We're looking for a Production Planner to join a growing manufacturing and technology business where you'll play a key role in coordinating production, materials and inventory to ensure products are delivered on time and to the highest standards.
Joining during a period of growth and investment, you'll have the opportunity to influence processes, work closely with cross-functional teams and make a visible impact on operational performance.
This is an opportunity to become a key part of a collaborative team where your planning expertise will directly influence production performance, inventory strategy and operational success. You'll work across manufacturing, engineering and supply chain functions, helping ensure products move efficiently from concept through to delivery.
Whether you're currently a Production Planner, Materials Planner, Supply Planner or Production Controller, this role offers the chance to take ownership, make an impact and develop your career within a fast-growing organisation investing heavily in its future.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll be responsible for keeping production running smoothly by coordinating schedules, materials and inventory requirements across the business.
Working closely with production, engineering, quality and supply chain teams, you'll:
*
Build and manage production schedules and manufacturing orders

Ensure materials and components are available when needed
*
Maintain accurate BOMs and ERP system data
*
Monitor inventory levels and identify potential risks before they impact production

Support demand and capacity planning activities
*
Drive improvements in planning processes, inventory control and operational efficiency
*
Play a key role in the ongoing development of planning systems and processes
What We're Looking For
We're interested in planners who can bring structure, organisation and commercial awareness to a busy manufacturing environment.
You'll have:

Experience in production, materials or supply planning

Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and Bills of Materials

Strong Excel and data analysis skills
*
Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving ability
