Job summary

Voyager Technologies in Pueblo, CO is seeking a Production Planner to manage material requirements planning within the ERP/MRP system and ensure data accuracy for production decisions. You will release work orders, maintain data integrity, and support scheduling across the plant in a fast-paced environment.

The role requires 2–4 years of manufacturing planning experience, strong ERP/MRP skills (NetSuite preferred), and proficiency in Excel.

Qualifications

2–4 years of production planning, materials planning, or MRP execution experience in a manufacturing environment.
Hands-on experience operating within an ERP/MRP system — releasing work orders, managing open order exceptions, and maintaining planning data; NetSuite experience a plus.
Solid working knowledge of MRP concepts: BOM explosion, routing, lead time offsetting, safety stock, reorder points, and MRP exception management.
Strong attention to detail and data discipline — this role’s primary output is accurate information that others depend on.
Organized and systematic; able to manage a high volume of open work orders and planning transactions without losing accuracy.
Proficient in Microsoft Office, including Excel; experience building and maintaining planning reports from ERP data exports.

Responsibilities

Execute material requirements planning (MRP) runs within NetSuite — review system-generated suggestions, release work orders and purchase requisitions, and manage the planning horizon on a daily and weekly basis.
Own ERP/MRP data integrity for the planning function: BOMs, routings, item lead times, safety stock levels, reorder points, and planning parameters — identify errors, correct them, and prevent them from recurring.
Manage open work order status through the production lifecycle — from release through completion — ensuring work orders accurately reflect floor reality and that discrepancies between system and physical status are resolved promptly.
Maintain lot and batch traceability in production scheduling for energetics programs, including propellant grain manufacturing and batch mix operations, in compliance with AS9100 and production traveler requirements.
Translate the Master Scheduler’s program-level schedule into work order release timing, material availability requirements, and purchase requisition timing — the Planner executes what the Scheduler has set.
Identify material shortages and supply gaps visible in the MRP system; communicate these to the Production Expeditor for action and to the Master Scheduler if a schedule impact is likely.
Coordinate purchase requisition timing with the Buyer I to ensure procurement lead times align with work order start dates and production requirements.
Support ERP/MRP go-live readiness — data validation, item master cleansing, planning parameter setup, and testing of scheduling outputs before the system drives live production decisions.
Support the Production Expeditor with system-level information — delivery dates, open order quantities, inventory positions — when floor-level escalation requires system context.
Develop and maintain standard planning reports showing work order status, MRP exception messages, and material availability — the data layer that informs both the Scheduler and Expeditor.
