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.
