A bit about us:

Join a highly respected custom metal fabrication manufacturer that has been delivering award-winning architectural and commercial projects for more than 50 years.

The organization is currently entering a major growth phase, including facility expansion, increased production capacity, and continued investment in operations. As production volume continues to grow, they are seeking a Production Scheduler who can take ownership of the manufacturing schedule and play a critical role in ensuring customer commitments are met.

Why join us?

Direct-hire position
Unmatched culture and work-life balance

Job Details

This is a highly visible position that works directly with operations leadership, production, purchasing, and sales. If you enjoy solving problems, balancing priorities, and keeping a complex manufacturing environment running efficiently, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact while joining a team known for its strong culture, collaborative environment, and healthy work-life balance.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Join a company investing heavily in growth, equipment, and facility expansion
Direct exposure to leadership and the ability to influence operations
Stable, established business with a strong reputation in manufacturing
Collaborative culture where employees are valued and supported
Excellent work-life balance with realistic expectations and a team-oriented environment
Opportunity to take ownership of a critical function rather than being a small piece of a large organization

What You'll Be Doing

Own and maintain the master production schedule across multiple manufacturing processes, balancing capacity, materials, labor, and customer delivery requirements
Convert customer orders and sales forecasts into actionable daily and weekly production plans
Coordinate closely with purchasing to ensure raw materials and components are available when needed
Monitor production progress and adjust schedules in real time to address delays, quality holds, material shortages, or changing priorities
Identify bottlenecks before they impact customer deliveries and communicate solutions proactively
Maintain accurate ERP data, including work orders, inventory status, production progress, and job completion updates
Prepare and analyze scheduling metrics, including on-time delivery performance and schedule adherence
Partner with sales and operations teams to establish realistic lead times and manage priority orders
Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to improve planning accuracy, scheduling efficiency, and workflow execution

What We're Looking For

3-5 years of Production Scheduling, Production Planning, or Manufacturing Planning experience
Experience working within a manufacturing environment with multiple production processes and competing priorities
Strong ERP/MRP experience (Epicor, Global Shop Solutions, SYSPRO, Fulcrum, or similar systems preferred)
Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel and reporting tools
Ability to interpret work orders, bills of material (BOMs), routings, and production workflows
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage numerous active jobs simultaneously
Effective communicator who can work across operations, purchasing, sales, and production teams
Analytical mindset with the ability to identify trends, constraints, and opportunities for improvement

Preferred Experience

Custom manufacturing, job shop, or make-to-order production environments
Metal fabrication, foundry, casting, machining, welding, or other heavy manufacturing operations
APICS CPIM certification or similar planning/supply chain training
Experience with capacity planning, finite scheduling, constraint management, and production optimization
