Role OverviewWe’re hiring a Production Planner to join our advanced manufacturing operation in the Chattanooga–Cleveland area. This role sits at the center of production and is responsible for turning customer demand, material availability, equipment capacity, labor availability, and operational priorities into schedules the manufacturing team can actually execute.
What You Will Do
You’ll own production planning across batch-oriented and job-shop operations, including raw-material preparation, processing, manufacturing, testing, packaging, warehousing, and shipping. You’ll also manage material requirements, inventory planning, ERP/MRP data, and day-to-day coordination with Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, Maintenance, Procurement, and Commercial teams.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This is not a desk-only planning position. You’ll regularly work directly with supervisors and production teams on the manufacturing floor to understand constraints, adjust priorities, and keep customer commitments on track. You’ll have the opportunity to help build the planning systems, inventory controls, and operating processes needed for higher-volume production.
Requirements
- 3–5 years manufacturing planning or scheduling experience
- Experience managing production schedules and material availability
- Working knowledge of MRP and production planning
- Experience with manufacturing ERP/MRP systems
- Understanding of inventory and capacity planning
- Comfortable working regularly on the manufacturing floor
Benefits
