Production Planning Analyst

Full-time • Production Planning

Emmerson Packaging is a third-generation, family-owned company and an industry leader in flexible packaging solutions — and we love what we do. We hold ourselves to the highest quality standards in everything we take on, including the talented people we add to our team. That commitment has earned us a place among Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 17 years running.

We’re growing our production planning team and looking for an experienced, driven planner who’s ready to take ownership, solve real problems, and make a visible impact on how we run.

Our Values Say It Best

We enhance our lives by helping others succeed
We care about our clients, each other, and our communities
We are responsible for the outcome of our actions
We strive to do the right thing, even if it costs us

About the Role

As a Production Planning Analyst, you own the production schedule and the master data that keep our flexible packaging operation moving. You’re the link between sales, operations, and supply chain — turning customer commitments into realistic, optimized plans, digging into the data behind capacity and inventory, and solving the day-to-day challenges that stand between a job order and on-time delivery.

You’ll maintain the master data our entire operation relies on, lead the planning conversations that keep everyone aligned, and continually look for ways to do things better. This is a role for a confident, outgoing problem-solver who wants their decisions to count.

What You’ll Do

Own, build, and optimize the production schedule across all Emmerson Packaging equipment using SAP
Plan cost-center utilization to drive maximum productivity and throughput
Identify, recommend, and champion continuous improvement opportunities across the planning process
Ensure inventory and WIP targets are consistently met
Set and confidently communicate job order completion dates
Partner with internal departments to align on all planning activities
Coordinate the availability of artwork, plates, and film
Anticipate, resolve, and communicate scheduling and resource conflicts before they become bottlenecks
Lead and contribute to regular production planning and coordination meetings
Plan equipment downtime in coordination with maintenance
Create and maintain accurate materials and master data in SAP
Ensure accurate shop floor papers for Operations
Build and run reports on master data accuracy, capacity, inventory status, and other operational needs

What You Bring

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the confidence to make decisions and own the outcome
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — you’re comfortable collaborating across teams
A proactive, outgoing approach and a genuine drive to contribute
A solid understanding of lean manufacturing and process planning
Strong mechanical aptitude
Proven expertise with flexible packaging technology
Sharp attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
Strong time-management and organizational skills, with the ability to juggle competing priorities effectively
Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel

Requirements

3+ years of experience in a production planning or scheduling role within a manufacturing environment
Hands-on experience with an ERP system (SAP strongly preferred)
Post-secondary education, or an equivalent combination of education and experience

Preferred

Business degree or Mechanical Engineering Technology diploma
Knowledge of flexographic print production equipment
Experience in flexible packaging or a related manufacturing industry

What’s In It For YOU?

Competitive wages
Comprehensive health and dental benefits
Defined contribution pension plan
Profit Sharing program
Training and development support
On-site gym and cafeteria
Being part of an awesome team
