High school diploma or GED required; relevant technical, manufacturing, inventory, or logistics training preferred.
Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in manufacturing facilitation, materials management, warehousing, inventory control, or production support, including hands-on work in a machine shop, fabrication shop, or comparable industrial environment.
Experience independently resolving complex material, inventory, or workflow problems and coordinating across departments, delivering reliable results with limited day-to-day direction.
Experience using ERP systems for inventory and material transactions, discrepancy investigation, and reporting required; Infor CSI, Factory Track, and document-management system experience preferred.
Experience maintaining material identification, traceability, and controlled records required; experience supporting ISO 9001, ASME Code, or other regulated manufacturing work preferred.
Experience training coworkers and implementing documented process improvements required.
