We are looking for a Planning Engineer to strengthen our industrial operations. The role combines production planning, external supply chain follow-up, and support to internal work orders, using Odoo as the main ERP/MRP tool.
Main responsibilities
As a Planning Engineer, you will ensure the smooth flow of parts and assemblies from suppliers to internal manufacturing:
- External supply chain management: follow suppliers to ensure on-time delivery, monitor production progress, perform reminders and escalations when needed.
- Procurement support: request quotations, contribute to supplier workload evaluation, and work closely with the procurement team for purchase orders.
- Production planning: prepare work orders, define servitudes (tooling, fixtures, resources), and in some cases create simple manufacturing routings (gammes).
- Scheduling and monitoring: manage planning updates and priorities within Odoo ERP, ensuring alignment with project milestones.
- Cross-team collaboration: interact daily with manufacturing, quality, procurement, and program teams to consolidate planning and ensure resource availability.
- Reporting: provide visibility on supplier status, internal workload, and risks impacting delivery to Program Management.
Profile
- Engineering degree (industrial, mechanical, supply chain, aerospace, or equivalent).
- 3–5 years of experience in planning, production scheduling, or supply chain management in aerospace or other high-reliability industries.
- Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems (experience with Odoo is a strong plus).
- Familiarity with manufacturing routings, work orders, and supplier management.
- Strong organizational and communication skills, able to interact with both shop floor and external suppliers.
- Ability to manage priorities, anticipate risks, and propose corrective actions.
- Professional English (spoken and written).
