Date: 3 hours ago

Contract type: Full time
About The Company

Our client is a manufacturer and solutions provider specializing in retail merchandising, store display systems, and in-store communication products.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end coordination of production scheduling and communication across Sales, Production, Purchasing, and Warehouse teams.
  • Develop, maintain, and adjust production schedules within the company’s ERP system based on customer demand, production capacity, material availability, and operational priorities.
  • Serve as the primary communication link between Sales and Warehouse, ensuring requests are properly assessed, prioritized, and communicated before reaching warehouse staff.
  • Filter incoming sales requests to determine what information and action the Warehouse and Production teams actually require, reducing unnecessary interruptions and helping teams stay on schedule.
  • Coordinate complex production requirements across multiple manufacturing streams, including standard extrusion and fully customized, made-to-order production.
  • Schedule products with numerous variations, including different sizes, colours, shapes, custom dyes, and other customer-specific requirements.
  • Coordinate multi-step production jobs involving internal manufacturing processes and external vendors, including outside printing suppliers.
  • Incorporate purchasing requirements, raw-material availability, supplier lead times, and incoming-material timing into production schedules.
  • Account for products and materials sourced internationally, including finished products from China and raw materials from suppliers worldwide.
  • Identify potential scheduling conflicts, material constraints, capacity issues, and production delays and communicate them proactively to the appropriate teams.
  • Balance competing priorities and make practical scheduling decisions without creating unnecessary delays or escalation.
  • Maintain clear, timely communication with employees across departments and at all levels of the organization.
  • Provide full scheduling coverage and act as backup for the existing Production Scheduler during vacations, absences, and other periods requiring additional support.
  • Become productive quickly and take ownership of day-to-day coordination with minimal disruption to existing operations.

Qualifications

  • Previous experience in production scheduling, master scheduling, production coordination, or a closely related role within a manufacturing environment.
  • Experience working in a manufacturing organization of comparable operational size and complexity; experience limited to very small or straightforward production environments may not provide sufficient exposure for this role.
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex production schedules involving multiple products, processes, dependencies, priorities, and lead times.
  • Hands-on experience scheduling production within an ERP system; candidates whose scheduling experience is primarily spreadsheet-based will not meet the requirements of the role.
  • Strong understanding of purchasing processes, raw-material planning, supplier lead times, and the impact of material availability on production schedules.
  • Experience coordinating manufacturing environments involving multiple production streams, customized products, outside vendors, or globally sourced materials is highly desirable.
  • Strong judgment and decision-making skills, with the ability to assess available information, establish priorities, and move work forward without unnecessary delays.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with employees from a wide range of professional, cultural, and educational backgrounds.
  • Approachable, collaborative, and team-oriented working style with the ability to build productive relationships with both long-tenured employees and newer team members.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment, manage competing demands, and communicate changes clearly across multiple departments.
  • Demonstrated ability to learn an operation quickly and contribute productively from the outset.
  • Manufacturing industry experience required; specific industry experience is not required, as relevant production scheduling experience is considered transferable.
  • Must be legally authorized to work in Canada on a permanent basis.
