ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Controls Engineering Planner to coordinate scheduling for our Controls Engineering team across both in-house and field projects.

• Process schedule changes and reschedules as they arise, including project delays, urgent requests, engineer availability changes, conflicts, and shifting priorities, and communicate updates promptly to affected project managers, engineers, and managers.
• Proactively flag scheduling risks (overlaps, gaps, overloaded engineers) and work with the Controls Engineering Manager to resolve them.
• Serve as the central point of contact for schedule status, fielding scheduling questions and requests from project managers and engineers.
• Develop a working knowledge of ASC equipment and service processes to effectively support the department.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel, including sorting, filtering, basic formulas, and maintaining structured data. Familiarity with MS Project and basic exposure to AutoCAD or schematics is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, follow-through, multitasking, and time-management skills, including the ability to investigate discrepancies while meeting deadlines.
• Clear and professional communication skills and the ability to work independently, follow established processes, protect confidential/customer information, and escalate issues appropriately.
• Comfortable working in an office within a heavy manufacturing environment and regularly interacting with engineers, technicians, production employees, and customers.
