Job Overview

In Sidney, Ingersoll Rand operates a mission‑critical manufacturing and service environment where every schedule drives real production outcomes—and uptime is the expectation, not the goal. This is a fast‑moving, highly interconnected operation supporting industrial customers who depend on precision‑built components and compressed air solutions to keep their own production lines running. Nothing here is static—priorities shift, demand moves, and execution speed matters every single day. Step into the Production Planner role which is built for someone who doesn’t just manage a schedule—they think several steps ahead of it. You’re anticipating constraints before they become disruptions, protecting delivery commitments before they’re at risk, and actively shaping what the shop floor executes next. In a machine shop environment where timing, sequencing, and capacity all collide, your ability to see around corners is what keeps production stable and customers on time. This is not a reactive planning seat. It’s a high‑visibility role where strong planners bring structure to complexity—translating demand into executable plans, adjusting quickly when reality shifts, and ensuring work flows through the system without losing momentum. When the plan is right, everything downstream works. When it’s off, it’s immediately felt. Success here comes down to ownership, urgency, and clarity. The best planners operate with consistency and independence, communicate early when risks emerge, and take pride in keeping the system aligned without needing to be prompted. They’re comfortable working across functions, navigating competing priorities, and making sound decisions in real time when conditions change. If you’re energized by fast‑paced manufacturing environments where your planning decisions directly influence output, delivery performance, and customer trust—this is a role where your impact is visible every day.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with Production Planners and Material Planners to determine inventory levels that support firm sales orders and the customer promised delivery dates. Proactively discuss risks to production and plan accordingly.
• Monitor levels of purchased and manufactured parts to accurately and timely meet customer promised delivery dates.
• Monitor lead time and actively control variation that can cause a negative impact to our customers and ability to achieve the monthly plan.
• Perform SAP operations such as cutting production orders, printing sales shop copies, putting units to stock, issuing parts, and closing/settling work orders.
• Work directly with Material Planners regarding needs to create a plan that ensures customer promised delivery dates are protected.
• Work directly with other areas of business to ensure customer promised delivery dates are met and/or any needs of the customer are supported.
• Lead by example through active team participation and behaviors.
• Identify opportunities for improvement and develop solutions.
