MAITE Planner
On-siteAthens, Attica, Greece
Job Summary
Build and maintain a single integrated schedule covering AIT Engineering, Production, Stock & Logistics, Procurement, Quality, and the Cleanroom & Lab against technical constraints and capacity. Translate satellite demand into executable work across departments, run daily and weekly planning cadences, and produce master schedules, critical path analysis, and visual management boards. Integrate new product introductions and engineering changes without disrupting series production, deliberately schedule downtime for maintenance and calibration, and embed quality hold points into the plan. Own planning data integrity in the ERP and MES, define departmental planning indicators, and flag long-lead risks to procurement.
