Production Planner

Are you working in supply chain or manufacturing and ready to take the next step into a Production Planner (or junior demand planning) role?

We’re working with an established manufacturing business in the Grantham area to find a Production Planner to join their busy supply chain team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data, solving problems and keeping lots of moving parts on track. You’ll be responsible for helping make sure production runs smoothly - balancing customer demand, material planning, stock levels and manufacturing capacity.

What you’ll be doing as a Production Planner:

Creating and maintaining daily and weekly production plans

Reviewing customer orders and forecasts to understand production requirements

Monitoring stock and finished goods levels

Identifying potential supply issues before they become a problem

Supporting new product introductions and changes

Tracking key planning and supply chain information

Working closely with colleagues across Operations, Commercial, Technical and Supply Chain

Helping to improve processes and ways of working

What we’re looking for

You may already be a Production Planner, but we’re also keen to hear from people looking for that next step who have worked in roles such as:

Supply Chain Coordinator | Supply Chain Administrator | Planning Assistant | Materials Coordinator | Production Coordinator | Inventory Coordinator | Scheduling Coordinator

You’ll ideally bring as Production Planner:

Experience within a manufacturing, FMCG or similarly fast-paced supply chain environment

Strong Excel skills and confidence working with data

Excellent organisation and attention to detail

The ability to juggle changing priorities and solve problems

Confident communication skills and the ability to work with different teams across a business
