Production Planner

A leading print and packaging manufacturer are looking for a sharp, proactive Production Planner to keep operations running like clockwork.

• Create, maintain, and optimise daily and weekly production schedules for our printing & finishing departments.
• Work closely with procurement to ensure materials and tooling are on-site and ready before a job hits the floor.
• Act as the vital link between Account Management, Sales, Design, and the Warehouse to communicate lead times and manage expectations.
• Rapidly adjust schedules to accommodate urgent, high-priority client requests or unexpected machine maintenance without breaking a sweat.

• Proven experience as a Production Planner or Scheduler is essential - a background within a print, cartons, corrugated, or flexible packaging environment is highly desirable (but not essential)
• Strong proficiency with Management Information Systems (MIS) or ERP software (e.g., Tharstern, EFI, SAP) and advanced Excel skills.
• A natural collaborator who can confidently negotiate timelines with internal teams and push back constructively when necessary.

If you have a passion for manufacturing, an eye for detail, and the drive to keep our business moving forward, we want to hear from you.
