Indotronix is seeking a Material Coordinator in Columbus, Ohio, to support a long-term project for a direct utility client.
The role, which offers a pay rate of $32 per hour on W2, is expected to last at least 12 months. According to a job posting from Indotronix, the position functions as a Material Expeditor tasked with securing the on-time delivery of materials and services essential for both specific projects and ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M).
This recruitment comes as industrial and utility sectors face increasing pressure to stabilize supply chains. The coordinator will be responsible for managing supplier commitments and tracking shipments from start to finish to prevent delays in critical infrastructure work.
The job requires an individual capable of intermediate-level expediting to mitigate schedule impacts. Indotronix reported that the successful candidate must own the expediting process for assigned suppliers and commodities, which includes obtaining firm promise dates and detailed shipment plans.
When delays occur, the coordinator is expected to drive recovery actions. These actions may include pulling in orders, arranging split shipments, identifying alternate sources, or securing approvals for premium freight to keep projects on track.
Beyond mere tracking, the role involves high-level coordination with supplier production, planning, and shipping departments. The goal is to align material readiness with specific site need dates, ensuring that crews on the ground are not left waiting for essential components.
The position also serves as a bridge between various logistics entities. The coordinator will liaise with carriers, brokers, and warehouses to ensure proper routing, accurate documentation, and timely delivery appointments.
The position demands a specific blend of formal education and hands-on experience. Candidates should hold a bachelor’s degree in supply chain, business, or logistics, or an associate’s degree paired with three years of relevant experience. Alternatively, four years of direct experience in expediting, materials, or logistics is acceptable.
Technical proficiency in ERP and MRP systems is a core requirement. The role also necessitates a working knowledge of essential shipment documentation, including:
- Bill of lading (BOL)
- Advance ship notice (ASN)
- Standard shipping terms (INCOTERMS)
Effective communication is vital, as the coordinator must synchronize delivery dates with buyers, planners, site materials teams, and project managers. Maintaining a “single source of truth” within the company’s ERP/MRP systems is a primary responsibility to prevent data silos.
During critical periods such as outages or turnarounds, the coordinator will support operations with daily line-of-balance updates and the management of “hot-lists” to prioritize urgent needs.
Data integrity forms a large part of the workload. The coordinator will be responsible for maintaining accurate purchase order (PO) status and producing weekly reports regarding supplier on-time delivery (OTD) and past-due lines. These reports are intended to help the organization identify trends and recommend process improvements, such as increasing lead-time accuracy or refining confirmation cadences.
The role also carries a level of accountability regarding financial and quality discrepancies. This includes resolving intermediate issues like quality holds, partial shipments, or customs and documentation errors. When necessary, the coordinator will support claims and chargebacks related to late deliveries or the costs of premium freight.
Indotronix, which was recognized as one of the largest staffing companies in 2023 by Staffing Industry Analysts, noted its commitment to a safe and inclusive workplace through this hiring initiative. The company reported that it hired over 1,200 U.S.-based employees as consultants in 2023, contributing to broader workforce expansion.
The position remains a critical link in the utility client’s ability to maintain service reliability through disciplined material management.
