What are the responsibilities and job description for the Production Planner position at Veteran Hiring Solutions?
If your a veteran who knows how to build a plan, adjust on the fly, and make sure the mission gets done—this role’s got your name on it.
Our client is looking for a Production Scheduler who can take charge of the daily production flow, keep inventory aligned with demand, and make sure every piece of the puzzle fits together—smoothly, efficiently, and on time at the York, PA plant. This plant is a critical link in the supply chain that fuels some of the most essential industries in the country, and you’ll be right at the center of it.
This isn’t about punching in and doing what you’re told. It’s about stepping up, taking ownership, and being the go-to person who keeps things moving. If you’ve led operations, managed logistics, or made real-time adjustments in high-pressure situations, you’re already built for this.

Experience managing schedules or operations in a fast-paced environment—ideally with some exposure to manufacturing or supply chains.
The confidence to make quick, informed decisions even when different departments are pulling in different directions.
Familiarity with ERP or MRP systems—SAP is a bonus, but any system you used in uniform will give you a leg up.
Solid Microsoft Office skills (especially Excel) and comfort working with data.
Clear communication and problem-solving skills—you know how to lead without the title and keep everyone on mission.
Benefits
Full benefits, paid time off, and 401(k)
