  • Planning and Problem Solving: Use your methodical and systematic approach to handle production planning, tackling any material supply issues that arise, and ensuring they are resolved for future operations.
  • Technology and Communication: Collaborate with the IT Manager to enhance planning software tools and participate in monthly production meetings to report on project progress and address any issues.
What They're Looking For:
  • Proven ability to absorb and assimilate technical information quickly.
  • Strong computer skills, particularly in Microsoft Office, with experience in MRP software (LN experience preferred, but training will be provided).
  • Excellent communication skills to liaise effectively across departments.
  • A methodical, systematic approach to tasks with impeccable attention to detail.
  • A tenacious and enthusiastic attitude, ideally with experience in an engineering manufacturing environment.
Why It Matters: In this role, you’ll be at the heart of the production process, ensuring that every piece of equipment is built to the highest standards. Your efforts will directly contribute to the efficiency and success of their operations, making you a key player in maintaining their industry-leading position.
