About The Position

The Master Scheduler will be responsible for planning and preparing production schedules for the manufacture of aerospace, defense, industrial, and commercial products. This role involves drawing up master schedules to establish the sequence and lead time of each operation to meet shipping dates based on sales forecasts or customer orders. The position requires analyzing production specifications, plant capacity, and performing calculations to determine manufacturing processes, tools, and human resource needs. The Master Scheduler will also schedule workflow for each department, plan fabrication and assembly sequences, and prepare reports on production goals.
