At ABB , we help industries run leaner and cleaner—and every person here makes that happen. You’ll be empowered to lead, supported to grow, and proud of the impact we create together. Join us and help run what runs the world.

This position reports to: Production Manager __ Your Role and Responsibilities You will translate the production plan defined by the Operation Planner into an executable sequence of manufacturing orders.

You will verify material readiness across the end-to-end flow, coordinate shortages and material call-offs, and provide Production with prioritized orders that have an appropriate level of component coverage. - Work model: #LI-Onsite In this role, you’ll help run what runs the world by taking on meaningful work that drives real impact, as you will be accountable for: Translating the production plan and agreed priorities into an operational schedule for assembly lines and work centers, maintaining alignment with the Master Production Schedule (MPS).

Creating and continuously updating the sequence of potentially producible orders based on system-confirmed availability of materials and components. Assessing order readiness across the complete product scope, including medium-voltage switchgear, low-voltage compartments, purchased parts, internally manufactured components, and pre-assemblies.

Identifying orders that are not sufficiently mature from a material perspective, rescheduling them when necessary, and providing structured feedback to the Operation Planner on production-date impacts.

Monitoring material shortages for planned and scheduled orders and coordinating corrective actions with Material Planning, Logistics, work centers, pre-assembly areas, Procurement, and suppliers through the appropriate contacts.

Managing material call-offs from external warehouses through Pull Lists, Storeban, Kanban, and applicable transfer-order flows, ensuring alignment with production priorities and physical stock. Monitoring internally produced parts and pre-assemblies, escalating delays to the responsible areas, following progress, and updating the production sequence when required.

Providing Production with the prioritized order list following the preliminary readiness check and incorporating feedback from the final physical “OK to Produce” verification. Analyzing recurring shortages, inventory parameters, reorder quantities, stock coverage, and feeding logic to improve material availability while balancing inventory levels and factory storage capacity.

Contributing to the design, standardization, continuous improvement, and progressive automation of the scheduling process and its interfaces across Planning, Material Planning, Logistics, and Production. Qualifications for the Role Degree in Management Engineering, Industrial or Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent technical-engineering discipline.

Experience in Production Planning, Scheduling, Material Planning, Supply Chain, or manufacturing operations is preferred; high-potential engineering profiles with strong learning agility may also be considered. Knowledge of production planning and scheduling principles, including MRP, MPS, priority management, and material-coverage logic.

Experience with ERP/MRP systems, preferably SAP, and production-planning or scheduling tools. Understanding of inventory control, shortage management, stock-coverage analysis, and material-flow processes. Ability to analyze data, prepare reports, monitor KPIs, and use information to make timely operational decisions.

Knowledge of complex, multi-component, or engineer-to-order manufacturing environments is an advantage. Structured problem-solving capability and a continuous-improvement mindset, with the ability to help build processes that are still evolving. Strong organizational skills, pragmatism, autonomy, and the ability to manage multiple priorities and pressure in a dynamic manufacturing environment.

Effective communication and coordination skills across Operation Planning, Material Planning, Logistics, Production, work centers, and external supply interfaces. Willingness to work closely with the shopfloor, understand the production process in detail, and act proactively to resolve constraints. Good command of Italian and English, both written and spoken.
