Lead - Production Planning & Control

About the Role:

The PPC Lead will be responsible for driving production planning, scheduling and execution control to ensure on-time delivery, optimal resource utilization and smooth manufacturing operations. This role is critical in building Axirium’s production planning systems and scaling manufacturing operations in a high-growth aerospace environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and manage master production schedules based on customer demand, capacity and material availability. Monitor production progress and ensure adherence to schedules, quality

requirements

and delivery commitments. Coordinate closely with procurement, quality, engineering and shop-floor teams to resolve production bottlenecks. Plan machine loading, manpower utilization and capacity optimisation. Track WIP, inventory levels and production lead times to improve throughput and reduce cycle time. Analyse production data, prepare MIS reports and drive continuous improvement initiatives. Support new product introduction (NPI) planning and ramp-up activities. Ensure compliance with aerospace quality standards and internal process controls. Location: Hyderabad, India (On-site).

Requirements

Qualifications:

Required: 3–7 years of

experience

in PPC / Production Planning / Manufacturing Operations (preferably aerospace, automotive, defence or precision manufacturing). Strong knowledge of production planning, capacity planning, scheduling and shop-floor control. Good understanding of machining, fabrication and assembly processes. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Proficiency in MS Excel and ERP/MRP systems. Preferred: Exposure to AS9100 / ISO standards and the aerospace manufacturing environment.

Experience

working in a startup or fast-growing manufacturing setup.

Benefits

What You’ll Gain: Key role in establishing PPC systems in a scaling aerospace manufacturing company. Be part of Axirium’s early core team, contributing to building systems, processes and operational culture from the ground up. Direct exposure to senior leadership, strategic planning and global customer programs. Faster career acceleration compared to large organizations, with high visibility and ownership. Opportunity to make a real, measurable impact on delivery performance, efficiency and scalability.
