The Production Planner role is based onsite in Pueblo, CO and reports to the Materials & Production Planning Manager.

- Maintain lot and batch traceability in production scheduling for energetics programs (propellant grain manufacturing and batch mix operations) in compliance with AS9100 and production traveler requirements
- Translate the Master Scheduler's program-level schedule into work order release timing, material availability requirements, and purchase requisition timing
- Identify material shortages and supply gaps visible in the MRP system; communicate to the Production Expeditor and Master Scheduler as needed
- Coordinate purchase requisition timing with the Buyer I to align procurement lead times with work order start dates
- Support ERP/MRP go-live readiness including data validation, item master cleansing, planning parameter setup, and testing
- Provide system-level information to the Production Expeditor when floor-level escalation requires context
- Develop and maintain standard planning reports showing work order status, MRP exception messages, and material availability
