About the role
About the Role
Koch Finishing Systems is hiring a Production Planner to drive projects and sales orders from release through production and shipment at our Caledonia, MI facility. You'll review drawings, release bills of material, optimize and procure steel, build and manage production orders, and develop steel fabrication estimates - all while coordinating materials, inventory, and shipping through to project close. If you're detail-oriented, enjoy juggling multiple concurrent projects, and want to be the person who keeps releases and production moving smoothly, we'd love to talk with you.
What You'll Do
Review project and sales order drawings for accuracy and completeness, and resolve questions or discrepancies with engineering.
Develop and maintain BOMs, material lists, part numbers, and part descriptions for assemblies, weldments, and fabricated components.
Optimize linear steel requirements, issue RFQs to steel suppliers, and review and compare supplier quotes.
Create and manage production orders, including work centers, operations, labor times, and material assignments.
Coordinate materials, inventory transfers, and scrap/drops tracking to support production and procurement.
Maintain the Release Tracker and Shipping Schedule, and coordinate the release of completed work to the shop.
Build relationships with new and alternative suppliers/vendors for raw materials and manufacturing processes.
What You Bring
Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Engineering, or a related field preferred, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
Experience in production planning, steel fabrication release, or estimating within a metal fabrication or industrial equipment environment strongly preferred.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and identify errors or missing information.
Proficiency in Acumatica or similar ERP systems, Procore, and Microsoft Excel.
Strong organizational, problem-solving, and vendor-management skills, with a continuous improvement mindset.
Why Koch Finishing Systems
At Koch Finishing Systems, our work is guided by Integrity, Respect for People, Customer Focus, Continuous Improvement, and Community Involvement. We're a close-knit team that takes care of our customers and each other, and we invest in cross-training so you can grow your product knowledge and your career with us.
