[Hiring] Materials Planner I @SEAKR Engineering

Role Description

SEAKR Engineering has an immediate opportunity for a Level 1 Materials Planner to join our team. In this role, you will support planning, analysis, and execution activities associated with material demand throughout the program lifecycle. Planning plays a critical role in every stage of a program, from demand initiation and material procurement through shop order creation, material disposition, and program closeout.

This position is highly analytical and data-driven. Successful candidates enjoy working with ERP/MRP systems, spreadsheets, reports, and large amounts of information to identify issues, solve problems, and support program execution. Planners spend much of their time analyzing material demand, reviewing supply requirements, evaluating shortages, and coordinating actions needed to support program schedules. While planners work closely with purchasing, engineering, manufacturing, property, and program teams, this is primarily a planning, analysis, and coordination role with no hands-on material handling responsibilities.

You will work cross-functionally with purchasing, program management, engineering, property, and fellow planners to ensure material availability aligns with program schedules and program objectives. This is a fully remote position and a critical role in supporting successful program execution.

This role is well-suited for individuals early in their career who are looking to build a strong foundation in supply chain, operations, material planning, and program execution within the aerospace industry.
