Own the yard. Fuel the build.
Imagine starting your shift with a plan: a delivery of columns arrives at 8:00, the Python structural steel processing machine needs its next run staged by 9:30, and production wants tubing pulled for the afternoon. You’ve mapped the laydown zones, cleared the lanes, and coordinated with the shopnow the yard runs on your cadence.
Your mission
As PEC’s Fabrication Yard Operations & Rigging Coordinator, you will control material flow across the structural steel yardkeeping people safe, schedules on track, and steel exactly where it belongs.
Core impact areas
- Daily yard orchestration: arrange, label, and maintain logical laydown areas for easy retrieval.
- Inbound/outbound handling: load and unload structural steel, fabricated components, and equipment with certified forklift operation.
- Accessibility: preserve clear travel paths so trucks, forklifts, lifts, and other equipment move without risk.
- Production readiness: stage material for deliveries, pickups, and Python machine processing.
- Collaboration: coordinate continuously with the Structural Steel Shop, fabrication teams, and drivers.
- Accuracy: confirm materials land in the correct designated locations; prevent damage, loss, and unsafe storage.
- Rigging excellence: apply proper rigging techniques for long, oversized, and heavy members.
- Housekeeping and safety: remove debris/banding/scrap, perform pre-op checks on equipment, and act on hazards promptly.
- Shop support: assist with material moves and related tasks whenever needed.
