Senior Production Planner

Production Planning & Scheduling

• Develop and maintain production schedules based on project demand, production readiness, facility capacity, and material availability
• Translate customer, project, and internal priorities into executable production plans
• Build weekly and longer-range production schedules that account for equipment availability, labor, materials, quality requirements, and operational constraints
• Monitor schedule performance and adjust plans as priorities, constraints, or production realities change
• Communicate schedule changes, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to production, project, and leadership teams

Capacity & Throughput Analysis

• Evaluate production capacity across facilities, equipment, labor, and process steps
• Identify bottlenecks, constraints, and throughput limitations that impact production schedules
• Develop and maintain practical capacity assumptions based on actual production performance and input from technical teams
• Support leadership in understanding what work can realistically be completed based on current resources and constraints
• Refine planning models as production processes mature and new data becomes available

Planning Framework Development

• Help build the production planning structure, tools, and routines needed to support scalable manufacturing
• Gather required inputs from engineering, production, quality, and supply chain to support schedule development
• Support development of routings, process assumptions, lead times, work sequencing, and planning rules
• Identify gaps in planning data, documentation, or process inputs and work with teams to close them
• Help standardize production planning practices across facilities as operations grow

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with production teams to understand current execution status, constraints, and shop-floor realities
• Partner with engineering to understand process requirements, technical readiness, and changes that impact production plans
• Coordinate with supply chain to account for material availability, BOM readiness, long-lead items, and procurement timelines
• Work with quality to ensure inspection, documentation, and release requirements are reflected in production schedules
• Support project teams by providing realistic schedule inputs, production status, and capacity feedback

Multi-Facility Planning

• Support production planning across multiple Standard Nuclear facilities
• Understand facility-specific capabilities, constraints, equipment availability, and readiness
• Help determine where work should be performed based on capacity, capability, timing, and project needs
• Coordinate handoffs and dependencies between facilities when work requires multiple production steps or locations
• Maintain visibility into competing demands across facilities and support prioritization discussions

Systems, Data & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate planning data in scheduling, ERP/MRP, or related systems as they are developed
• Use production data to improve planning assumptions, schedule accuracy, and capacity visibility
• Develop reports, trackers, and planning tools to support decision-making
• Identify opportunities to improve production flow, material readiness, schedule adherence, and planning discipline
• Support implementation and improvement of planning systems as the company scales

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field; equivalent experience will be considered
• 5–8 years of experience in production planning, production control, master scheduling, capacity planning, manufacturing operations, or supply chain planning
• Experience developing production schedules in a manufacturing, industrial, technical, or regulated environment
• Strong understanding of production flow, capacity planning, bottleneck analysis, routings, lead times, and material readiness
• Experience working in environments where planning systems, BOMs, routings, or production processes are still being built or improved
• Experience working with ERP/MRP, scheduling, or production planning systems
• Strong Excel and data analysis skills; experience building planning tools, trackers, or capacity models preferred
• Ability to gather inputs from engineering, production, supply chain, quality, and project teams and turn them into actionable plans
• Strong communication skills and ability to explain schedule constraints, risks, and tradeoffs clearly
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing priorities in a changing production environment
• Experience in nuclear, aerospace, defense, energy, chemical processing, advanced manufacturing, or other regulated manufacturing environments is a plus
