Position: Junior Production Planner & Assistant Shop Manager
Location: Yorktown, VA
Duration: Full Time, Direct-Hire
Schedule: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (1-hour lunch)
Salary Range: $60,000 – $75,000/Annual

We are seeking a mechanically oriented, detail-driven, and team-focused Junior Production Planner & Assistant Shop Manager to help coordinate production planning and support daily shop operations. This is not a dual role, but a focused position that blends planning authority with hands-on shop exposure. The ideal candidate is a natural leader with 3–4 years of relevant experience, eager to grow into a future Production Manager role.

This is a career-building opportunity for someone with potential, humility, and enthusiasm—not just experience. You’ll be mentored, supported, and given room to learn. We don’t believe in overstressing our team; we believe in achieving goals together.


Key Responsibilities
  • Production Planning
  • Develop and manage daily/weekly production schedules based on sales orders, capacity, and inventory
  • Coordinate material requirements, lead times, and work orders with procurement, engineering, and sales
  • Monitor progress and adjust schedules to meet shifting priorities or disruptions
  • Maintain visibility on work orders, verify parts and materials, and ensure readiness for assembly
  • Track KPIs such as on-time delivery, throughput, and efficiency
  • Plan with flexibility—anticipate gaps, shift timelines, and optimize supply/demand balance
  • Implement visual controls, checklists, and standardized procedures to streamline operations
  • Collaborate with sales to manage expectations and align production with realistic delivery timelines
  • Travel: Occasional, optional (e.g., Italy visits once a year)


    • Shop Support & Leadership
  • Work closely with a flat-structured team of 10 shop personnel (fabrication, assembly, painting, shipping)
  • No direct reports, but must have the authority and confidence to direct work and reassign tasks
  • Ensure quality control, safety compliance, and operational consistency
  • Coordinate maintenance and repairs with internal teams and external vendors
  • Support a clean, organized, and accountable shop culture
  • Promote team goals over individual ego—listen, plan, and lead with humility
  • Be hands-on and visible in the shop; this is not a desk-only role


    • Qualifications
  • 3–4 years of experience in production planning, shop coordination, or similar manufacturing roles
  • No degree required, shipyard or industrial experience highly valued
  • Experience with hiring and performance management (including termination decisions)
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing workflows, ERP/MRP systems, and inventory control
  • Excellent communication, planning, and decision-making skills
  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles
  • Comfortable working with procurement, engineering, and sales to align operations
  • High energy, positive attitude, and a hunger to learn and take on responsibility
