In keeping with our Strategic Plan, HeliMods is growing nationally and in select global markets. To support our growth plans we are currently seeking to appoint new team members to work in our dynamic environment. The Opportunity HeliMods are seeking an experienced Production Scheduler focused on scheduling the flow of production within HeliMods’ production environment. HeliMods has an advanced production environment and leverages advanced software tools and data and therefore the role requires high-level technical and systems skills as well as good communication and coordination skills. The role involves not only technical scheduling but also engaging closely with others in the team to deploy and execute the production schedules, ensuring efficient use of resources, communicating with other departments to meet production targets and DIFOT. The role is also responsible for reporting planned versus actual data. The Production Scheduler will also work closely with and provide cross-functional support to the production planner. Skills and Experience Production Scheduling Develop and continuously maintain an executable production schedule using HeliMods’ enterprise tools, solving for efficient on-time delivery of production deliverables. Coordinate with other enterprise teams to make sure that any required scheduling inputs are available and accurate (date information, priorities, production and production data, stock inputs etc.) Where necessary, run multiple scheduling scenarios and provide recommendations backed by data to the broader team on what scenarios should be adopted including where shifts changes may need to occur and be reflected in updated rosters. Continuously monitor and evaluate changes that could impact the schedule (e.g. planned and unplanned machine downtime, variations in resource availability updates to priorities etc.) and make scheduling adjustments as required, reporting changes and impacts to the team. Communicate any changes or updates to production schedules to all relevant teams in a timely manner. Track actual progress against the production schedule, identifying and reporting issues and risks. Provide timely reporting and updates to the Head of Production, Production Planner and other relevant stakeholders on the status of ongoing production orders including planned versus actual production schedule data. Continuous Improvement Participate in continuous improvement initiatives by suggesting changes that can improve the efficiency of production scheduling and resource utilisation. Analyse production data to identify trends, bottlenecks, or inefficiencies in the production process and propose corrective actions. Production Planning Work closely with the Production Planner and workshare or perform production planning duties if coverage is required from time to time. Learn how to forecast and plan longer term production deliverables, inform order lead times and promised delivery dates. Gain experience in creating long-term production plans to support business goals and assist in ensuring alignment between planning and scheduling processes.
