Who We Are

Our work is held to tight tolerances, and the customers who pick us pick us because we hit them. The people on our floor take that seriously. We are looking for someone who will take it just as seriously.
Our schedule lives and dies on accurate data from the floor, and the scheduler is the person who turns that data into a plan the shop can actually run.
The Role
You build and maintain the production schedule that keeps jobs moving through the shop on time. You work from open sales orders, work order status, and machine and labor capacity to sequence jobs, release work to the floor, and adjust the plan when priorities shift. You're in NetSuite daily, and you're on the floor daily, because the schedule only works if it matches reality.
Honest truth: the schedule changes every day, and some days it changes every hour. A machine goes down, a customer moves up a due date, material shows up late — and you have to re-sequence the plan and communicate it clearly, without losing your patience or losing track of what's late. If you need a static plan that doesn't move, this is not the right seat.
What You’ll Do
Schedule Building and Maintenance
· Build and update the production schedule from open sales orders and work order status.
· Sequence jobs against machine and labor capacity to hit customer due dates.
· Release work orders to the floor in priority order.
· Adjust the schedule daily as priorities, material, and machine availability change.
Data and System Accuracy
· Keep work order status, quantities, and dates current in NetSuite.
· Flag and correct data errors that would throw off the plan.
· Track past due and at-risk jobs and escalate before they slip further.
Floor Communication
· Walk the floor daily to confirm job status against the system.
· Communicate schedule changes and priorities clearly to supervisors and operators.
· Coordinate with purchasing and quality on material holds and inspection delays that affect the plan.
Reporting and Follow-Through
· Report past due jobs, schedule risk, and shipment expectations to leadership.
· Follow up on outside service and late-item issues that affect the schedule.
· Support month-end and week-end pushes to close out jobs and hit revenue targets.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves
· 1 years of scheduling, planning, or production control experience in a manufacturing environment.
· Comfortable reading Job Travelers well enough to understand job requirements.
· Working knowledge of an ERP or MRP system (NetSuite experience a plus).
· Strong Excel skills — you can build and read a spreadsheet without help.
· Clear, direct communicator who can hold the line on priorities under pressure.
Nice-to-Haves
· Experience scheduling in a CNC machining or job-shop environment.
· NetSuite experience specifically.
· Background in purchasing, planning, or manufacturing engineering.
You’ll Thrive Here If You
· You dig in and re-sequence the whole day's plan without complaint when a machine goes down an hour before shift change.
· You tell a supervisor straight when their job is slipping, and you take it just as straight when the floor tells you the plan is wrong.
· You stay level when three customers all move up their due date on the same afternoon, and you find a plan that works anyway.
· You chase down the late material or the missing traveler instead of waiting for someone else to notice.
Why World Class Manufacturing and Our Core Values
Why World Class Manufacturing
· A real seat at the table — the schedule you build is the plan the whole floor runs on.
· A 30 year track record making precision components for OEMs and tier-one suppliers.

· A team that takes precision seriously. The people on the floor want the work to be right.
Our Core Values
· Grit. You find a way when others see a dead end. You embrace hard things and don’t give up.
· Humbly Confident. You give honest feedback, operate without ego, and know your stuff.
· Positive. You bring energy, stay solution-oriented, and make the best of everything.
· Hungry. You pursue exceptionalism, walk with purpose, and choose discipline over comfort.
