    Position Summary
     
    The Production Planner owns end-to-end schedule continuity for an assigned scope— tracking work by project or job and through every operation, surfacing risk early, and keeping priorities, parts, and promise dates aligned so the floor never has to guess what runs next. The planner is the single accountable owner for the health of every work order in that scope: created correctly, released only when it can run, tracked through every operation, cleared of obstacles before they become delays, and closed with accurate data. This is the execution seat and the control point for schedule changes: expedites are approved or declined here, against defined criteria. The role executes disciplined manual planning today while cleansing data, learning the system, and testing workflows to become one of the site’s enterprise ERP power users.
     
    Reports To: VP Production Planning & CI
    Work Location: 6401 North Eldridge Pkwy, Houston, TX 77041
     
    Position Responsibilities:
    • Plan and track assigned scope end-to-end: monitor work orders through every operation, maintain accurate status, and keep the schedule, visual management boards, and reporting aligned to one truth — working the ERP exception queue daily after go-live, rescheduling and releasing orders within defined rules.
    • Surface and escalate risk early: identify shortages, holds, and capacity conflicts before they break the schedule; drive resolution through the defined escalation process rather than informal expediting.
    • Manage nonconformance and rework flow for the modules, including replanning route and date when a unit is dispositioned, in partnership with quality and engineering
    • Work the planning exception queue daily, rescheduling, expediting, deferring, or cancelling with a documented reason, distinguishing exceptions caused by real events from those caused by bad data, and correcting the data at the source.
    • Own master data quality for assigned scope: validate item masters, bill-of-material lines, and routing steps against physical reality; correct errors at the source, keep lead times and planning parameters current, and flag systemic data issues for correction.
    • Maintain transaction discipline: ensure material issues, completions, and status updates for assigned scope are recorded accurately and on time, so system truth matches floor reality.
    • Own status communication: provide reliable status to operations, supply chain, and program stakeholders — replacing tribal-knowledge status with documented, system-based truth.
    • Support capacity analysis and the ERP implementation: capture actual durations and setup patterns for assigned work centers, execute planner-role test scripts, and help refine standard work for planning transactions.
    • Partner directly with production supervision, engineering, quality, and supply chain, aligning on priority and sequence within the published schedule and serving as the internal reference on the assigned modules.
    • Contribute to continuous improvement: participate in improvement events affecting planning and flow; help standardize and improve planner standard work.
    Required Qualifications
    • Education: High school diploma or GED required; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a related field preferred.
    • Experience: 2+ years in production planning, production control, or manufacturing coordination.
    • Technical: Strong Excel proficiency; comfort working from shop travelers, routings, and bills of material.
    • Working style: Organized, detail-driven, and calm under shifting priorities; strong cross-functional communication at the floor level; willingness to become a system power user.
    • Must be fluent in English, with strong speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension skills.
    • US work authorization is a precondition of employment. The company will not consider candidates who require sponsorship for a work-authorized visa.
    • Successful candidate will need to satisfactorily complete pre-employment drug screen and background check.
    Desired Qualifications 
    • Previous experience as a scheduler in a manufacturing or operations department
    • Working knowledge of Microsoft office applications: Word, Excel, and Outlook.
