Tired of the same old planning job where you re buried in spreadsheets and just a cog in the machine? This one s different.
We need a Production Planner who can balance sales, technical, and production demands like a pro. You ll be the one making sure everything flows in the factory, both in Low Risk and High Risk areas, and handling processed and boxed stock like a juggler on a tightrope. Oh, and don t forget about those ever-changing customer specs. They ll keep you on your toes.
Here s what you ll be up to:
- Keeping sales, technical, and production teams singing from the same hymn sheet.
- Working with Production Managers to make sure you ve got the right resources for the plan.
- Managing stock like a hawk and questioning any funny numbers.
- Scrutinising incoming orders against forecasts because who needs surprises?
- Adjusting the plan on the fly, because change is the only constant.
- Getting clued up on new products, spec changes, and promotions, and figuring out how they ll mess with the plan (because they will).
- Helping out on projects that push you outside your comfort zone.
- Training up on all things planning, because we re big on development.
- And, because we re human, covering holiday shifts for your teammates.
What do we need from you? If you re organised to a fault, confident, and a stickler for detail, you ll fit right in. You ll need to be handy with numbers, know your way around a computer, and be cool with juggling competing deadlines. Basically, we need someone who can keep calm and carry on when everything's kicking off.
What s in it for you?
- Progression opportunities to grow your career
- A challenging and engaging role.
- The chance to get involved in various projects.
