About B-O-F Corporation
For over 70 years, B-O-F Corporation has led the industry in gravity flow shelving innovation - not by simply making fixtures, but by solving retail's most pressing problems through engineering insight, deep partnerships, and a relentless drive to do things better. From iconic products like the Milk Moover® to category-defining systems for single-serve and wine, we help retailers reduce labor, protect margins, and consistently outperform expectations.
We solve problems that most people don't even see, but retailers feel every day. Our team blends engineering precision, creative thinking, and hands-on collaboration to deliver solutions that help stores run smoother and sell more - and we've built a reputation that's trusted and respected across the industry.
Whether you're on the floor at our Illinois headquarters or out in the field with retailers, you'll be joining a team that's been built to last.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We design and assemble shelving for convenience stores, from catalog fixtures to fully custom layouts. Every order passes through a lot of hands before it ships, and this role makes sure nothing gets lost along the way.
As our Order Engineering Coordinator, you’ll be the bridge between sales, engineering and the assembly floor. You’ll take a booked order, make sure it’s complete and buildable, turn engineering BOMs into manufacturing BOMs and routings in NetSuite, and hand the floor a job traveler they can follow without guesswork. If you like catching problems before they become rework, and you enjoy being the person everyone comes to for the right answer, this job is built for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Make sure every order is buildable
- Review each booked sales order for complete specs: fixture sizes, configurations, finishes, accessories, quantities and ship dates.
- Spot missing or conflicting details and resolve them with sales before the order moves forward.
- Classify orders as standard, configured or custom, and route them to the right path.
- Be sales’ go-to contact for technical questions once an order is booked.
Turn engineering into a build plan
- Check SolidWorks BOMs against the sales order and drawings for correct part numbers, quantities, revisions and options.
- Convert engineering BOMs into manufacturing BOMs in NetSuite, structured the way the floor really builds, with subassemblies, kits and phantoms where needed.
- Build and maintain routings with accurate operations, sequences, work centers and standard times.
- Create and maintain clean, consistent item records for new parts and assemblies.
- Flag design issues that affect buildability, cost or lead time back to engineering.
Give the floor clear instructions
- Prepare a job traveler for every job: pick list, routing steps, drawings, key dimensions and special notes.
- Turn engineering drawings into easy-to-follow instructions with clear sequences, callouts and photos or views.
- Keep traveler templates and standard work instructions current for catalog and configured products.
Keep everyone aligned
- Manage changes after release by updating BOMs, routings and travelers so the floor always works from the current revision.
- Keep sales, engineering, purchasing and production on the same page about order details and open issues.
- Answer assembly questions and fix documentation errors at the source.
- Track recurring errors and drive fixes that stop them from coming back.
- Support new product launches by building the first MBOMs, routings and traveler templates.
WHAT YOU BRING
- 2–5 years in manufacturing engineering, order engineering, production planning or a similar role in an assembly environment.
- Experience converting engineering BOMs into manufacturing BOMs.
- Hands-on experience building or maintaining BOMs and routings in an ERP system.
- Strong ability to read engineering drawings, including basic GD&T.
- Solid Excel skills for BOM checks and data cleanup.
- An associate or bachelor’s degree in engineering technology, manufacturing, industrial or mechanical engineering, or equivalent experience.
Nice to have
- NetSuite experience, especially assembly items, BOMs, routings and work orders.
- Working knowledge of SolidWorks: opening models and drawings, reading assemblies and pulling BOM data.
- Background with configure-to-order or engineer-to-order products.
- Experience with store fixtures, sheet metal, wire or wood products, or other retail display manufacturing.
- Exposure to lean manufacturing or standard work.
You'll thrive here if you...
- Sweat the details. You catch the wrong part number, quantity or revision before it reaches the floor.
- Speak everyone’s language. You turn sales talk and engineering detail into instructions an assembler can follow at a glance.
- See the whole system. You understand how the sales order, engineering BOM, manufacturing BOM, routing and work order connect.
- Ask the direct question. You follow up with sales and engineering until the answer is clear and written down.
- Own the outcome. You treat each order as yours until it ships right, and you fix root causes instead of repeating workarounds.
- Juggle well. You keep many orders moving at different stages and prioritize by ship date.
- Think mechanically. You can picture how shelving parts fit together and spot what won’t build.
