About The Position

Master Production Scheduler Build the plan. Drive execution. Keep production and material flow aligned from start to finish. Electrex Inc. is seeking a Master Production Scheduler to own the development, execution, and ongoing optimization of the Master Production Schedule (MPS) supporting our U.S. and Mexico operations. This role manages production scheduling end-to-end — from demand translation and capacity alignment through material availability, production sequencing, warehouse coordination, and final shipment. You’ll oversee schedule integration across three production sites and three warehouse/distribution locations across the U.S. and Mexico, ensuring seamless handoffs between planning, procurement, production, logistics, and customer delivery. Success in this role means products are built and delivered on time, with clarity and alignment across all teams involved. If you excel at converting customer demand into a precise and executable plan — and you thrive where accuracy, communication, and disciplined scheduling drive performance — this role could be your next move.
