• Coordinate planning activities across departments such as Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, Quality, and Supply Chain.
• Monitor progress vs. plan and update schedules based on lead times, capacity constraints, engineering changes, and supplier performance.
• Create and maintain planning documentation, including master schedules, work order plans, and tracking dashboards.
• Analyze constraints and risks (materials availability, bottlenecks, tooling readiness, labor capacity) and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Support demand/supply planning by forecasting workload and aligning resources to program requirements.
• Ensure planning aligns with requirements and compliance standards, including aerospace/aviation quality and documentation practices (e.g., controlled processes, traceability).
• Communicate schedule impacts to stakeholders and support expediting activities when deadlines are at risk.

• Proficiency in Excel (formulas, pivot tables, forecasting/analytics) and ability to work with reporting tools.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally.

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, Aviation Management, or a related field; or equivalent combination of education and planning/scheduling experience.

Nice to Haves
