Reporting to the Manufacturing Manager, the Production Planner will play a critical role in ensuring the business can effectively procure, manufacture, and deliver products across all stages of the product lifecycle. This includes supporting new product development, ongoing production, and product withdrawal, while maintaining alignment with customer demand and operational capacity. Based within the operations environment, this role is responsible for planning and scheduling manufacturing activities, balancing material availability, production capacity, and customer requirements.

The Production Planner will take ownership of demand planning inputs, inventory positioning, and ERP system accuracy to ensure production plans are realistic, achievable, and aligned with business objectives. This is a highly collaborative role, working closely with Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain stakeholders to develop and maintain a balanced production plan.

• Reviewing and responding to MRP signals, ensuring materials and production plans are aligned with current and forecasted demand.
• Developing and maintaining production schedules based on material availability, capacity constraints, and customer priorities.
• Communicating clear and actionable production plans to Operations teams, while monitoring execution and supporting on‑time delivery performance.
• Maintaining accurate ERP data to support planning, scheduling, and reporting activities across the business.
• Managing product lifecycle planning within the ERP system, including new product introduction, ongoing production, and end‑of‑life transitions.
• Monitoring inventory levels and supply chain commitments, ensuring stock levels are aligned with demand and business strategy.
