Job summary

Delva Tool & Machine is seeking a Planner to own master production scheduling for our two shifts across vertical mills, lathes, Swiss lathes, and Mazak 5-axis horizontals. You will learn our ERP and part mix, taking over day-to-day scheduling for the primary production department within the first 90 days.

You will build and maintain the master production schedule, analyze capacity vs load, and lead scheduling meetings with production leadership to ensure on-time deliveries.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of production planning or scheduling experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Hands-on ERP experience managing routing, work orders, and scheduling data (not just viewing screens).
• Proven ability to run or participate in capacity planning and schedule attainment meetings.
• High school diploma, GED, vocational certificate, associate's degree, or equivalent work experience.
• Clear written and verbal communication: you'll be presenting schedule status to production leadership regularly.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the master production schedule across work centers, departments, and outside processes, keeping expected completion dates accurate and visible to the team.
• Analyze capacity versus load, spot bottlenecks before they hit delivery, and recommend adjustments that keep jobs moving on time.
• Lead daily or weekly scheduling meetings with production leadership, covering status, risks, and recovery actions.
• Partner with Sales, Engineering, and Operations to fold in new orders, engineering changes, and expedite requests without losing control of the schedule.
• Keep routing, cycle time, and lead time data current in the ERP so the schedule reflects reality, not assumptions.
• Track on-time delivery, schedule attainment, and WIP turns, then drive root cause analysis when we miss and put corrective actions in place to prevent a repeat.
