Project & Manufacturing Planner | Nelson | £35,000 | Sugden Ltd
When projects fall behind, the problem usually started weeks earlier. Components not ordered, drawings still in progress, or the oversight of a potential delay.
Sugden Ltd, is part of the wider Baldwin Engineering Group who have experienced significant growth in recent years. As a result, they need a key player to contribute to the coordinating activities across projects, manufacturing, procurement and stores.
What you'll be doing
You'll build a clear picture of what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and what could prevent it from happening.
You'll be responsible for:
Building and maintaining project and manufacturing timelines
Creating and issuing manufacturing work orders
Keeping MRP information accurate and aligned with what's happening in production
Coordinating internal and subcontracted manufacturing, ensuring drawings, materials, and components are available when required.
But this isn't just about maintaining a plan. You'll be expected to look ahead, identify risks and give the wider team enough warning to do something about them.
That will include:
Identifying material shortages, capacity issues, subcontractor delays and other risks
Supporting procurement to keep materials and components on schedule
Monitoring progress and highlighting where delivery dates could be affected
Improving planning processes, Excel reporting and communication between departments
What you'll need
Experience in production planning, project coordination or a similar role. Ideally in a manufacturing or engineering environment.
Good knowledge of MRP systems and some exposure to purchasing/procurement
Strong Excel skills and excellent attention to detail
The ability to manage priorities, identify risks and confidently chase information
Experience reading engineering drawings, Progress Plus or a project/planning qualification would be useful but isn't essential.
