Planner II

Leonardo DRS
Melbourne, FL
Job Description
Role Overview

As a Planner II, you'll take ownership of a critical slice of the manufacturing plan, standing up the manufacturing orders (MOs) that follow, and staying in daily contact with the shop floor to keep MO aging under control so every order lands on time. You'll sequence jobs against the Master Production Schedule, align resources across a shifting workload, and give planning, manufacturing, and program leadership real visibility into what's on track and what's at risk.

What You Will Do

Drive daily communication with manufacturing to monitor and manage MO aging, maintain manufacturing build plans, perform cycle counts, and review the schedule to ensure raw materials are available when needed.

Why It Might Be a Fit
