About This Role

The Production Planner is responsible for ensuring the production schedule is both achievable and executed across Crusoe's manufacturing footprint. In this role, you will convert the reconciled Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) plan into a real, capacity-constrained Master Production Schedule (MPS) and drive it through to floor executionoperating either at the network level (cross-site MPS, time fences, master scheduling) or across a specific site cluster.

Serving as the operational architect of manufacturing cadence, this role sits at the intersection of demand, capacity, and floor execution. The ideal candidate brings a strong grasp of MPS logic, enforces schedule discipline through planning time fences, and provides independent, data-driven capacity insights to protect production timelines across single or multi-site operations. This is a Full-Time position.

What You'll Be Working On

• Master Production Scheduling: Convert the reconciled S&OP plan into a time-phased MPS by SKU, site, and work center.
• Capacity Planning & Feasibility: Assess and represent true capacity feasibility (lines, shifts, work centers) during S&OP supply and capacity reviews.
• Time Fence Governance: Set and enforce planning time fences (Frozen / Firm / Free) consistently, maintaining a clear approval process for schedule exceptions.
• Multi-Site Handoff Tracking: For network-scoped assignments, track inter-site handoff timing for dependent site pairs (e.g., Arvada fabrication output feeding Brighton assembly) to ensure cross-site alignment.
• Site Target Translation: For cluster-scoped assignments, translate network MPS into site-level targets, overseeing Site Schedulers who release work orders and manage floor sequencing.
• Schedule Adherence & Root Cause Analysis: Track schedule adherence (planned vs. actual by work order), logging deviations and feeding root-cause analysis back into the S&OP cycle.
• S&OP Forum Representation: Deliver credible capacity assessments, inter-site constraint views, and schedule adherence metrics in monthly S&OP reconciliations.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• Experience: 35+ years of dedicated experience in production planning, detailed scheduling, or master scheduling within a manufacturing environment.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• System & Technical Knowledge: Solid working knowledge of MPS/MRP logic, finite capacity planning, and ERP scheduling modules (e.g., Acumatica or similar systems).
• Cross-Functional Communication: Comfort presenting capacity constraints, trade-offs, and adherence metrics in cross-functional forums and leadership reviews.

Bonus Points

• APICS / ASCM certification, such as CPIM (Certified in Planning and Inventory Management).
• Prior experience in multi-site or network-level production planning across dependent manufacturing facilities.
• Hands-on experience using Acumatica ERP.
• Background in high-tech manufacturing, modular data center production, or complex assembly environments.
