Production Scheduler - PCBA

About the Role

We are looking for a Production Scheduler for the PCBA function in Dubai. This role focuses on turning the master schedule into a practical one- to four-week production plan by matching it with available manufacturing capacity. The aim is to balance workloads, improve throughput, reduce cycle time and inventory, and help ensure deliveries are made on schedule.

The position requires close coordination with teams across operations, customer service, finance, purchasing, engineering, quality, and supply chain planning. The scheduler will also monitor Repairs SIOP files, future forecasts, and Aftermarket Repairs BOS metrics. Kinaxis will be used to address exception messages and revenue risks, and TOM meetings will be used to identify and act on material constraints in the plan.
