Our client, a large food processor, are now recruiting for a Production Planner who will be responsible for ensuring that products are produced on time and at the lowest cost by optimising the use of staff and materials.

You'll be involved in overseeing the production and distribution process to ensure smooth operations, with full ownership and development of the Production Scheduling System in a busy production environment.

You'll be an excellent communicator, both verbal and written, as you'll be liaising with both external and internal customers and updating them on product progress.

* Collect and analyse data on production performance and team efficiency, identifying opportunities for improvement.

* Prepare comprehensive production reports for senior management, offering actionable insights and suggestions for enhancing overall efficiency.

You'll be a team player, with excellent administrative, organisational and planning skills. Using Excel doesn't phase you and you'll have a general knowledge of costing, budgeting and financial processes, excellent data analysis and evaluation skills, with the ability to identify problems and offer recommendations.

This role has a working schedule of Tuesday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm
