About G3 Aerospace

G3 Aerospace is a fast-growing aerospace engineering and manufacturing company specializing in aircraft interior vacuum form components and assemblies. We support leading aerospace customers with precision manufacturing in a high-mix, low-volume environment and operate Fulcrum as our core MRP system.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Planner / Scheduler to own and drive production planning across our manufacturing operation. This role is responsible for translating customer demand into executable production schedules — balancing capacity, material availability, and shop priorities to ensure on-time delivery.

This position serves as the central coordination point between manufacturing, engineering, quality, and purchasing. While purchasing support is part of the role, the primary focus is planning, scheduling, and execution control.

Key Responsibilities

Production Planning & Scheduling

• Develop, maintain, and continuously adjust production schedules based on customer demand, capacity, material availability, and priorities
• Release and manage work orders and job travelers through Fulcrum MRP
• Sequence jobs across work centers to optimize flow and minimize bottlenecks
• Monitor schedule adherence and proactively address late or at-risk jobs
• Perform capacity planning and workload balancing across departments
• Identify constraints and coordinate solutions with operations and leadership

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with manufacturing supervisors to align schedules with real-time shop conditions
• Coordinate with engineering on BOM accuracy, routing updates, and ECO impacts
• Partner with quality to ensure inspection and release timing supports production flow
• Communicate priorities, changes, and risks clearly to all stakeholders

Materials Planning & Purchasing Support

• Forecast material requirements based on production schedules and BOMs
• Identify material shortages and trigger purchasing actions
• Issue and track purchase orders as needed to support production
• Follow up with suppliers on lead times and delivery commitments
• Maintain planning parameters such as lead times, lot sizes, and safety stock

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Generate and maintain reports on:
  • Open work orders
  • Late jobs
  • Capacity utilization
  • Material shortages
• Support process improvements in planning, scheduling, and MRP utilization
• Help refine planning workflows to support company growth and scalability

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years experience in production planning, scheduling, or manufacturing operations
• Experience working in a manufacturing environment (aerospace strongly preferred)
• Strong understanding of:
  • Work orders and job travelers
  • BOMs and routings
  • Lead times and capacity planning
  • High-mix, low-volume production
• Experience using an MRP system (Fulcrum highly preferred)
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an AS9100-certified manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with aerospace interiors, composites, plastics, or machined components
• Experience coordinating across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain
• Strong Excel skills for analysis and reporting

What We’re Looking For

• A planner who understands that schedules must reflect reality on the shop floor
• Someone who communicates clearly and proactively when priorities change
• A problem-solver who anticipates issues instead of reacting to them
• Comfortable working between systems, people, and processes

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and benefits
• A collaborative, hands-on operations environment
• Opportunities for growth as the company scales
• Direct impact on delivery performance and operational success
• A key role in a growing aerospace manufacturing organization
