Standard Nuclear is fueling America’s nuclear renaissance at industrial scale. Our mission is to deliver the essential building blocks of nuclear power—enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world.
The Senior Production Planner is responsible for developing production schedules and building the planning framework needed to support Standard Nuclear’s growing manufacturing operations. This role translates project demand, engineering inputs, production constraints, material availability, and facility capacity into practical schedules that support execution across multiple facilities.
This is a hands-on planning role in a fast-growing manufacturing environment where production processes, capacity models, and planning systems are actively being developed. The Senior Production Planner will work closely with production, engineering, supply chain, quality, and project teams to gather inputs, identify bottlenecks, estimate throughput, and create schedules that reflect real operational capability.
The role requires strong manufacturing judgment, analytical ability, and comfort working in an environment where assumptions must be tested and refined as operations scale. This position is critical to improving schedule discipline, capacity visibility, and production readiness across the organization.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Production Planning & Scheduling
Develop and maintain production schedules based on project demand, production readiness, facility capacity, and material availability
Translate customer, project, and internal priorities into executable production plans
Build weekly and longer-range production schedules that account for equipment availability, labor, materials, quality requirements, and operational constraints
Monitor schedule performance and adjust plans as priorities, constraints, or production realities change
Communicate schedule changes, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to production, project, and leadership teams
Capacity & Throughput Analysis
Evaluate production capacity across facilities, equipment, labor, and process steps
Identify bottlenecks, constraints, and throughput limitations that impact production schedules
Develop and maintain practical capacity assumptions based on actual production performance and input from technical teams
Support leadership in understanding what work can realistically be completed based on current resources and constraints
Refine planning models as production processes mature and new data becomes available
Planning Framework Development
Help build the production planning structure, tools, and routines needed to support scalable manufacturing
Gather required inputs from engineering, production, quality, and supply chain to support schedule development
Support development of routings, process assumptions, lead times, work sequencing, and planning rules
Identify gaps in planning data, documentation, or process inputs and work with teams to close them
Help standardize production planning practices across facilities as operations grow
Cross-Functional Coordination
Work closely with production teams to understand current execution status, constraints, and shop-floor realities
Partner with engineering to understand process requirements, technical readiness, and changes that impact production plans
Coordinate with supply chain to account for material availability, BOM readiness, long-lead items, and procurement timelines
Work with quality to ensure inspection, documentation, and release requirements are reflected in production schedules
Support project teams by providing realistic schedule inputs, production status, and capacity feedback
Multi-Facility Planning
Support production planning across multiple Standard Nuclear facilities
Understand facility-specific capabilities, constraints, equipment availability, and readiness
Help determine where work should be performed based on capacity, capability, timing, and project needs
Coordinate handoffs and dependencies between facilities when work requires multiple production steps or locations
Maintain visibility into competing demands across facilities and support prioritization discussions
Systems, Data & Continuous Improvement
Maintain accurate planning data in scheduling, ERP/MRP, or related systems as they are developed
Use production data to improve planning assumptions, schedule accuracy, and capacity visibility
Develop reports, trackers, and planning tools to support decision-making
Identify opportunities to improve production flow, material readiness, schedule adherence, and planning discipline
Support implementation and improvement of planning systems as the company scales
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Operations Management, Engineering, Business, or a related field; equivalent experience will be considered
5–8 years of experience in production planning, production control, master scheduling, capacity planning, manufacturing operations, or supply chain planning
Experience developing production schedules in a manufacturing, industrial, technical, or regulated environment
Strong understanding of production flow, capacity planning, bottleneck analysis, routings, lead times, and material readiness
Experience working in environments where planning systems, BOMs, routings, or production processes are still being built or improved
Experience working with ERP/MRP, scheduling, or production planning systems
Strong Excel and data analysis skills; experience building planning tools, trackers, or capacity models preferred
Ability to gather inputs from engineering, production, supply chain, quality, and project teams and turn them into actionable plans
Strong communication skills and ability to explain schedule constraints, risks, and tradeoffs clearly
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing priorities in a changing production environment
Experience in nuclear, aerospace, defense, energy, chemical processing, advanced manufacturing, or other regulated manufacturing environments is a plus

Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
