Materials Planner - Night Shift

Position Overview

At International Motors, the Materials Planner - Night Shift plays an important role in supporting manufacturing operations by ensuring the right materials are available at the right time to meet production requirements. This position plans, schedules, and monitors the movement of materials throughout the production cycle and works cross-functionally with Purchasing, Production, Engineering, and Supply Chain teams to support efficient material flow and production continuity.

As International Motors continues to grow in San Antonio, we are expanding our production operations with the introduction of a night production shift. The night shift is Monday through Thursday from 5:30 PM to 4:00 AM, with production planned to begin in early 2027. This is a salaried position supporting a manufacturing operation. While the primary schedule aligns with the designated production shift, employees are expected to provide operational support as needed to meet business objectives. This may require working outside normal production hours, including extended shifts, production startup activities, recovery efforts, and occasional weekend support based on operational requirements.
