PRODUCTION PLANNER  

Location: Ogden, UT  

Reports to: Director of Operations 

Compensation: $75,000 - $95,000 

Company Overview 

We are a specialized mechanical contractor focused on the design, engineering, fabrication, and integrated delivery of process piping solutions. We serve clients across the water, power, energy, and industrial markets, offering a full-service model that spans estimating, engineering, project management, and shop fabrication. We are recognized as an innovative partner for complex infrastructure projects, with a track record of delivering large-scale outcomes for public and industrial clients across the country. 

Your Role: 

The Production Planner develops and manages integrated production and engineering plans that optimize resource utilization, meet customer demand, and support operational efficiency. This role is the central point of alignment across production, engineering, supply chain, and outsourced manufacturing. 

What You’ll Do: 

• Production Scheduling: Own the production plan, keeping labor, equipment, materials, and outside processing in balance and adjusting in real time when conditions shift. 
• Engineering Coordination: Manage engineering workload and resource allocation to stay ahead of production needs, and remove bottlenecks that slow drawings or work instructions from hitting the floor. 
• Cross-Team Alignment: Act as the connective layer between production, engineering, purchasing, and external partners, so nothing falls through the cracks between functions. 
• Capacity Management: Continuously read demand against available capacity and make practical recommendations on sequencing, staffing, or outsourcing to protect delivery commitments. 
• Process Improvement: Monitor execution against the plan, close gaps quickly, and build toward more structured, visible planning processes across the operation. 

What You’ll Bring: 

• Background: Planning, scheduling, or supply chain experience in a manufacturing setting, with metal fabrication experience strongly preferred. 
• Technical Knowledge: Working understanding of capacity planning, material flow, and how engineering and production interact in a fabrication environment. 
• Systems Proficiency: Comfort with ERP/MRP tools and the ability to work across disconnected systems to get the information needed to make good decisions. 
• Analytical Mindset: Strong at balancing competing constraints, identifying root causes, and translating data into action. 
• Communication: Clear and organized, with the ability to work cross-functionally and keep stakeholders at all levels aligned.
