Job description

Job Title: Production Planning Manager
Department: Operations
Reports To: Director of Operations
Status: Regular Full Time Position - Exempt/Salary

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Production Planning Manager to lead GrayWolf Modular's master scheduling and production planning function across a fast-moving engineered-to-order manufacturing environment. This role will translate backlog, engineering release, material availability, labor capacity, and customer commitments into a controlled factory execution plan. The Production Planning Manager will create the planning discipline that aligns engineering, supply chain, warehouse, production, and project teams around one visible operating plan.

Core Responsibilities:

• Own the master production schedule and planning rhythm that turns booked work into realistic factory execution.

• Translate customer commitments, engineering release dates, long-lead buys, and labor capacity into a visible and controlled plan.

• Drive work-order release, shortage management, kitting readiness, and sequencing discipline across the factory.

• Build planning dashboards and KPIs around schedule adherence, open shortages, WIP age, constraint visibility, and output forecast.

• Lead recovery planning when material, engineering, or labor issues threaten key milestones.

• Partner tightly with warehouse, supply chain, production, and project management so priorities stay aligned.

• Improve MRP / ERP transaction discipline that supports clean planning signals and realistic promise dates.

• Support continuous improvement of GrayWolf's overall planning, production-control, and execution system.

Qualifications:

I. Work Experience

Required

• 8+ years of production planning, master scheduling, production control, or materials-planning leadership experience in manufacturing, modular construction, or engineered-to-order environments.

• Hands-on success translating backlog, engineering release, material availability, and labor constraints into executable factory schedules.

II. Skills & Competencies

Required

• Strong MRP / ERP discipline with experience driving work-order release, shortage visibility, and schedule recovery planning.

• Ability to align engineering, supply chain, warehouse, and production around one operating plan.

Preferred

• Experience with modular data center products, power equipment, cooling systems, skids, or other high-mix industrial assemblies.

• Lean or continuous-improvement mindset.

III. Education

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field preferred.

• APICS / CPIM or equivalent planning credential is a plus.

IV. Software & Technology

Required

• Proficiency with ERP / MRP systems, Excel, dashboard reporting tools, and planning systems; experience with Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project is a plus.

V. Work Environment

Work is performed across office and manufacturing environments with regular interaction with planning, warehouse, and production teams. This role requires plant-floor presence and periodic participation in customer or supplier schedule discussions as needed.


Reasonable accommodations will be made upon request for those who have disabilities that qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
