Production Scheduler
Croda · New Castle, DE · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about company, then role description, then "Who We're Looking For", "What You'll Be Doing", "What Success Looks Like", "What We Offer", "Additional Information", "Why Croda?" etc.
We must use for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). However we can choose headings that match content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the EEO paragraph and similar.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (intro), "Responsibilities" (What You'll Be Doing), "Requirements" (Who We're Looking For), "Qualifications" maybe combine with Requirements? Could also have "Skills". "Benefits" (What We Offer). "Additional Information" maybe as a separate section like "Location" or "Additional Details". "Why Croda?" maybe as "About the company". But we must not create sections with filler. The posting includes "Why Croda?" which is substantive about culture, values. So we can include a section "About Croda" or "Why Croda?".
We must not include Pay or Schedule unless stated. No explicit pay or schedule given, so omit those sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content:
Intro paragraph: "Production Scheduler- Atlas Point Croda is a FTSE 100 organization where we truly believe our people are our difference and this, along with our values of Innovative, Responsible and Together, creates ‘our Purpose, Smart science to improve lives™’. With over 5,000 employees globally, we specialize in the research and development of innovative ingredients for the Life Science and Consumer Care markets. We are focused on developing our inclusive culture through accountability, collaboration, and innovation. By joining Croda, you will be part of a team who are using smart science to create a more sustainable future. As we deliver our ambitious 2030 Growth Strategy, we're looking for a Production Scheduler to support Atlas Point, Croda's largest manufacturing site. Supporting five business units and a diverse portfolio of products, this role is critical to ensuring efficient production planning, optimal inventory levels, and on-time customer delivery. Using SAP and planning tools, the Production Scheduler develops and manages production schedules that balance customer demand, manufacturing capacity, resource utilization, and business priorities."
That's about the role.
Then "Who We're Looking For" bullet list: 7-10+ years experience in SAP or another ERP system in production planning modules. Advanced knowledge of manufacturing operations and production schedules; chemical-industry experience preferred. APICS CPIM certification is considered a plus. High School Diploma Required Associate or bachelor’s degree in a technical field preferred. Demonstrated technical and analytical skills with strong attention to detail. Ability to identify problems, recommend solutions, and schedule multiple activities with competing priorities. Project-management skills and the ability to progress multiple projects independently. Ability to work effectively with manufacturing or laboratory personnel, suppliers, customers, managers, and senior leadership. Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables and graphs, plus proficiency in Word and PowerPoint. Strong presentation, facilitation, written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills. Oral and written proficiency in English.
Then "What You'll Be Doing": bullet list of responsibilities.
Then "What Success Looks Like": paragraph.
Then "What We Offer": list of benefits.
Then "Additional Information": This is a site-based role located in New Castle, DE. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the hiring process or experience any issues with our online application process, please email candidate@croda.com .
Then "Why Croda?": paragraph about values, etc. Also includes EEO statement which we must remove. So we need to keep the substantive part before EEO. The "Why Croda?" paragraph includes: "At Croda, we believe our people are our difference. We are people-led, driven by the desire to do good and deliver value, a unifying principle shaped by all the great people that have travelled through Croda since our beginning in 1925. We pride ourselves on bringing together diverse teams and talents from across the globe and, guided by our values of Responsible, Innovative, and Together, we are passionate about building an inclusive, collaborative, and diverse organization with innovation and customer focus underpinning all that we do. Croda recognizes employees as our strength and the diversity they bring to our workforce are directly linked to our ongoing success." Then after that there is EEO boilerplate which we must remove. So we keep up to "...ongoing success." and stop before EEO.
Thus we have sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You'll Be Doing), Requirements (Who We're Looking For), Qualifications maybe could be combined but we can keep Requirements as includes qualifications. Could also have a separate "Qualifications" for education etc. But to avoid thin sections, we can combine.
We also have "Benefits" (What We Offer). "Additional Information" maybe as "Location". Could be a section "Additional Details". Since it's substantive, we include.
We also have "Why Croda?" as "About Croda" or "Company Overview". We'll use heading "About Croda".
We must not include Pay or Schedule.
