About the Job:
We’re on the lookout for a Production Scheduler to join our team in Pasadena! In this role, you’ll play a key part in keeping our plant running smoothly. You’ll schedule production, coordinate raw materials and packaging deliveries, and ensure everything aligns with customer needs and capacity plans. This is a hands-on role where you’ll collaborate with teams across sales, marketing, and supply chain while supporting a site dedicated to manufacturing organic peroxides.
In your future role as Production Scheduler, you will:
- Review demand forecasts, spot trends or changes, and collaborate with sales and marketing to make updates.
- Lead the monthly Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process, including production, inventory, and capacity plans.
- Create detailed schedules that meet customer demands, optimize capacity, and align with working capital guidelines.
- Coordinate raw material and packaging orders to match production schedules.
- Oversee stock transportation between sites using a “push planning” model.
- Provide detailed analysis of demand, supply, inventory, and capacity to support decision-making.
- Maintain and update SAP master data to keep production planning on track.
- Set and evaluate inventory targets regularly and when new SKUs are introduced.
- Support the team with other tasks and assignments as needed.
- A Bachelor’s Degree in Science, Engineering, Business, Operations Management, or Supply Chain (or equivalent experience).
- APICS CPIM certification or progress toward it (a big plus!).
- 3–10 years of experience in planning, customer service, sales, or operations.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Excel, and knowledge of SAP.
- Strong analytical and organizational skills.
- The ability to communicate effectively in English, both written and verbal.
- Comfort wearing safety gear (steel-toed shoes, safety glasses, hard hat) when visiting the plant.
You’ll be working at our Pasadena site, a hub for manufacturing organic peroxides used by some of the biggest names in thermoplastic resins. Our products are essential, but also require careful handling due to their hazardous nature.
