Production Planner About the Opportunity We are an established veal processing company seeking a highly organized, analytical, and results-driven Production Planner to join our operations team. This is a critical role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, takes initiative, and understands the importance of urgency, accuracy, and follow-through. The ideal candidate doesn't wait for problems to escalate. They anticipate challenges, identify solutions, and work closely with operations teams to keep production running efficiently. What You'll Do Develop and manage daily and weekly production schedules based on customer demand, inventory, and production capacity. Monitor production progress and proactively address scheduling conflicts, material shortages, and delays.

Identify bottlenecks, communicate concerns, and drive timely resolution of issues. Track key production metrics and provide accurate, actionable reporting.

Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, identify trends, and make sound decisions. A strong sense of urgency and personal accountability.

Strong Excel skills and experience working with ERP or production planning systems. Effective communication skills and confidence working across departments. Experience in food manufacturing or meat processing preferred. What Will Make You Successful You recognize problems early and take action. You use data to make decisions, not assumptions. You follow through and hold yourself accountable for results. You can balance planning ahead with responding quickly to changing priorities. You communicate clearly and keep others informed. You are comfortable challenging the status quo and identifying better ways to work. Why Join Us? We are a long-established, family-owned business with an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our operations.
