Do you want to play a key role in ensuring fresh herbs reach our customers on time, every time?
At Vitacress, we’re proud to nurture the future of growing food, and you can be part of it.
As our Material Planner, you will take ownership of planning and managing raw material supply to support production. You will work closely with suppliers and internal teams, making sure stock levels are right, deliveries are on time, and materials meet the highest standards. You will use your skills in Excel and ERP systems to track inventory, align material plans with production needs, and keep everything running smoothly.
You will build strong relationships with suppliers, communicate clearly with production and technical teams, and proactively resolve supply chain risks before they become problems. You will spot opportunities to improve processes, bring fresh ideas, and help us work smarter. You will ensure compliance with company policies and contribute to a safe, inclusive workplace where everyone thrives.
This is a role where you can make a real difference — combining analytical thinking with practical problem‑solving to keep our operations efficient and resilient. If you have planning experience, strong organisational skills, and the confidence to take initiative, you will find a home here.
