Job Description Summary

Join us as a Production Planner and help keep our shop floor running smoothly. You’ll be the one that connects production, procurement, quality, supply chain and engineering—turning demand signals into clear plans, schedules, and priorities.

Day to day, you’ll plan and schedule material and capacity needs, make sure parts and documents are ready when the team needs them, and keep work orders moving to hit our delivery commitments. You’ll follow established routines but also have the flexibility to reshuffle and resequence tasks as things change—solving problems in real time to prevent shortages, protect quality, and keep everything on track. Your attention to detail will lift the quality of your own work and empower the team around you.

If you enjoy coordinating across teams, using ERP/MRP tools, and staying one step ahead to keep production flowing, we’d love to hear from you.

Job Description

• Monitor and communicate schedule adherence, capacity utilization, and constraints; lead daily/weekly tier meetings to review plan vs. actual
• Resequence tasks and adjust schedules based on changing conditions (e.g., equipment downtime, quality holds, supplier slips) while protecting critical-path builds
• Drive problem-solving for schedule risks; initiate recovery plans, expedites, and alternate routings/parts where appropriate and approved
• Maintain configuration control and documentation accuracy; ensure travelers, drawings, and specifications are current at point of use
• Track and improve planning KPIs such as on-time delivery, schedule adherence, past-due WOs, and inventory health (days of supply, shortages)
• Support continuous improvement: standardize planning workflows, improve data accuracy, and contribute to S&OP/capacity reviews

• Proficiency with ERP/MRP (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Infor);

• Effective communicator who can influence across function

Desired Skills/Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, operations, industrial engineering, or related field and/or equivalent experience
