Sr. Manufacturing Analyst/Production Scheduler

Job Description

A well-established industrial manufacturing company is hiring a Manufacturing Analyst / Production Scheduler to play a critical role in production execution, material planning, and ERP process development. This position is open due to increased production volume, growing operational complexity, and the implementation of a new ERP system (Genius ERP). This individual will serve as the bridge between production, materials, engineering, and operations, ensuring schedules are realistic, materials are available, and work flows efficiently through the shop. The environment is fast-paced and constantly changing, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving operational challenges and building processes. Approximately 50% of the role will focus on production scheduling, including creating and maintaining production schedules, balancing shop capacity, tracking work orders through fabrication and assembly processes, identifying bottlenecks, and coordinating priorities across departments. The remaining focus will be on materials planning, inventory analysis, reporting, and operational improvement initiatives. This role works directly with the Manufacturing Manager and senior leadership team, providing visibility into production performance and helping establish best practices as the company continues to scale. Candidates coming from startup, high-growth manufacturing, job-shop, steel fabrication, custom manufacturing, or ERP implementation environments will be especially successful. Exposure to Genius ERP is a plus but not required. This is a contract-to-hire position with long-term growth potential. The company has made significant investments in its new facility and promotes internally whenever possible.

This is a desk position that does not require any hands on or physical work.

• 3+ years of production scheduling experience in a manufacturing environment
• Experience working in a job shop, steel fabrication, metal manufacturing, or similar industrial setting
