Apply NowProduction Planner (6-Month Contract) – Food Manufacturing
£35,000 Pro Rata
This isn’t a long, drawn-out “ease yourself in” kind of role.
You’re coming in for 6 months to make an impact. Get stuck in quickly, steady the plan, and keep the operation moving.
No long runway. You’ll need to pick things up fast and get on with it.
The role
You’ll be responsible for planning production across multiple lines, making sure customer demand is met on time, in full, and as efficiently as possible.
It’s a mix of planning, problem-solving, and staying one step ahead of issues before they land.
You’ll be:
Building and managing daily production plans across all SKUs
Balancing stock levels, shelf life, and demand to minimise waste
Adjusting plans quickly when things inevitably change
Working closely with Production, Sales, Warehouse and Engineering
Acting as the central point of communication for planning
Driving line efficiency by reducing changeovers and improving flow
What they’re looking for
Experience in production planning within manufacturing
Someone who can hit the ground running
Strong analytical mindset and attention to detail