Now produce HTML:

About Croda
At Croda, we believe our people are our difference. We are people-led, driven by the desire to do good and deliver value, a unifying principle shaped by all the great people that have travelled through Croda since our beginning in 1925. We pride ourselves on bringing together diverse teams and talents from across the globe and, guided by our values of Responsible, Innovative, and Together, we are passionate about building an inclusive, collaborative, and diverse organization with innovation and customer focus underpinning all that we do. Croda recognizes employees as our strength and the diversity they bring to our workforce are directly linked to our ongoing success.
We also might include "What Success Looks Like" as a section maybe "Performance Expectations". It's substantive. Could add as a section. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we already have many sections. Could combine "What Success Looks Like" into Responsibilities or About the role? It's a description of success criteria. Could be its own section "Performance Expectations". That's okay. We need to decide: we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Additional Information, About Croda, plus maybe Performance Expectations. That's many sections but each is substantive. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. But we have to include all substantive info; we can't omit. Could combine some: e.g., merge "About the role" and "What Success Looks Like" into About the role? But the success looks like is a separate paragraph; we could include it in About the role paragraph after intro. That would reduce sections. Similarly, "Why Croda?" could be part of About the role? But it's about company culture; could be separate but maybe we can combine into About the role? However the instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those are typical headings but we can use others if needed. It didn't forbid other headings. But we should aim for few sections. We could structure as: - About the role (intro + success looks like) - Responsibilities - Requirements - Benefits - Additional Information - About Croda (company overview) That's 6 sections. Let's incorporate "What Success Looks Like" into About the role paragraph after the intro. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive info: The success looks like paragraph: "Consistently creating and maintaining an achievable production schedule for Atlas Point that supports on-time customer deliveries, production readiness, inventory optimization, and efficient utilization of manufacturing resources while balancing capacity, materials availability, and changing customer demand." We'll add that to About the role. Now we need to extract bullet lists exactly. Responsibilities bullet list from "What You'll Be Doing": - Accurately schedule and prioritize process orders in response to production plans, demand plans, and changing business needs. - Complete production schedules that maximize capacity, minimize stock levels, improve OEE, and minimize downtime. - Use SAP MRP to review proposed output and determine whether planned order requirements should become firm process orders. - Ensure forward demand is met and add, move, or cancel production as needed to minimize working capital. - Resolve scheduling issues and support achievement of established KPIs. - Investigate and respond to customer complaints, production deviations, or safety investigations. - Facilitate weekly production meetings and provide key scheduling information. - Provide scheduling feedback to prioritize maintenance and minimize customer delays caused by downtime. - Coordinate bulk shipments and schedule manufacturing activities ensuring on-time delivery, optimal inventory levels and strong customer service. - Communicate the production schedule and related issues to production, procurement, customer service, sales, and management. - Present information and respond to questions from managers and customers. Requirements bullet list from "Who We're Looking For": - 7-10+ years experience in SAP or another ERP system in production planning modules. - Advanced knowledge of manufacturing operations and production schedules; chemical-industry experience preferred. - APICS CPIM (Certified in Planning and Inventory Management) certification is considered a plus. - High School Diploma Required Associate or bachelor’s degree in a technical field preferred. - Demonstrated technical and analytical skills with strong attention to detail. - Ability to identify problems, recommend solutions, and schedule multiple activities with competing priorities. - Project-management skills and the ability to progress multiple projects independently. - Ability to work effectively with manufacturing or laboratory personnel, suppliers, customers, managers, and senior leadership. - Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including pivot tables and graphs, plus proficiency in Word and PowerPoint. - Strong presentation, facilitation, written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills. - Oral and written proficiency in English. Note: The line "High School Diploma Required Associate or bachelor’s degree in a technical field preferred." is a bit awkward; we keep as is. Benefits bullet list from "What We Offer": - Excellent Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage, available immediately. - Generous PTO. - 401K Match. - Wellness Reimbursement. - Parental Leave. - Career Development. - Company paid and voluntary Life and AD&D Insurance. - Short- and long-term disability. - Paid Holidays. We should keep exactly as given. Additional Information paragraph: "This is a site-based role located in New Castle, DE. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the hiring process or experience any issues with our online application process, please email candidate@croda.com ." Now About Croda paragraph: we have the content up to "ongoing success." Ensure we don't include EEO. Now About the role paragraph: combine intro and success looks like.
