About the role

CONFIDENTIAL — Client Name Withheld Production Materials Planner

Candidate Overview: Our client, an aerospace manufacturer with a growing footprint in the Dayton, OH area, is hiring a production materials planner to own purchase order execution and vendor coordination for their site. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their purchasing career who is organized and detail-oriented.

Role Overview: This is a execution-focused purchasing role supporting the client's Ohio manufacturing site. As the site's accounting and customer service functions are consolidated elsewhere, this role will retain and own the local purchasing function: entering and executing purchase orders, confirming delivery dates with vendors, and keeping related paperwork current. It is a straightforward, process-driven role rather than a strategic sourcing position.

Key Responsibilities: PO Execution: Enter and process purchase orders in the system based on information provided by internal stakeholders. Vendor Follow-Up: Confirm delivery dates with vendors and track orders through to receipt. Documentation: Maintain and update purchasing-related paperwork and records. Site Support: Serve as the on-site purchasing point of contact for the Ohio facility. Background Profile

Required Experience: No specific years of experience required; this is considered an entry-level purchasing role.

Skills: Strong attention to detail and organization; comfortable with data entry and follow-up-heavy work. Reporting: Reports to the site's Director of Composites initially; will transition to a newly created Purchasing/Sourcing Manager as that function is built out. This will be the first Production materials planner under that role. Scope: Supports the Ohio site only.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
