Position Summary
The Production Scheduler is the operational clock of our manufacturing facilities. This role transforms engineering blueprints and project milestones into master production schedules, allocating machine capacity, labor hours, and floor space across our Oakville fabrication sites. Operating as a critical partner to our newly established supply chain pod (Commodity Buyer, Procurement Expeditor, Logistics Coordinator), the Scheduler ensures that manufacturing runs like clockwork, sequencing orders based on material arrival data and installation deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
- Master Scheduling & Capacity Planning
- Build and maintain the Master Production Schedule (MPS) to balance machine capacity, material availability, and labor.
- Sequence fabrication orders logically across multi-site production facilities to maximize throughput and minimize tool changeover downtime.
- Monitor plant-floor progress daily, adjusting schedules dynamically to absorb engineering changes or machinery maintenance.
- Forecast long-term capacity constraints to help production leadership optimize staffing levels and overtime requirements.
Supply Chain Pod & Logistics Integration
- Align with the Procurement Expeditor daily to ensure material release dates and purchase order ETAs perfectly match the scheduled shop-floor kickoff dates.
- Feed real-time production timelines to the Logistics Coordinator so heavy-haul flatbeds, specialized carriers, and job-site rigging can be booked well in advance.
- Provide capacity feedback to the Commodity Buyer regarding material yield constraints or structural steel shapes that cause shop bottlenecks, influencing future vendor selections.
Scorecard Metrics Owned
- Schedule Attainment Rate (%) (Target: >95% adherence to the weekly plan)
- On-Time Manufacturing Release Rate (Releasing clean shop packets to the floor on time)
- Capacity Utilization Variance (Actual machine/labor hours vs. planned hours)
Qualifications and Experience
- Experience: Minimum 3–5 years of production scheduling or planning experience within heavy manufacturing, custom steel fabrication, or structural integration environments.
- Technical Mastery: Advanced proficiency in MRP/ERP manufacturing modules and advanced Excel capacity modeling.
- GWC Fit: Clearly demonstrates the EOS framework—Gets the complexity of custom scheduling, Wants to own plant-floor efficiency, and has the intellectual Capacity to solve rapid timing puzzles.
- Blueprints & Routing: Understanding of manufacturing routing, bill of materials (BOMs), welding/fabrication processes, and architectural/mechanical drawings.
- Communication: Exceptional communication and relationship skills to bridge the gap between engineering, shop floor teams, project managers and Supply Chain Pod under tight project constraints.
