Position Summary

We are seeking a hands‑on Production Scheduler to support the development and execution of a new production scheduling process within our operations. This role will work directly with the Master Scheduler to build and sustain a scheduling system from the ground up, starting with manual and visual tools on the shop floor and evolving into a structured, system‑driven process over time. This is not a purely system‑based planning role; this position requires daily engagement with production, active participation on the shop floor, and the ability to translate plans into executable schedules in a dynamic environment.

Key Responsibilities

Shop Floor Scheduling and Execution

• Develop and maintain production schedules aligned to the master production plan
• Support execution of schedules on the shop floor using visual tools such as whiteboards and trackers
• Monitor real‑time production status and adjust schedules based on constraints, material availability, and changing priorities
• Communicate build plans clearly to production teams

Daily Cadence and Communication

• Participate in and support daily production stand‑ups
• Track and communicate schedule adherence, production issues, and priority changes
• Coordinate with production, materials, and program management teams

Process Development

• Assist in building a standardized scheduling process from the ground up
• Help design and improve visual scheduling systems, workflows, and escalation processes
• Support transition from manual processes to ERP and MRP systems

Performance and Continuous Improvement

• Track key metrics including on‑time delivery, schedule adherence, and production versus plan
• Identify gaps and drive improvements in flow and production stability
• Support lean and process improvement efforts

Coordination and Problem Solving

• Resolve scheduling conflicts related to capacity, materials, and priorities
• Escalate issues impacting production execution when needed
• Ensure alignment between planning and actual production conditions

Required Qualifications

• 3 to 7 years of experience in production scheduling, manufacturing planning, or operations support
• Experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably BTO/ETO
• Working knowledge of scheduling principles including capacity and sequencing
• Experience with ERP or MRP systems
• Strong Excel and data analysis skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with visual scheduling tools or manual production control systems
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles such as 5S and Kaizen
• Exposure to shop floor operations or supervisory roles
• Ability to work in fast‑paced and changing environments
