Due to continued and exponential growth, our client is now looking to appoint a Planning Supervisor to play a key role in shaping and strengthening planning processes across the site. This is a fantastic opportunity for a capable and adaptable planning professional who is eager to grow alongside a business that is moving quickly and investing in its future.
Operating within an SME environment, this role will suit someone who enjoys variety, is happy to roll their sleeves up, and thrives when given responsibility and exposure. You will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team, gaining invaluable insight into strategic decision-making while having the autonomy to influence and improve how planning is done day-to-day.
The Role
As the Planning Supervisor, you will take ownership of onsite material planning and forecasting, support procurement activities and helping to mitigate supplier and stock risks. While this role does not include direct line management responsibilities, it does offer significant scope for progression as the business continues to expand.
Key Responsibilities:
* Material & Production Planning - ensuring material plans align with production schedules and business demands
* Forecasting & Procurement Support - working closely with procurement to support purchasing decisions and supplier planning
* Inventory Management - maintaining sustainable stock levels and ensuring materials are available when needed
* Operational Efficiency - supporting initiatives to improve production efficiency, reduce errors and minimise changeover times
* Continuous Improvement - contributing ideas and implementing best-practice planning processes as the business scales
Why This Role?
* Join an SME that is growing rapidly, offering genuine long-term career progression
* Work closely with the SLT, gaining exposure beyond a typical planning role
* Be trusted with ownership and influence, rather than being boxed into a rigid structure
* Ideal for a highly versatile, ambitious individual who wants to grow with the business
About You
You will have a solid background in production or material planning within a manufacturing environment (food manufacturing experience is highly desirable). More importantly, you will bring energy, adaptability and the desire to build a meaningful career within a growing organisation where your contribution truly matters.
If you're looking for a role where you can develop, progress and make a real impact within a forward-thinking food manufacturer, we'd love to hear from you.
