Value Stream Planner

GTI is a contract manufacturing partner supporting customers in renewable energy, power generation, infrastructure, and industrial systems.

We fabricate custom designed, purpose‑built enclosures and skids for our customers and perform mechanical and electrical integration in‑house, delivering a true turn‑key product to our customers.

Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision.

GTI Values:
Safety I Quality I Customer Obsession I Speed I Agility

The Value Stream Planner owns the production plan and the material requirements plan for one GTI value stream (customer program) end to end, as a single point of accountability. This is a planning role, not only a transaction‑processing role: the Planner maintains a rolling 12-week horizon, holding the month directly ahead at execution‑grade detail, and is expected to see risk before it becomes a miss.

The Planner sits embedded within the value stream squad, working side‑by‑side with that value stream's Production Operations Manager/Lead and partners closely with the Materials Management organization; including an evolving mandate to help build pull replenishment and line‑side stores for the value stream.

• Own and publish the rolling 12‑week production plan for the assigned value stream / customer program.
• Manage the plan in two bands: weeks 1–4 at execution‑grade detail (daily/weekly sequencing, work‑center loading), weeks 5–12 at capacity‑ and material‑pre‑positioning detail.
• Translate customer demand, program milestones, and business priorities into an executable schedule across the value stream's work centers.
• Continuously reconcile the plan against actual performance; e.g. schedule attainment, WIP, throughput (and adjust ahead of a miss, not in response to one.)
• Evaluate capacity against demand for the value stream in partnership with the Production Operations Manager/lead on staffing, overtime, and shift needs.
• Hold sequencing and release authority within the agreed freeze window and elevate exceptions.

• Own material requirements planning (MRP execution) for the value stream: taking BOM‑driven demand, purchasing’s supplier lead times, on‑hand and on‑order position into account.
• Maintain forward material readiness across the full 12‑week horizon; keep a live material tracker (green / yellow / red) for the value stream's programs.
• Proactively identify shortages and constraints before they threaten the plan, and drive resolution with Procurement and Materials Management — not just report them.
• Own the Clear‑to‑Build (CTB) determination and readiness gate ahead of work‑order release.

• Sit side‑by‑side with the Production Operations Manager/ Lead for the assigned value stream as their planning counterpart in the daily and weekly operating rhythm.
• Participate directly in floor walks and huddles for the value stream to see emerging risk first‑hand rather than through a report. (develop GEMBA practice with OpEX and Ops team; expected)
• Share joint accountability with the Operations Manager/Lead for the value stream's schedule attainment and on‑time delivery outcomes. Key metrics accountability.
• Direct and prioritize the work of the assigned Production Control Technician such as transactional execution, material tracking, etc..

• Partner with Materials Management — Warehousing, Cycle Counting, Inventory Health, Goods Receiving, Yard Management, and Material Delivery — to align material flow with the value stream's plan.
• Co‑develop and pilot pull replenishment and line‑side stores (kanban,…
