  • Partner closely with operations, procurement, inventory, and logistics teams to ensure plans are practical, executable and aligned to shop floor conditions
  • Ensure materials, components, and inventory are available and staged to meet production schedules
  • Monitor production capacity, resource utilization, constraints, and bottlenecks to optimize flow
  • Proactively identify and resolve material shortages, capacity constraints, and scheduling risks
  • Track and report key performance indicators such as schedule adherence, throughput, first-pass quality, rework, downtime, material shortages, and labour efficiency
  • Support operational excellence, lean manufacturing, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Ensure strong data integrity and alignment across MES, ERP, inventory, and production planning systems
  • Support integration and alignment of MES with ERP, inventory, and production scheduling systems to enable end-to-end visibility
  • Perform other duties as assigned


What you bring
  • Post-secondary education in Engineering, Construction Management, Manufacturing Technology, Building Science, Architectural Technology, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in production planning, scheduling, or manufacturing operations
  • Demonstrated understanding of plant scheduling, capacity planning, production sequencing, and constraint management
  • Experience working with ERP, MES, scheduling, production tracking, or digital manufacturing systems
  • Strong experience managing material flow, inventory, and production coordination
  • Solid understanding of automated manufacturing processes, material flow, production line balancing, and equipment utilization
  • Proven track record of process optimization, continuous improvement, and cross-functional problem solving
  • Strong ability to partner across operations, procurement, inventory, and logistics teams
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, execution-focused environment and drive practical solutions


Bonus Points
  • Experience in panelized or modular construction, prefabrication, highly automated manufacturing environments, or robotics-enabled production systems.
  • Experience supporting plant start-up, equipment commissioning, production ramp-up, or new product introduction
  • Strong experience with MES/ERP systems, production scheduling tools, and digital manufacturing environments
