Machine Scheduler - Custom Machine Shop

At Advance CNC Machining we believe in getting the right people in the right seats so we can fulfill our mission to create more opportunities for our families and our neighbors.

We are seeking an experienced Machine Scheduler who thrives in a dynamic environment – someone who is creative and optimizes workflow with out-of-the-box solutions. If this sounds like you, and you can thoughtfully bring the efficiency, effectiveness, and drive needed to help our $15 million company keep up with rapidly rising demand, we’d love to hear from you!

What You’ll Do

As our Scheduler, you will play a critical role in ensuring our customers receive parts on time, every time. You’ll collaborate closely with our Setup and Production teams and own the flow of work across 15 advanced 4‑ and 5‑axis CNC milling machines with automation.

Your responsibilities will include:

Developing and maintaining the production schedule to meet customer delivery requirements, adjusting in real time as priorities shift.

Supporting Setup and Production teams by coordinating timelines for jobs, tooling, work holdings, and sequence planning to keep machines running efficiently.

Generating accurate lead times for customer quotes, using your knowledge of machine processes and constraints.

Evaluating, updating, and improving scheduling strategies to optimize throughput and minimize downtime.

Monitoring job progress, identifying bottlenecks, and proactively resolving scheduling conflicts.

Ensuring on‑time delivery performance by keeping all stakeholders aligned and informed.

Leveraging ERP and Microsoft Office tools, especially Excel, to analyze data, manage capacity, and track performance.

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone who’s equal parts planner, problem-solver, and manufacturing enthusiast. You should have:

Strong experience with dynamic production scheduling, preferably in a high-mix, low-volume environment.

Deep understanding of CNC machining, including tools, work holdings, setup processes, and general manufacturing methods.

Exceptional organizational and project management skills, with the ability to juggle priorities while keeping chaos at bay.

Proficiency in Excel, Microsoft Office Suite, and ERP/MRP systems—you know your way around data.

A proactive, collaborative approach with excellent communication skills including the ability to hold others accountable.

Experience scheduling for multi-axis machining centers, automated pallet systems, or similar advanced machining environments is a bonus.
