Equipment & Parts Coordinator (Hands-On) – Inventory & Warehouse Operations

Gurtler Industries
South Holland, IL

Gurtler Industries, a stable, family-owned leader in commercial laundry chemical systems and equipment, is seeking a hands-on Equipment & Parts Coordinator to support our team.


*This is not a desk-only inventory role.


This position plays a critical role in keeping our operations running by managing equipment, parts, purchasing, and shipping while also working directly with physical inventory, staging equipment, and supporting field service needs. The ideal candidate is comfortable working both in an office setting and on the shop floor.


If you enjoy working with real products, staying active throughout the day, and being a key part of operational success, this is an opportunity to build a long-term career with a company known for stability and growth.


What You’ll Do

Inventory Management

  • Maintain accurate equipment and parts inventory (no discrepancies or negative inventory)
  • Establish and manage cycle counts and stock accuracy processes
  • Utilize MRP/ERP systems (Acumatica or similar) to:
  • Set reorder points
  • Maintain minimum stocking levels
  • Manage bin locations and part organization
  • Ensure all parts are labeled, tracked, and properly stored


Purchasing

  • Generate and manage purchase orders using MRP/ERP systems
  • Coordinate vendor ordering and ensure best pricing
  • Verify PO accuracy and match invoices to received goods
  • Ensure timely receipt of materials to support operations


Shipping & Coordination

  • Prepare Bills of Lading and pick tickets for outgoing equipment
  • Coordinate shipment timing with freight and field service teams
  • Track shipments to ensure on-time delivery to job sites
  • Review quality control documentation prior to shipment


Equipment Handling & Organization

  • Stage equipment for upcoming projects
  • Maintain organized areas for inventory, staging, returns, and testing
  • Process returned equipment (restock, rebuild, scrap, etc.)
  • Identify opportunities to improve workflow, organization, and space utilization


What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Is comfortable working with mechanical, plumbing, or electrical components
  • Enjoys being both in the office and on the shop floor
  • Has experience working with physical products, equipment, or parts
  • Is detail-oriented but understands real-world operations
  • Communicates effectively with technicians, operations teams, and vendors


Required Qualifications

  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and remain on your feet for extended periods
  • Basic understanding of mechanical, plumbing, or electrical components
  • Basic math and problem-solving skills
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (tables, formulas, tracking)
  • Experience using Outlook and general business systems
  • Strong communication skills (written and verbal English)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in:
  • Equipment, parts, or industrial inventory environments
  • Warehouse, manufacturing, or service-based operations
  • Purchasing, shipping, or logistics coordination experience
  • Excel skills (PivotTables, reporting, data analysis)


This Role May Not Be a Fit If You:

  • Are looking for a purely administrative or desk-based role
  • Do not enjoy working with physical inventory, equipment, or parts
  • Prefer working only in spreadsheets rather than in a hands-on environment


Compensation & Benefits

  • $50,000 – $60,000 annually
  • Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life, disability)
  • Matching 401(k) retirement plan
  • Paid holidays and vacation
