Description

At Clemens Food Group, we don't just produce food—we create solutions. With over 100 years of industry leadership, we're a company built on integrity, innovation, and continuous improvement. As a Production Scheduler, you'll gain high visibility across the business, work with leadership teams, and have a clear path for career progression.

Real Impact: Your work keeps the plant running—without you, production stops. Growth & Stability: A strong company foundation, with opportunities to move into Supply Chain, Sales, or Leadership. Fast-Paced Problem-Solving: No two days are the same—expect challenges that require quick thinking and adaptability. Collaboration & Leadership Exposure: Work across Operations, Sales, Warehousing, and Quality Assurance to optimize scheduling.

Without a smart, efficient production schedule, the plant cannot run—you are the backbone of operations. In this role, you will:

• Align production with customer demand, inventory levels, and operational capacity.
• Solve scheduling challenges in real-time—adjusting for delays, inventory constraints, and production shifts.
• Use data-driven insights to monitor trends, improve scheduling accuracy, and reduce inefficiencies.
• Collaborate with key teams (Operations, Sales, Warehousing, and Customer Service) to align priorities and ensure execution.

What You'll Do

• Develop & release daily production schedules while optimizing efficiency.
• Monitor and adjust schedules to keep operations on track.
• Conduct root cause analysis on service levels, schedule attainment, and inventory issues.
• Use SAP & Excel to track performance, optimize workflows, and drive improvements.
• Take ownership of your area, making strategic adjustments to drive efficiency.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is detail-oriented, proactive, and thrives under pressure.

Skills & Mindset:

Must-Have:

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Operations Management, or a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
• Strong problem-solving skills—you can pivot when plans don't go as expected.
• Ability to navigate SAP (or similar ERP systems) & Excel.
• Excellent communication & collaboration skills—you'll work across multiple departments.
• High sense of urgency & adaptability—this is a high-impact, high-visibility role.

Nice-to-Have:

• Prior experience in fresh meat processing/scheduling.
• Knowledge of material resource planning & order management processes.
• A passion for continuous improvement and strategic thinking.

We welcome candidates who are early in their careers and eager to grow in a fast-paced production environment. If you have a strong analytical mindset, problem-solving skills, and a willingness to learn, we encourage you to apply.
