As a Production Planner, you'll join our Short-Term Planning team and play a vital role in ensuring production plans are executed safely, efficiently and effectively to meet customer demand.

Working closely with colleagues across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Logistics and Engineering, you'll coordinate the flow of information, materials and resources required to keep operations running smoothly.

• Supporting Continuous Improvement initiatives and site projects that drive efficiency and performance
• Monitoring production performance and identifying opportunities to optimise line utilisation, yield and service levels
• Contributing to the day-to-day running of the planning function and ensuring planning activities are completed accurately and on time

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, thrives in a collaborative environment and wants to make a visible impact within a busy manufacturing operation.

We're looking for a highly organised and proactive planning professional who can build strong relationships across the business and remain focused when managing multiple priorities.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience working within a fast-paced FMCG manufacturing environment
• Previous experience in a Production Planner or similar planning, scheduling or supply chain role
• Knowledge and understanding of SAP MRP processes and other planning systems
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Excel, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Power BI
