We're hiring an experienced Planning Manager to take full ownership of installation planning for a fast-growing, design-led business operating across the UK and internationally.
This is not a "keep things ticking" role. We need someone who can bring structure, control and clarity to a busy, labour-heavy operation. You'll be responsible for planning people, materials, subcontractors and timelines, making sure what's sold can actually be delivered on time.
You'll challenge unrealistic deadlines, spot capacity gaps early, and introduce simple, effective planning processes that reduce firefighting and improve performance.
What you'll be doing:
Owning end-to-end installation planning
Building realistic daily and weekly schedules
Balancing labour, logistics and materials
Managing subcontractor capacity
Identifying risks before they impact delivery
Driving KPIs and improving visibility
Supporting a move to a new ERP system
What we're looking for:
Strong planning experience in FMCG or fast-paced operational environments
Experience in labour-intensive or project-led operations
Confident stakeholder management skills
Calm, organised and data-driven approach
Someone who can level up a planning function quickly
40 hours per week.
6-month fixed term contract.
Well-established, growing business with international presence.
Ideal for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity and making things run properly.
If that sounds like you, apply now!
