Assistant Scheduler

ROLE:

You will help schedule our shop! Our order fulfillment process typically starts with sales orders coming in and jobs being created to satisfy them. Engineering will establish the initial schedule, but once the jobs hit the floor, often things need to be adjusted. That’s where you come in. You’ll help our Scheduling Manager finetune job schedules pulling them in or pushing them out, expediting jobs falling behind, and various other activities scheduling related to optimizing the flow. Expect to also spend time on the floor verifying the system matches reality and resolving hiccups. When it comes to scheduling a job shop, there are always hiccups.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Optimize job schedules within our ERP system using various tools, metrics, and reports designed to assist the process.
• Coordinate with other departments, most importantly Purchasing and Engineering.
• Perform other scheduling-related activities in our ERP system such as switching out work centers and splitting travelers.
• Help the floor get parts through and all that entails.

QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS REQUIRED:

• A deep understanding of job shops and/or contract manufacturers. Preferably related to metal fab.
• Strong at computers, ERP (we use JobBoss), and Excel.
• Strong teamwork, communication, and people skills.

ORGANIZATION’S VALUES AND CULTURE:
