Production Planner
North Tyneside
£32-35K (Dependent on Experience)
Permanent staff position
Based onsite
A leading print and packaging manufacturer are looking for a sharp, proactive Production Planner to keep operations running like clockwork.
As a Production Planner, you will be the heartbeat of the manufacturing floor. Scheduling jobs, balancing machine capacities, material availability, and client deadlines to create an optimised production schedule that maximises efficiency and minimises downtime.
What Youll Be Doing
Create, maintain, and optimise daily and weekly production schedules for our printing & finishing departments.
Work closely with procurement to ensure materials and tooling are on-site and ready before a job hits the floor.
Act as the vital link between Account Management, Sales, Design, and the Warehouse to communicate lead times and manage expectations.
Rapidly adjust schedules to accommodate urgent, high-priority client requests or unexpected machine maintenance without breaking a sweat.
What Were Looking For
Proven experience as a Production Planner or Scheduler is essential - a background within a print, cartons, corrugated, or flexible packaging environment is highly desirable (but not essential)
Strong proficiency with Management Information Systems (MIS) or ERP software (e.g., Tharstern, EFI, SAP) and advanced Excel skills.
A natural collaborator who can confidently negotiate timelines with internal teams and push back constructively when necessary.
If you have a passion for manufacturing, an eye for detail, and the drive to keep our business moving forward, we want to hear from you. Apply today with your updated CV.
