The posting

Company Description

For more than 70 years, Senior Metal Bellows has been pushing the limits of innovation—designing and building custom-engineered metal bellows for industries that demand the best: aerospace, defense, energy, and beyond.

We’re not just making parts—we’re making solutions no one else can. And we want you to be part of it.

Job Description

As the Planning Manager, you will lead our talented planning team and own the master schedule that drives our shop floor and suppliers. Reporting directly to the Director of Supply Chain, you will oversee demand and supply planning, material requirements, and customer promise dates. This is a critical leadership role utilizing Oracle E-Business Suite and Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) to balance manufacturing efficiency, inventory targets, and customer satisfaction.

Core Responsibilities

  • Team Leadership: Manage the Planning Team by overseeing day-to-day operations, recruitment, performance management, coaching, and talent development.
  • S&OP Ownership: Build and lead the supply side of a monthly sales and operations planning (S&OP) process, collaborating with Sales on forecast accuracy and presenting capacity-constrained plans.
  • Capacity & Production Planning: Develop processes to ensure a feasible production plan, check load against demonstrated capacity at bottlenecks, and balance manufacturing costs against inventory targets.
  • Customer Delivery: Own customer promise and schedule ship dates at order booking, manage changes, and coordinate scheduling to meet delivery dates and financial goals.
  • NPI Collaboration: Partner with New Product Introduction (NPI) teams to establish processes for launching new products into general availability, including program schedules.
  • Material & Inventory Control: Release requisitions with appropriate lead times, coordinate with Purchasing to expedite/reschedule shipments, and establish stocking policies (ABC segmentation, safety stock) with Finance and Operations.
  • Schedule Stability: Maintain plan stability inside the planning time fence, minimize unnecessary changes, and focus the team on critical exception messages.
  • Reporting & Metrics: Prepare weekly, monthly, and quarterly shipment outlooks, clear-to-build, and shortage reports; track KPIs including on-time delivery, schedule adherence, and inventory targets.
  • Disruption Management: Investigate schedule disruptions, implement production control systems to resolve bottlenecks, and notify affected departments of delays or variances.
  • System Optimization: Maximize Oracle E-Business Suite and ASCP functionality, maintain strict data accuracy (lead times, time fences), and train the team on proper system usage.

Qualifications

What You Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree (BA/BS) in Supply Chain Management, Operations, Business Administration, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Minimum of 5 years in production planning, inventory management, or manufacturing operations, ideally within high-mix or make-to-order environments.
  • Proven experience managing, leading, or supervising direct reports or a planning department.
  • Advanced proficiency with Oracle E-Business Suite (ASCP strongly preferred) and Microsoft Office Suite (especially Excel).
  • Hands-on experience with MRP, capacity planning, and S&OP processes.

Even Better if You Have:

  • APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM or CSCP).
  • Background in the aerospace, defense, or semiconductor industries.
  • Experience with SQL or BI tools like Power BI.

Regulatory & Compliance Requirements

  • Strict adherence to quality procedures is mandatory in alignment with AS9100/ISO 9001 standards, as this role directly impacts product safety and data integrity.
  • Responsibility for scheduling DPAS-rated orders with the priority required by federal regulations.
  • Primarily an office-based role, but requires the physical ability to routinely access the manufacturing floor, wear required PPE, and inspect physical components alongside engineering drawings.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
