Manufacturing Planner

You will be the Manufacturing Planner for the Production Planning & Control (PP&C) organization within Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control (MFC) in Orlando, FL. Our team is the engine that ensures high-quality products are built on schedule, on budget, and with the right resources-by aligning procurement, operations, and manufacturing into a seamless, data-driven plan.

As the Manufacturing Planner, you will be the central hub that translates demand into feasible production schedules. You'll partner with procurement, operations, and engineering to create time-phased material plans, release work orders, and monitor execution-keeping the flow of parts and assemblies smooth, on-time, and cost-effective.

Your responsibilities will include :

  • Coordinating with Procurement and Operations Management to develop time-phased plans for procured parts using MRP data.
  • Tracking supply-chain actions to guarantee materials are ordered, received, and available when production needs them.
  • Working with Manufacturing and Operations Management to define optimal lot-size strategies for "make" assemblies.
  • Analyzing demand, releasing work orders, and ensuring engineering changes are applied promptly.
  • Providing real-time status updates to keep production schedules on track.
  • Identifying bottlenecks and driving continuous-improvement initiatives that boost efficiency and reduce waste.
  • Maintaining accurate documentation and reporting for senior leadership and program stakeholders.

Why Join Us

We're looking for a collaborative, analytically-driven planner who thrives in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment. You'll join a diverse team that values innovative thinking, continuous learning, and a "can-do" attitude. Lockheed Martin offers a competitive salary, robust benefits, flexible work-schedule options, and a culture that supports career growth, mentorship, and work-life balance. If you're ready to shape production excellence, influence multi-disciplinary teams, and make a tangible impact on national security, we encourage you to apply today.

We are committed to supporting your work-life balance and overall well-being, offering flexible scheduling options.
