Job Title:

Scheduler

Department:
Scheduling/Production Planning

Reports to:

General Manager

Location:

Sturtevant, WI

The Scheduler is responsible for translating the plant's order book into a daily production schedule that maximizes corrugator utilization, minimizes setup churn, and delivers on customer commit dates. This role sits at the intersection of customer demand, corrugator capacity, and converting line availability — and the decisions made here directly determine whether the plant runs efficiently or reactively.

ND PKG operates a 98" Fosber corrugator with full converting lines. Corrugator scheduling is the highest-leverage scheduling function in the plant: run sequence, board combination efficiency, and setup frequency have a direct impact on utilization, waste, and on-time delivery. The Scheduler reports directly to the General Manager and coordinates daily with Customer Service, Production, and Shipping.

The actual base pay offered to the successful candidate will be based on multiple factors, including but not limited to job-related knowledge/skills, experience, geographical location, and internal equity. At ND Paper, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at the high end of the range for their role, and compensation decisions are dependent upon the facts and circumstances of each position and candidate.

ND Paper is a leading manufacturer of high-quality pulp, paper, and packaging products in the United States, generating over half a billion dollars in annual sales. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Limited – the largest container board producer in the world – ND Paper is part of a global network committed to excellence and innovation. With two integrated pulp and paper mills in Rumford, Maine and Biron, Wisconsin, a packaging plant in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, and two sheeting facilities in Langhorne, Pennsylvania and Fairmont, West Virginia, the ND Paper family produces nearly one million tons of products annually.

Our 1,100 dedicated employees are the heart of our operations, and we are committed to fostering positive work environments where individuals can advance and thrive. At ND Paper, we are investing in our future, and that starts with our staff.

• Demonstrate safety as a core value and establish a safe work environment by actively leading the safe execution of work.

• Build and release the daily corrugator schedule with sufficient lead time for the shift supervisor to prepare — target release before shift startup
• Sequence corrugator orders to maximize run length, minimize setup count, and optimize board combinations across flute profile, liner, and medium changes
• Manage corrugator capacity against order demand — flag capacity constraints to the General Manager before they become delivery misses
• Balance short-run and long-run orders across the week to prevent setup fragmentation on any single shift
• Adjust schedule in real time when corrugator downtime, quality holds, or order changes disrupt the plan — communicate changes immediately to Production and Customer Service
• Coordinate reworks into the production schedule

• Schedule converting lines (flexo folder gluers, die cutters, stitcher, bundler, bander) in coordination with corrugator output and converting line capacity
• Sequence converting orders to minimize changeover time and maintain flow from corrugator to finished goods
• Ensure…
