Fabrication Administrator

Pitt Meadows Plumbing and Mechanical Systems (PMP) has been a leader in the plumbing and mechanical industry for over 40 years. We pride ourselves on being a family-owned and operated company. We specialize in pre-fabrication, modular systems and installation of large-scale residential, commercial, institutional, educational, and medical design-build plumbing and mechanical projects.

Our company is growing fast, and we are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic team player to join us as a Fabrication Administrator at our Shop in Maple Ridge.

This includes preparing documentation, ordering and chasing materials, confirming everything needed is on hand before fabrication starts, making up and releasing shop orders, monitoring production on assigned projects, and completing handover.

The role is based at the PMP's fabrication facility and works primarily in and around the shop.

Specifically, the Fabrication Administrator will…

• Prepare and maintain the documentation package for each fabrication project.
• Manage drawings, revisions, specifications and fabrication packages so the shop is never working from superseded information.

• Place material orders for fabrication projects based on the requirements of the shop and the project teams.

• Maintain shop order records in Stratus and the shop's other systems.
• Monitor production on assigned projects against the schedule and the required dates.
• Keep fabrication status current in the shop's tracking systems.
• Identify shop orders running late
• Prepare weekly status information on assigned projects.
• Coordinate completed shop orders with the Logistics team, including packaging, storage and shipment.
• Prepare shipping documentation and confirm delivery requirements with the project team.
• Keep visibility of fabricated material held at the facility awaiting shipment.
• Complete project handover, including documentation, quality records and confirmation that the scope is finished.
• Take part in the shop's Lean and continuous improvement work.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
