We are also happy to consider graduates with a degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, Operations or a similar discipline, provided they have strong analytical skills, good Excel ability and a genuine interest in manufacturing and planning.
Whichever route you've taken, you'll need excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills and the ability to manage changing priorities while building effective relationships with colleagues, customers and suppliers.
