About The Position

Hussey Copper, a Pantheon Electric company, is seeking an experienced Senior Planner/Scheduler to join its Production Control team at the Leetsdale facility. The role plans and coordinates casting, rolling, annealing, and other production operations while managing the raw material plans that support them. The Senior Planner/Scheduler develops casting charge plans, establishes efficient production sequences, and balances customer delivery requirements with alloy specifications, material availability, and equipment capacity. The position works closely with production supervisors, operations teams, and Inventory Control to maintain accurate schedules and material information. It also supports capacity planning, lead-time reviews, schedule-attainment improvement, and cross-training across manufacturing processes. The role provides guidance to Planner/Scheduler I and II team members and promotes workplace safety, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance. This full-time, on-site position operates in an active industrial manufacturing environment. Work may involve moving mechanical equipment, varying temperatures, elevated noise levels, and ongoing production activities. Regular communication, walking, sitting, and use of hands are required; occasional standing, reaching, and lifting or moving up to 25 pounds may be required.

Requirements

3–5+ years of production planning or scheduling experience in a metals mill, foundry, or casting operation.
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, production scheduling, and material requirements planning.
Ability to coordinate multiple production schedules while balancing equipment capacity, inventory, and customer delivery commitments.
Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate with production supervisors, operations teams, and inventory personnel.
Ability to respond quickly to production changes while maintaining scheduling accuracy.
Commitment to workplace safety, environmental sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Business, or a related field preferred; an associate's degree combined with strong metals mill experience will also be considered.
Regular communication, walking, sitting, and use of hands; occasional standing, reaching, and lifting or moving up to 25 pounds may be required.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on casting charge planning or melt planning experience is strongly preferred.
Knowledge of copper and alloy chemistry limits, charge makeup, scrap blending, and cast-to-roll production sequencing.
Understanding of annealing cycle times, Leetsdale production requirements, yield improvement, and scrap reduction.
Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems, including production orders, inventory transactions, routings, bills of materials (BOMs), and material planning outputs.
Experience with finite scheduling, production campaign optimization, changeover reduction, and material requirements planning.
Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and scheduling tools.
Ability to maintain accurate charge plans, material reconciliations, and production schedules.
Willingness to cross-train and provide scheduling support across multiple manufacturing processes.
Lean Six Sigma Yellow or Green Belt certification, or willingness to obtain certification within two years.
APICS or similar supply chain certification is a plus but is not required.

Responsibilities

Build, publish, and distribute production schedules for casting (F1), M1/SC15, rolling, annealing, and other manufacturing operations at the Leetsdale plant.
Develop daily casting charge plans, including charge makeup and scrap blending within established alloy chemistry limits.
Sequence production campaigns by alloy and gauge to minimize changeovers and protect customer shipping dates.
Plan raw material requirements, including cathode, scrap, and alloy additions, using Material Requirements Planning (MRP) outputs.
Adjust production schedules in response to equipment downtime and other operational disruptions while maintaining customer delivery commitments.
Coordinate daily with casting and rolling supervisors and communicate schedule changes clearly and promptly.
Provide accurate and timely charge information to Inventory Control to support material consumption transactions.
Participate in daily production planning meetings and support capacity planning and lead-time reviews.
Track and report production schedule attainment, identify scheduling gaps, and drive corrective actions when production targets are missed.
Maintain accurate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) master data for assigned production work centers.
Serve as backup for finishing and Tape Loop schedules, participate in cross-training, and perform additional duties as assigned.
Provide guidance to Planner/Scheduler I and II team members.
Promote workplace safety, environmental responsibility, and compliance with company policies and regulatory requirements.
