  • Monitor inventory levels of testing materials, supplies, and consumables; flag shortages or delays
  • Support scheduling adjustments due to changes in demand, equipment availability, or quality requirements
  • Help identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or scheduling conflicts and escalate issues as needed
  • Prepare basic reports on production performance, turnaround times, and capacity utilization
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Internship or co-op experience in manufacturing, laboratory, quality, or operations environments preferred
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills
  • Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Basic understanding of production workflows or quality/testing processes is a plus
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office tools
  • Experience with ERP or production planning systems is a plus but not required
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
What We’re Looking For
  • A motivated, dependable, and detail-driven individual eager to learn production planning and quality-focused operations
  • Someone who thrives in structured environments and understands the importance of accuracy and compliance
  • A team player with a problem-solving mindset and willingness to support continuous improvement
What We Offer
  • Hands-on training and mentorship in production planning and quality operations
  • Exposure to regulated or quality-driven testing environments
  • Opportunities for career growth within operations, supply chain, or quality functions
