Production Planner
📍 Glasgow| 🏭 On-site, Full-time
Are you a natural planner with a sharp eye for detail and a knack for bringing structure to complexity?
We’re looking for an experienced Supply Chain Planning professional who can confidently balance forecasts, schedules, and supply chain demands in a manufacturing environment. You’ll be the vital link between commercial demand and production capability, making sure operations run smoothly, efficiently, and in sync with wider business goals.
What you’ll be doing
- Work with commercial, marketing, and finance teams to build reliable demand forecasts using market insight and historical data. Spot trends early and keep stakeholders informed when adjustments are needed.
- Create production schedules across internal and third-party operations, ensuring resources are aligned with demand. Monitor progress, flag delays, and support the S&OP process to help the business plan ahead with confidence.
- Keep a close eye on stock levels — from WIP to finished goods and rework. Forecast future needs, reduce excess, and prevent stockouts through proactive planning.
- Make sure ERP systems are fully updated — from SKUs and BOMs to work orders. Provide reporting that brings clarity on capacity, conformance to plan, and performance.
- Work with colleagues across operations, supply chain, commercial, and finance to keep planning aligned with wider business goals. Communicate changes clearly and effectively.
- Identify opportunities to simplify and improve how planning gets done — whether through smarter use of data, better communication, or refined workflows.
What we’re looking for
- 3+ years’ experience in a planning or supply chain role
- Strong Excel and ERP system skills
- Experience in manufacturing, FMCG, or a high-mix production environment
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail
- Proactive, solution-focused, and a confident communicator
