Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Production Planner / Account Manager to join a precision manufacturing operation in San Jose. This role will own the connection between customer demand and the production floor—ensuring orders are properly planned, scheduled, tracked, and delivered according to customer commitments.

The ideal candidate has strong experience with JobBOSS² (JB2) and understands how to manage production in a high-mix precision machine shop. This person will use JB2 daily to translate customer POs and due dates into an executable production schedule while providing customers with accurate updates based on actual WIP and shop capacity.

Compensation: $80,000-120,000 depending on experience and tenure


Responsibilities:

  • Own production planning and scheduling from customer PO through shipment, using JobBOSS² to manage priorities and commitments.
  • Determine when materials need to be ordered, when jobs need to be released, and when production must begin to meet customer due dates.
  • Schedule and track work through machining, outside processing/finishing, inspection/QA, and final shipment.
  • Monitor WIP, material availability, machine capacity, labor, and production constraints and adjust schedules as conditions change.
  • Maintain accurate job status, lead times, routings, start dates, due dates, and customer commit dates within JobBOSS².
  • Identify material shortages, capacity constraints, bottlenecks, and other risks to delivery and develop recovery plans when schedules fall behind.
  • Coordinate closely with Production, Purchasing, Engineering, Quality, and Shipping to keep jobs moving and customer priorities aligned.
  • Serve as a primary customer contact for order status, lead times, delivery commitments, and schedule changes.
  • Proactively communicate potential delays and provide customers with realistic recovery plans and updated delivery dates.
  • Help improve and standardize the shop's use of JobBOSS², including scheduling processes, data accuracy, reporting, and overall system utilization.
  • Develop and maintain reporting around WIP, backlog, capacity, shortages, past-due orders, and on-time delivery.

Requirements

  • Strong hands-on experience with JobBOSS² / JobBOSS is highly preferred.
  • 3-5 years of production planning, scheduling, production control, program management, or account management experience in manufacturing.
  • Experience in a precision machine shop, CNC machining, semiconductor, aerospace, or high-mix manufacturing environment strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of production scheduling, MRP, materials planning, WIP, capacity planning, and manufacturing process flow.
  • Ability to understand how work moves from raw material through machining, outside processing, quality, and shipment.
  • Strong customer-facing communication and relationship management skills.
  • Advanced Excel and ERP/MRP system skills.
  • Highly organized and able to manage changing priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
