“We haven’t done it right for a very long time”

How does the chance to build a planning process from the ground up sound?

And when I say the group up, I mean it. It’s not just a buzzword; they genuinely don’t have a set way of planning which is why they need you.

To a lot of people, this might sound too challenging, so if that’s the case then it’s probably not for you. If you’re still interested though, keep reading.

With recent growth and an ERP implementation that isn’t being used effectively, you’d be joining this manufacturing business as a Planning Manager to create a new framework that’ll make things run a lot smoother.

Obviously, you’ll be a “go-getter” who can handle standing on their own two feet, though don’t take that to mean you’ll be unsupported (the culture here is second to none).

They do well at the minute, but have the potential to do so much better, and with the right plans in place, you’ll help them to win some really big opportunities that are almost within reach.

You’ll be working closely with a new Ops Manager and Planning Coordinator, who both have decent knowledge, so you won’t be flying solo, but you’ll be the specialist and will have the freedom to build the process your way.

Here’s what would be ideal from their perspective:

• Experience of Epicor/implementing an ERP system
• Previous experience of starting a planning function from scratch
• Familiarity with SIOP
• Aerospace background/experience
   

What’s in it for you?

• Complete autonomy to develop a new way of working
• Buy in from everybody (that’s right, no pushback) across the business
• Opportunities to help the company win more business; more progress for them means more for you
• Closeknit, supportive culture with open minded business leaders and a longstanding team
• The opportunity to make a real impact in a business that’s been going for more than 100 years

Yes, it’s going to be a challenge, but with hard work comes great rewards, and you’ll likely see the benefits pretty quickly.

They’re in Sheffield, and salary is around £40-48k DOE, though there’ll probably be some flex for the right candidate. Get in touch if you want to know more.
