If you enjoy solving problems, juggling schedules, and using data to keep things running smoothly – this could be the perfect role to launch your career!

What You’ll Be Doing:
You’ll become an important part of our client’s production planning team, helping keep everything on track across their Dry Bulk and Wet Bulk operations. It’s a hands‑on, get‑stuck‑in role with great exposure to the entire food manufacturing operation.

In a nutshell, you’ll be:

  • Updating and maintaining production plans using data.

  • Good communication skills – you’ll be chatting with managers, directors, and sometimes customers.
  • The ability to stay organised even when there’s lots going on.
  • Your own car – the site isn’t accessible by reliable public transport, so you’ll need to be able to drive to work.

How You’ll Make an Impact – Every day, your work will directly influence:

  • Whether their production schedules run like clockwork.
  • How efficiently orders move through their system.
  • The accuracy of their delivery dates.
  • Customer satisfaction and overall operational flow.
