Job Description

Master Scheduler

Location: Ann Arbor, MI

Industry: Manufacturing

We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-driven Master Scheduler to join our clients team in Ann Arbor. This is a key role responsible for keeping production on track, making sure materials, machines, and people are all in sync to meet customer needs on time.

About the Role:

You’ll be in charge of building and managing the production schedule - coordinating everything from raw material planning to finished product delivery. You’ll work closely with production, purchasing, and customer service to make sure everything runs smoothly and deadlines are met.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Create and maintain production schedules based on orders and forecasts
• Look at resource availability (machines, tools, staffing) to build realistic timelines
• Use ERP / MES to plan and adjust work orders as needed
• Work directly with supervisors on the floor to track progress and clear roadblocks
• Update schedules when things change—machine downtime, delays, rush orders, etc.
• Prepare reports on capacity, earned hours, and customer delivery schedules
• Coordinate truck scheduling and packaging with customers
• Work with customer service to make sure questions are answered and expectations are met
• Jump into cross-functional teams to help solve problems with late or delayed orders

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in production scheduling, preferably in manufacturing
• Experience with ERP systems
• Strong communication skills and a solid understanding of how production flows
• Confident working with data, numbers, and time-sensitive decisions
• Good at spotting issues before they become problems and adjusting quickly
• Able to handle multiple moving parts without losing sight of the bigger picture
• Bachelor’s degree is a plus, but not required if you’ve got solid experience

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Supportive team and a place where your work actually makes an impact

If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced, production-focused environment and knows how to build a solid plan - and keep it moving - we’d love to hear from you.
