Master Scheduler

A growing specialty manufacturer in Bloomington is seeking a Master Scheduler to take ownership of long-range production and capacity planning across a highly customized, engineer-to-order environment. This is not a role centered on maintaining a static schedule. Projects can remain active for 6-24 months, customer timelines can shift, outside-vendor capacity varies, and production priorities routinely need to be re-calibrated. The Master Scheduler will become the internal authority on what the organization can realistically produce and when. This is an opportunity to build a planning function rather than simply maintain one, with visibility into broader operations leadership as the business grows. Responsibilities Build and maintain the master production schedule across the full project portfolio Model capacity across internal work centers and outside manufacturing partners Identify constraints, critical paths, and schedule conflicts months before they affect delivery Re-sequence work and develop realistic alternatives as project requirements change Translate committed delivery dates into executable production and material plans Maintain scheduling data, routings, lead times, capacity assumptions, and related ERP inputs Partner with project management, purchasing, and operations to establish achievable commitments Desired Skills And Experience 5+ years of production planning or scheduling experience Background in make-to-order, engineer-to-order, custom fabrication, or similarly variable manufacturing Hands-on finite-capacity, constraint-based, or multi-resource planning experience Strong ERP/MRP, Excel, and analytical problem-solving skills Comfortable challenging assumptions and making decisions in an environment with ambiguity #J-18808-Ljbffr SkyWater Search Partners
