Assembly, machining, materials, suppliers - you'd hold the whole picture, not just a piece of it.

Our client designs and manufactures precision engineering components for motor sport and other high-performance sectors. They need a Supply Chain Manager to run planning from end to end: production scheduling, material availability, supplier delivery and stock, all working together rather than in silos.

You'll:

• Own the schedule across mechanical assembly and machining operations
• Convert MRP data into workable purchase and production plans
• Stay ahead of supplier delivery, lead times and shortages
• Weigh stock cover against working capital
• Sequence CNC jobs to keep machines running and changeovers tight
• Track delivery performance and inventory accuracy, and fix what's slipping

You'll need:

• Solid planning or supply chain background in engineering or manufacturing
• Strong MRP/ERP capability and confident Excel skills
• A track record managing supplier schedules and material flow
• Good analytical judgement and the communication skills to keep different teams pulling the same way

Mechanical assembly or CNC planning experience is a bonus, as is APICS/CPIM or CIPS.

A genuinely end-to-end role, not planning boxed into one corner of the business.
