Communicating schedules and priorities clearly to the production team, and resolving any disruptions swiftly.

Monitoring inventory to reduce excess stock and manage carrying costs.

Working with buyers to ensure materials are available to meet production plans.

Progress chasing parts that are running late and keeping everyone updated on progress.

Who We’re Looking For:

Proven experience as a Production Planner, with strong skills in MRP/MPS systems.

Excellent communication skills—you’ll need to keep everyone in the loop, from the shop floor to the office.

A sharp eye for detail and a knack for organising production schedules.

Strong IT skills, including experience with MS Office and ERP systems.

A proactive approach—you’re someone who spots problems before they become issues and works well under pressure.

Why This Role?
