We’re looking for a Production Planner to join our client’s operations team and take ownership of the day-to-day production schedule. You’ll coordinate people, materials, and capacity to ensure customer orders are delivered efficiently and on time.
This is a newly created role, giving you the opportunity to shape how production planning is managed as the business continues to grow.
What you’ll be doing:
* Develop and maintain short- and medium-term production plans to meet customer demand while optimising resources.
* Work closely with project teams, workshop leads, and the supply chain team to align priorities and plan production requirements.
* Create and update production schedules, factoring in lead times, capacities, and any constraints.
* Monitor progress and proactively adjust plans to protect delivery commitments.
* Communicate schedules and changes clearly to stakeholders across operations and supply chain.
* Identify and implement process improvements to enhance throughput and efficiency.
What we’re looking for:
* Experience in production planning or scheduling – this may be your current role or part of a wider supervisory or team-lead position.
* MRP/ERP knowledge would be beneficial, as the company plans to implement a new system next year.
* A background in manufacturing, ideally in a busy environment where planning and coordination are key.
Why join?
* A supportive and collaborative culture where ideas are welcomed.
* Opportunity to make a real impact in a newly created role.
* A company committed to developing its people and continuously improving its processes.
If you’re organised, detail-oriented, and enjoy bringing order to complex production challenges, we’d love to hear from you
