Job Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Planner to support production and material planning activities for a manufacturing operation in Wilmington, Massachusetts. This is a Long-term Contract opportunity suited for someone who can balance inventory availability, schedule commitments, and cross-functional coordination in a low-volume, high-value environment. The ideal candidate brings strong planning expertise, sound judgment in resolving supply challenges, and hands-on experience with Oracle-based ERP systems.
Responsibilities:
  • Review vendor-driven material requests, confirm stock availability, and coordinate with planning teams to distribute inventory effectively.
  • Adjust and communicate updates to production schedules while identifying risks that could interrupt manufacturing output.
  • Take initiative to resolve planning, material, and scheduling issues by working closely with operations, purchasing, and related stakeholders.
  • Escalate component shortages to purchasing and help drive urgent actions needed to protect production timelines.
  • Convert approved requisitions into inventory reservations and ensure materials are issued accurately to the appropriate cost center.
  • Create and process sales orders required for material movement, then coordinate delivery to internal requestors.
  • Track and share performance metrics tied to schedule adherence, planning activity, material readiness, and documentation quality.
  • Support planning activities within enterprise systems, with a preference for Oracle experience in manufacturing and inventory transactions.
