The divisions of our business include Miller Fabricated Systems, Flex Air, Miller Industries Representatives, and our MI Service Group. Together, we have the capabilities to provide our customers with custom steel fabrication, custom commercial and industrial HVAC systems, and various modular mechanical and electrical systems. Over the years, we have been a primary supplier to automotive, healthcare, institutional, and semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. We take great pride in our family-operated business built on hard work and a passion for making quality products. We are committed to ensuring the needs of our employees are met and even exceeded, and that they can grow and develop throughout their careers. As we continue to grow at a rapid pace, we are looking for skilled talent to join our team. If you believe this opportunity is right for you, we welcome you to apply today! POSITION SUMMARY The Master Scheduler will lead the transformation of our production planning environment from reactive, spreadsheet‑based scheduling to a fully integrated Master Production Schedule (MPS) and a mature Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process. This role supports the Materials Manager and collaborates closely with Supply Chain, Engineering, Project Management, and Operations to create material‑aligned, capacity‑feasible schedules for our engineered‑to‑order (ETO) products—including large rooftop air‑handling units, Flex Air systems, pump stations, water‑cooled piping modules, and modular electrical substations. These projects involve oversized steel structures, heavy piping, electrical gear, and crane‑managed material flow. The Master Scheduler will be responsible for bringing discipline, predictability, and visibility to our planning environment and ensuring that all functions operate from one unified plan. Miller Industries is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Master Production Schedule (MPS) Development Develop, own, and maintain the company’s Master Production Schedule. Build time‑phased schedules integrating demand, engineering release dates, material readiness, and production capacity. Maintain rolling 8–13 week production schedules for all fabrication, weld, assembly, mechanical, piping, electrical, and testing operations. Identify schedule conflicts and proactively resolve capacity or material constraints. Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) Lead the creation and execution of the monthly S&OP process, reporting under the Materials Manager. Align sales forecasts, engineering release plans, procurement status, and bay/crane capacity. Prepare S&OP dashboards, KPIs, and risk summaries for leadership review. Cross‑Functional Coordination Act as the scheduling liaison between Engineering, Supply Chain, Materials Handling, Production, and Project Management. Facilitate weekly cross‑functional planning reviews to align priorities and risks. Ensure all teams operate from the current version of the schedule. Material Readiness Establish Material Readiness Gates to ensure jobs do not start without critical path components staged. Partner with Purchasing, Receiving, and Material Handling to confirm availability and staging of long‑lead items. Communicate shortages and material risks to the Materials Manager and operations leadership. Capacity Planning & Resource Modeling Analyze capacity by work center, bay, crane, and labor skillset. Develop forward‑looking labor and machine loading plans. Recommend overtime, shift adjustments, or outsourcing when needed. Production Monitoring & Reporting Track and report schedule adherence and production progress weekly. Provide actionable insights to the Materials Manager and Production leadership. Highlight bottlenecks, constraints, delays, and engineering release impacts. ERP Integration (Global Shop Solutions) Support the Materials Manager in the future implementation of MRP, scheduling, and WIP modules. Create the foundational structure (locations, flow rules, discipline) required prior to ERP go‑live. Align the physical workflow with ERP system expectations. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS Education Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, Business, or related field preferred. APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM or CSCP) strongly preferred. Experience 7–10+ years of experience in Master Scheduling or Production Planning. Experience in engineered‑to‑order (ETO), modular construction, custom HVAC, large mechanical equipment, or industrial fabrication required. Prior experience implementing or improving an MPS and/or S&OP process preferred. Technical Skills Strong knowledge of MRP‑II, capacity planning, and scheduling logic. Proficiency with ERP systems (GSS experience a plus). Advanced Excel skills and experience with scheduling software. Ability to interpret engineering drawings, BOMs, routings, and project plans. | ||
