We're looking for a Material Planner to join a busy supply chain team based in Desford.
This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in material planning, supply chain, logistics, customer service or operations. Previous Material Planning experience is useful, but not essential - what's most important is that you're analytical, proactive and confident dealing with problems and different stakeholders.
What you'll be doing:
Managing material and customer requirements to ensure supply is maintained.
Expediting and de-expediting orders where needed.
Identifying and resolving supply risks before they impact production.
Working with suppliers, customers and internal teams to resolve issues.
Managing backorders and supporting the reduction of premium freight costs.
Analysing data to identify problems and opportunities for improvement.
Supporting root cause analysis and continuous improvement activities.
