About the Role

Were looking for an experienced Production Planner to help coordinate manufacturing schedules materials capacity and priorities across a busy production environment.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys figuring out what needs to happen when it needs to happen and what could prevent it from happening on time. Youll work across Production Engineering Purchasing Supply Chain and Operations to keep jobs moving and identify potential issues before they affect schedules or customer commitments.

This is more than a scheduling or administrative positionyoull need to understand how materials labor capacity lead times and production priorities all interact.

What Youll Do
  • Develop and maintain daily weekly and longer-term production schedules based on demand priorities materials and available capacity.

  • Maintain the master production schedule and adjust priorities as production conditions change.

  • Create release and schedule production jobs within the companys ERP system.

  • Review MRP requirements to identify material shortages upcoming needs and potential production constraints.

  • Monitor inventory and material availability and coordinate with Purchasing and Supply Chain to address shortages or delays.

  • Track production progress and adjust schedules when jobs fall behind or priorities change.

  • Coordinate materials labor equipment and available manufacturing capacity to support production requirements.

  • Identify scheduling conflicts bottlenecks and capacity constraints and work with the appropriate teams to resolve them.

  • Monitor job progress throughout the manufacturing process and communicate potential delivery or scheduling concerns.

  • Analyze production and scheduling data and prepare reports related to capacity inventory production performance and schedule adherence.

  • Work closely with Engineering Procurement Production Operations and Supply Chain to keep projects aligned.

  • Support process improvements related to production flow scheduling inventory and operational efficiency.

What Were Looking For
  • 3 years of experience in production planning production scheduling manufacturing planning or a similar role.

  • Experience working in a manufacturing or project-based production environment.

  • Strong understanding of ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing planning processes.

  • Experience creating and maintaining production schedules.

  • Understanding of material requirements inventory lead times capacity and production constraints.

  • Strong Microsoft Excel and data analysis skills.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects priorities and changing production requirements.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across Production Engineering Supply Chain Purchasing and Operations.

  • Bachelors degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

Experience That Could Be Helpful
  • Experience with Epicor or a similar manufacturing ERP system.

  • Engineered-to-order make-to-order or other project-based manufacturing experience.

  • Experience working with complex bills of material (BOMs) and material requirements planning.

  • Knowledge of Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement.

  • Experience supporting complex production environments with multiple concurrent jobs or projects.

Who This Could Be a Great Fit For

The right person will be someone who can look ahead rather than simply react.

You should be comfortable working inside an ERP system and digging into the details but also comfortable picking up the phone or walking over to Production Purchasing Engineering or Supply Chain to figure out what is really happening.

If you naturally think in terms of priorities timing materials capacity and keeping production moving this could be a strong opportunity to take ownership of a critical part of the manufacturing operation.
