Job Title: Logistics Operations Planner, System 18 & Wilton Logistics

Grade: HAY 32

Location: Teesside, United Kingdom

SABIC is one of the foremost petrochemical enterprises, functioning across more than 50 nations and employing over 33,000 individuals globally. Since 2006, it has maintained operations in Teesside through its subsidiary, SABIC UK Petrochemicals Limited.

The headquarters of SABIC UK Petrochemicals Limited is situated within the Wilton Centre, complemented by manufacturing and storage facilities at two adjacent sites, namely Wilton International and North Tees. The Wilton International site is home to our two principal manufacturing plants: Olefins 6, a substantial ethylene 'cracker', and System 18, recognized as one of the largest Low-Density Polyethylene plants worldwide. We produce chemicals and products such as ethylene and LDPE, which serve as the fundamental components for numerous everyday materials and plastics that are integral to modern life. Our North Tees site hosts many logistical facilities, including extensive storage tanks, underground salt caverns, liquefaction plants, and jetties. SABIC currently employs over 330 full-time manufacturing personnel alongside more than 400 contractors, contributing significantly to the local economy.

The role of the Logistics Operations Planner for the LDPE System 18 and Wilton Logistics is to align with the detailed local plant production schedule, catering to the needs of the European Polymer Business. This involves the planning and execution of feedstock and product movements from the Wilton LDPE System 18 plant.

Engagement and delivery through collaboration with both internal and external stakeholders are essential to fulfill the business's operational plan, ensuring compliance with SABIC's EHSS standards. A considerable amount of data collection and reconciliation is required to accurately reflect key plant performance indicators.

    • Guarantee sufficient storage capacity for product reception from the plant and ensure that an adequate stock of all grades is maintained in the correct configuration to meet customer delivery expectations.
    • Facilitate the Silo Plan through meticulous planning and scheduling, serving as the communication bridge between the UK Production Team, European Supply Chain, Operations Planning, and Logistics Service Providers for storage and distribution.
  • Oversee raw materials to ensure continuous plant operation and adherence to specifications for the planned LDPE grades.
    • Ensure the availability of necessary raw materials and packaging to execute the production plan, coordinating purchasing requirements and suitable material deliveries.
  • Assess and communicate the effects of planned production activities on logistics and any capacity constraints impacting production.
    • Report and review financial implications to management.

REQUIRED COMPETENCIES

  • Candidates should possess experience in logistics operations along with planning and scheduling methodologies, preferably from a bulk solids or plastics production background. A minimum of 3-5 years of logistics operations and planning experience is required, along with education to HNC level or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in SAP is essential, and candidates should be competent with MS Office applications.
  • Strong communication skills are necessary to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, including acting as the primary liaison between planning and manufacturing functions in the UK and the commercial function in Europe, as well as managing purchasing relationships with suppliers and communicating with multiple Logistics Service Providers.

PRIMARY TASKS

  • Coordinate pre-loading, additional bagging runs, or container storage to ensure silo availability, directing on-site and off-site Logistics Service Providers regarding bulk and packed transport activities.
  • Update relevant reporting linked to production and logistics performance monitoring, including but not limited to: silo utilization, stock status, on-site residence times, silo mass balance calculations, and scorecards for production/loading volumes.
  • Act as the site logistics representative in weekly and bi-monthly meetings, providing performance feedback and presenting relevant data as required.
  • Inform the on-site Logistics Service Provider regarding when to clean silos and perform maintenance, ensuring charges are agreed upon.
  • Monitor plant raw material usage, identifying any changes in expected usage and maintaining the production Bill of Materials (BOM).
  • Clarify the causes of any deviations or defects that may arise with partner organizations (Logistics Service Providers, Container Stack Operators, external Warehouses) and agree on rectifications.
  • Conduct audits of stock inventory (product and raw materials) and usage across production and logistics, including Logistics Service Providers, to create a Mass Balance and account for discrepancies to maintain compliance.
  • Maintain an accurate documentation trail and procedures to ensure compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards for food consumption.
