We are looking for an experienced Production Planner to join our operations team. In this role you will own the scheduling and coordination of our machining and assembly workflow from raw material receipt through final inspection and shipment.

- Work closely with quality and engineering to manage the flow of first article inspection requirements, traveler documentation, and non-conformance dispositions
- Communicate schedule status and delivery commitments to customers both directly and to other customer-facing employees
- Participate in daily production meetings and drive accountability to plan
- Maintain accurate data in the ERP system including work order status, routing steps, and capacity loading
- Support quoting and capacity analysis by providing lead time inputs and current shop load visibility
- Identify and recommend improvements to scheduling processes, lead time reduction, and workflow efficiency
Requirements
- 3+ years of production planning or scheduling experience in a CNC machining, aerospace, or defense manufacturing environment
- Solid understanding of machining operations, inspection processes, and manufacturing flow in a job shop or low-volume, high-mix environment
- Experience working within an ERP system

- Clear, direct communicator — comfortable raising issues early and working through them with the team
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with ERP reporting and scheduling tools preferred
- Experience with government contracts, ITAR-controlled programs, or defense customers
- Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies

Planner Jobs in Dallas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a planner job in Dallas?
The strongest path into Dallas planning roles runs through the city's active development and infrastructure sectors. The North Texas Council of Governments, DART, and the City of Dallas Planning and Urban Design department are consistent entry points for public-sector planners, while corporate real estate firms and logistics companies in Las Colinas and Frisco hire heavily for supply chain and facilities planners. A portfolio showing Dallas-area projects or familiarity with North Texas growth corridors gives local candidates a real edge.
Which companies hire planners in Dallas?
Employers hiring planners in Dallas right now include Merchant Aviation, ENEL, and Boeing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Dallas draws a wide mix of municipal agencies, large logistics and distribution companies, and corporate headquarters with in-house planning teams, particularly along the Tollway corridor and in the Cedars redevelopment zone.
Are there remote planner jobs in Dallas?
Yes, though it depends on the specialty: supply chain and financial planners work remotely far more often than urban, land use, or facilities planners, who require site visits and in-person coordination. About 50% of planner openings tied to Dallas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting stronger remote availability in analytical and demand-planning roles. Dallas-based tech and corporate employers in Uptown and Legacy West tend to offer the most hybrid flexibility.
How can I get a planner job in Dallas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Dallas is through assistant or junior planner roles with the City of Dallas, Dallas County, or DART, where entry-level positions come with structured onboarding and defined career ladders. Private-sector candidates often start as planning technicians or logistics coordinators at distribution-heavy employers in Garland or Irving. Internships through the University of Texas at Dallas or UT Arlington urban planning programs frequently convert to full-time roles with North Texas municipal and regional agencies.
