Title: Tool Crib & VMI Specialist (Field Service)
Location: Plymouth, MN (with 40% regional travel)
Salary Range: $28.00 - $32.00 / hour
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM
About the Role:
Are you an experienced Tool Crib Attendant, an Industrial Distributor Specialist (Fastenal, MSC, Grainger), or a Machinist looking to step away from physical machine operation into a technical, client-facing career?
If so, this is the perfect opportunity to leverage your cutting tool knowledge in a new direction. In this role, you will travel regionally (approx. 40% via car/airplane) to install, optimize, and maintain automated tool vending and inventory systems directly at our customer manufacturing facilities.
What We Offer:
- $28.00 - $32.00/hour (with annual performance & salary reviews)
- Day 1 Benefits: Excellent Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- 401(k) with Company Match
- Generous Paid Time Off (Holidays, Personal, & Vacation)
Key Responsibilities:
- Client-Site Audits: Assess, identify, and collect tooling inventory data at customer locations.
- System Installation: Lead or support the physical installation of automated tool-vending hardware, organize/label customer tooling, and establish inventory tracking databases using Excel.
- Customer Training: Provide professional, friendly on-site software training to client teams post-installation.
- Tech Support: Perform ongoing remote and on-site software maintenance and hardware support for vending machinery.
- Warehouse Backup: Provide localized support to our internal Tool Crib, delivery routes, and warehouse when not traveling.
What We Are Looking For:
- 3+ years of Tool Crib management, industrial inventory (VMI), or related machining/manufacturing environment experience.
- Strong Cutting Tool Literacy: Must easily identify common cutting tool types (inserts, end mills, drills, taps) and communicate using standard terminology.
- Tech & Excel Savvy: Proficient computer skills, including the ability to utilize Excel for organizing inventory data and maintaining basic software systems.
- Field-Ready & Client-Facing: Professional customer service skills with a friendly, outgoing personality.
- VMI Familiarity (A Plus!): Prior exposure to industrial vending or tool management software (Fast Track, Cribware, Tool Boss, Matrix, CribMaster, AutoCrib, etc.) is highly helpful but not required.
Requirements:
- Ability to travel up to 40% of the time via car or airplane.
- Valid Driver’s License with a clean, acceptable driving record.
