Production Scheduler
Craftmasters Laser and FabricationJob Overview Craftmasters Laser & Fabrication is looking for a Production Scheduler to own the daily execution of our production schedule. This is a detail-heavy, fast-moving role - you'll be evaluating jobs against real station capacity, managing job readiness before release, distributing work to shop leads and keeping the floor informed when things shift. What You'll Do Validate and adjust ERP-scheduled dates against actual station capacity - understand that ERP auto-scheduling is a starting point, not the answer. Monitor jobs approaching their start dates and confirm all inputs are ready before release: programming complete, on-hand material, accuracy of paperwork. Print and verify traveler packets; release jobs to the floor on validated dates only. Build and distribute daily station schedules to shop leads. You'll need to communicate directly - you won't rely on leads pulling from the system. Track floor progress against the schedule daily; identify jobs running behind, flag blockers, and escalate early. Maintain visibility on the rolling 2-4 week capacity horizon and escalate delivery risks to Operations and Sales before they become crises. Qualifications - What We're Looking For Attention to Detail - this role lives and dies on accuracy. You catch what others miss and you follow through. ERP Proficiency - comfortable working in a job-based ERP system and tracking data across multiple jobs simultaneously. Clear Communicator - Shop leads need to hear from you directly when something changes. Written communication is preferred - changes that aren't documented didn't happen. Manufacturing Experience - production scheduling, manufacturing coordination, or fabrication background preferred. Light industrial or metal fab experience is a plus . Proactive Mindset - Station schedules should be built and communicated before the floor asks. If you're reactive by default, this role will be hard. Growth Orientation - this role has a defined path toward broader operational responsibility for the right person. We're looking for someone interested in growing with it.
