About the Opportunity

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Resource Planner to join our team in Delta, BC on a permanent, full-time basis. This is a hybrid role with a mix of one day a week working from home and from Boundary Bay airport in Delta, with a training period taking place fully in office.

The successful candidate will oversee both short and long-term scheduling and forecasting for our Production Control team. This involves planning and reporting manpower schedules for a sizable unionized workforce and aiding management in achieving corporate goals. As the Resource Planner, ensuring timely, high-quality service to customers at the best cost means assigning the appropriate number of staff to the right tasks.

Ensure compliance with the Collective Agreement regarding overtime assignment
Support the Production Control team with work scheduling, planning, and assignment activities
Monitor usage of employees across Functional Work Areas to determine manpower issues that may be obscured by shared resources
Identify high-cost drivers in the schedule and rectify through schedule re-work or adjustments
Take initiative in identifying schedule opportunities and risks, and implementing solutions
Identify current and anticipated bottlenecks due to manpower, assess potential solutions, and implement solutions
Liaise with team leaders to understand workforce capabilities and skills to plan better work alignment, discuss and analyze overtime trend data
Analyze workforce and skill gaps, and develop a workforce action plan including monitoring progress and updating management
Work closely with HR and business leaders to integrate standardized workforce planning practices into the organization
Liaise with HR and Labour Relations to address employee concerns related to manpower/overtime
Monitor work assignments and Weekend Passover to ensure resources are utilized optimally to meet operational demand
Analyze vacation levels and overtime to ensure staff is adequately allocated
Utilize Capacity Forecast tools to determine the level of staffing compared to operational needs, informing Production Control of potential shortfalls in resources
Review overtime plans for multiple departments and distribute weekly draft and final plans
More About You

In order to qualify for this role, you will need 2-3 years of related experience, with experience in project/production management, or working in a unionized environment being strong assets.

Additionally, the following would be required for this position:

Advanced MS Office skills
Experience with database ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Oracle, MS Access)
Experience with ADP
Working knowledge of IAMAW collective agreements is an asset
Ability to interpret and apply collective agreements, and associated policies and procedures
Knowledge of scheduling/forecasting systems

As our ideal candidate, you can liaise with a variety of stakeholders in a courteous and tactful manner, with superior communication and interpersonal skills. You are able to work well both as a member of a team and independently, with the ability to apply discretion and sound judgment to personnel scheduling information and efficiencies.

We are looking for someone who is highly detail-oriented, with strong organizational, multitasking, and time management ability. You are adaptable, with the foresight to anticipate trends and the impact to long-term workforce planning and the ability to manage projects aimed at improving workforce planning processes. Above all, you are collaborative with exceptional decision-making and problem-solving skills.
