  • Translating live operational issues into capacity impact assessments, and creating scenario plans which aid business decision making.
  • Proposing recovery plans which limit impact to site output and/or the customer, as and when required.

The main attributes required are:

  • A high level of attention to detail.
  • Excellent analytical skills: Advanced Excel skills, and Power BI experience preferable.
  • Self-motivated, able to plan and prioritize your time to effectively manage multiple strands of work.
  • Ability to tailor communications to multiple audiences, and effectively use data to tell a story, informing others of critical information points and supporting decision making.
  • Demonstrate a cross-functional working style which is important to support your understanding of the needs of stakeholders, and also when partnering with them in prioritizing competing requirements.

To be successful, you will ideally be degree qualified, but the key requirement is a breadth of experience in material planning processes within a manufacturing or engineering environment. Familiarity of S&OP is preferred, with preference given to those who have worked with Class A principals and/or in a regulated environment.

In addition to a competitive salary, Abbott offers a highly attractive benefits package which includes a defined-contribution pension scheme, a share ownership scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements. Here at Witney, we also like to help our employees live life to the fullest, and therefore we offer a range of optional initiatives for you to get involved in, including onsite allotments, couch to 5k campaigns, beekeeping, yoga, and more.
