Master Scheduler

Master Scheduler – Manufacturing & Fabrication

Location: Kamloops, BC

Employment Type: Full-Time, On-Site

Salary range $65K-$72K

About the Role

Progressive Rubber Industries (PRI) is looking for a Master Scheduler to own and control our production schedule across a busy, multi-discipline manufacturing and fabrication facility. This role is critical to protecting workflow, balancing capacity, and ensuring on-time delivery to our customers.

The Master Scheduler has full authority over day-to-day job sequencing and shop priorities, while project-level schedule changes that extend beyond client-approved production windows require leadership approval. This role is not a project manager, dispatcher, or foreman; it exists to protect flow, prevent overload, and surface risk early.

Key Responsibilities

Own and maintain the master production schedule across all departments

Sequence daily and weekly work based on real capacity and constraints

Balance labour, equipment, and workload to protect on-time delivery

Coordinate with engineering and procurement to prevent bottlenecks

Adjust schedules in real time to manage disruptions while protecting delivery commitments

Monitor project schedules against client-approved production windows

Escalate schedule risks early when customer commitments are at risk

Enforce schedule discipline, no informal or undocumented priority changes

Communicate schedule impacts clearly to supervisors, project managers, and leadership

Track and report schedule performance metrics including on-time delivery and schedule adherence

Authority & Decision Rights

The Master Scheduler has full authority over day-to-day and short-term production scheduling, including job sequencing and work center priorities.

Approval from Operations Leadership is required when schedule changes would push work outside of a client’s approved production window or create contractual or commercial risk.

Required Experience & Pre-Requisites

Manufacturing, fabrication, or industrial production scheduling experience

Strong understanding of capacity planning and production constraints

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including multi-sheet models, formulas (IF, XLOOKUP, SUMIFS), pivot tables, and data analysis for decision-making

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Project, including task dependencies, critical path analysis, resource loading, and schedule leveling

Ability to build, maintain, and defend schedules using data

Comfortable making decisions and holding the line on priorities

Strong communication skills across shop floor, project, and leadership teams

Why Join Progressive Rubber Industries

At PRI, the Master Scheduler plays a central role in improving on-time delivery, reducing firefighting, and driving operational discipline. This role has real authority, leadership support, and a direct impact on customer satisfaction and company performance.

We are actively investing in better systems, clearer processes, and stronger execution. This role is key to making that happen.
