1. Caring About People, Plants, and Process

2. Growth Oriented

3. Customer First

4. "Can Do" Attitude

TPC is a collaborative, fast-growing company where flexibility, teamwork, and problem-solving are key. While this role’s primary focus is on production scheduling and systems management, there will be times when you may be asked to assist in other areas to support company priorities.

  • Partner with Finance, IT, and Operations to ensure a smooth migration and alignment of data, controls, and workflows.
  • Maintain high data integrity standards and ensure all system users are properly trained on Aster functionality post go-live.
  • Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the ERP system through the transition phase, ensuring continuity and minimal disruption to production operations.

    • Inventory Management

  • Oversee live goods inventory accuracy and integrity across growing, packaging, and shipping operations.
  • Ensure timely and accurate cycle counts, month-end reporting, and full physical inventory counts.
  • Investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies; implement best practices for tracking and reporting.
  • Maintain precise data entry for production, grading, and shipping records.
  • Manage scrap tracking and reporting, identifying trends and opportunities to reduce loss.

    • Manager Responsibilities

  • Monitor and report purchasing and production efficiencies, capacity levels, and cost drivers; analyze data to forecast and support budgetary needs.
  • Supervise the daily workflow and performance of the scheduling and production planning teams.
  • Conduct timely, constructive performance evaluations and manage performance improvement discussions.
  • Handle employee discipline and termination as needed, in alignment with company policy and values.
  • Demonstrate strong conflict management, communication, and feedback skills.
  • Provide accurate feedback on employee performance and attendance to support disciplinary and promotional decisions.
  • Lead by example—modeling TPC’s core values, professionalism, and accountability.

    • Required Skills and Abilities

  • In-depth knowledge of production planning, manufacturing scheduling, and materials management.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret data and drive process improvements.
  • Proficiency in ERP systems (Business Central experience required; Aster ERP experience preferred or willingness to master).
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook).
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to prioritize, delegate, and manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • High attention to detail, accuracy, and organizational discipline.
  • Strong decision-making and critical-thinking abilities.
  • Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
  • Flexibility to work occasional weekends or extended hours during peak production periods.

    • Education and Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Operations, or related field required.
  • Minimum of 3 years’ experience in production planning, manufacturing, or scheduling management required.
  • ERP system implementation experience strongly preferred.
  • Horticulture, agricultural, or manufacturing environment experience a plus.

    • Physical Requirements

  • Ability to stand and walk for extended periods.
  • Must be able to bend, stoop, squat, and lift up to 50 lbs.
  • Willingness to work in varying conditions, including heat, humidity, and exposure to typical greenhouse environments (smells, noise, allergens).
