Senior Production Planner
Standard Nuclear, Inc.Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States · Posted 2 months agoDescription
Standard Nuclear is fueling America’s nuclear renaissance at industrial scale. Our mission is to deliver the essential building blocks of nuclear power—enabling cost-effective, safe, and secure energy for the world.
The Senior Production Planner is responsible for developing production schedules and building the planning framework needed to support Standard Nuclear’s growing manufacturing operations. This role translates project demand, engineering inputs, production constraints, material availability, and facility capacity into practical schedules that support execution across multiple facilities.
This is a hands-on planning role in a fast-growing manufacturing environment where production processes, capacity models, and planning systems are actively being developed. The Senior Production Planner will work closely with production, engineering, supply chain, quality, and project teams to gather inputs, identify bottlenecks, estimate throughput, and create schedules that reflect real operational capability.
The role requires strong manufacturing judgment, analytical ability, and comfort working in an environment where assumptions must be tested and refined as operations scale. This position is critical to improving schedule discipline, capacity visibility, and production readiness across the organization.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Production Planning & Scheduling
- Develop and maintain production schedules based on project demand, production readiness, facility capacity, and material availability
- Translate customer, project, and internal priorities into executable production plans
- Build weekly and longer-range production schedules that account for equipment availability, labor, materials, quality requirements, and operational constraints
- Monitor schedule performance and adjust plans as priorities, constraints, or production realities change
- Communicate schedule changes, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to production, project, and leadership teams
Capacity & Throughput Analysis
- Evaluate production capacity across facilities, equipment, labor, and process steps
- Identify bottlenecks, constraints, and throughput limitations that impact production schedules
- Develop and maintain practical capacity assumptions based on actual production performance and input from technical teams
- Support leadership in understanding what work can realistically be completed based on current resources and constraints
- Refine planning models as production processes mature and new data becomes available
Planning Framework Development
- Help build the production planning structure, tools, and routines needed to support scalable manufacturing
- Gather required inputs from engineering, production, quality, and supply chain to support schedule development
- Support development of routings, process assumptions, lead times, work sequencing, and planning rules
- Identify gaps in planning data, documentation, or process inputs and work with teams to close them
- Help standardize production planning practices across facilities as operations grow
Cross-Functional Coordination
- Work closely with production teams to understand current execution status, constraints, and shop-floor realities
- Partner with engineering to understand process requirements, technical readiness, and changes that impact production plans
- Coordinate with supply chain to account for material availability, BOM readiness, long-lead items, and procurement timelines
- Work with quality to ensure inspection, documentation, and release requirements are reflected in production schedules
- Support project teams by providing realistic schedule inputs, production status, and capacity feedback
Multi-Facility Planning
- Support production planning across multiple Standard Nuclear facilities
- Understand facility-specific capabilities, constraints, equipment availability, and readiness
