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

Plan and maintain the master production schedule and finite shop schedules based on demand, capacity, and material availability
Convert demand/forecasts into work orders; release, sequence, and track orders to meet on-time delivery commitments
Plan and schedule materials (MRP) to ensure right-part, right-quantity, right-time availability; proactively mitigate shortages and delays
Coordinate daily with production, procurement, quality, logistics, and engineering to align priorities, resolve constraints, and remove roadblocks
Execute accurate ERP/MRP transactions (WO creation, rescheduling, backflush, status updates) and maintain planning parameters
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

Required Skills/Qualifications

Strong experience in supply chain, production planning, materials planning, or scheduling in a manufacturing environment
Proficiency with ERP/MRP (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Infor);
Strong Excel skills
Strong analytical ability, attention to detail, and structured problem solving
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
Good understanding of BOMs, routings, lead times, capacity planning, and inventory control
Experience in regulated industries, exposure to lean processes and basic SQL/reporting
