Production Planning and Scheduling Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• The integrated master plan and integrated master schedule for module production, horizontally and vertically integrated across engineering, material, manufacturing, and quality.
• Critical path and network logic: find the conflicts, resolve them, and tell the program what just moved and why.
• Shop load and dispatch: what gets worked today, against real material availability, qualified labor, and open nonconformances.
• Schedule adherence and earned value: measure plan against actual, then feed the variance back into the plan.
• Re-baselining when the program changes, with the risk analysis to support it.

Job requirements

• 4+ years in production planning, production control, or master scheduling in shipbuilding, aerospace, or heavy manufacturing.
• Program-level planning experience: demonstrated ability to build and manage integrated schedules for complex manufacturing or defense programs.
• You have built and maintained a real integrated schedule against a real build and held the critical path when material and labor both moved.
• Familiarity with controlled production environments (defense, aerospace, automotive, or similar).
• Fluency with a scheduling toolset (P6, MS Project, Open Plan, Aurora) and with an ERP/MES (Forge, Odoo, SAP, Solumina, Oracle).
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• No degree required. Apprenticeship, Navy Nuclear Power School, military experience, or a trade path to planning all count.
