Shipping & Receiving Coordinator

About This Role

You manage the flow of materials and finished parts through our facility. Receive incoming raw materials, verify quantities against purchase orders, organize stock, and ensure the shop floor always has what it needs. On the outbound side, you'll package precision aerospace parts to customer specifications, generate shipping labels, coordinate carriers, and make sure every shipment goes out on time and damage-free.

In a precision machining shop, how you handle parts matters. These aren't commodity items — they're high-value aerospace and defense components with strict packaging and documentation requirements. We're a startup building our logistics systems, so you'll have input on how we organize our stockroom, track inventory, and streamline our shipping processes.
