Job Title: Production Planner / Scheduler - Precision Machining

Location: Adelaide, SA

Salary: Competitive salary package

Work Set-up: Full-time | On-site

About the Role:

This is not a clerical scheduling position. This role owns the flow of work through a multi-machine CNC production environment.

You will take full responsibility for production planning and scheduling across turning, milling, and finishing work centres in a high-mix, low-volume aerospace manufacturing setting. The focus is on ensuring work moves efficiently through the factory, bottlenecks are managed proactively, and on-time delivery performance is consistently achieved.

Key Responsibilities:

- Develop and maintain a finite production schedule across multiple CNC work centres
- Manage capacity vs demand and proactively identify production bottlenecks
- Release, prioritise, and sequence work to maintain solid on-time delivery (OTD) performance
- Monitor and manage WIP, adjusting schedules in real time based on constraints
- Collaborate closely with operations, quality, project teams, and leadership
- Improve planning accuracy, lead times, and overall production flow




- Drive continuous improvement in scheduling systems and production responsiveness
- Support decision-making that balances cost, efficiency, and customer commitments

Qualifications:

- Proven experience in production planning and scheduling within precision machining or advanced manufacturing involving CNC Milling and Lathe
- Strong understanding of CNC environments, routing, setup times, and machine capacity constraints
- Experience with ERP/MRP systems
- Ability to make decisions under pressure and take ownership of delivery outcomes
- Strong commercial awareness of how scheduling impacts cost, efficiency, and performance
- Aerospace, defence, or AS9100 environment experience highly desirable
- Strong communication skills and ability to work across multiple operational stakeholders

Perks and Benefits:

- Competitive hourly rate
- Supportive, encouraging, and inclusive team environment
- Modern, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility
- Strong Workplace Health & Safety focus
- Monthly team lunches
- Health and wellbeing initiatives
- Ongoing training and career development opportunities
- Opportunity to work on specialised Defence and Aerospace programs
