  • Assist in generating shop order paperwork to support production schedules for both bases and shades.

  • Monitor daily, weekly, and monthly forecasts to ensure projected production capacity is met.

  • Track incoming goods to swiftly reserve required stock for production.

  • Utilise the internal ERP system to release newly placed customer orders into production in a timely and well-scheduled manner.

  • Provide accurate, concise updates to the sales and supply chain teams regarding expected order availability.

  • Monitor the status of production jobs in coordination with the Operations Manager to ensure on-time completion.

  • Manage and respond to queries from the planning email inbox related to order timelines and requirements.

General Responsibilities:

  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships with colleagues across departments.

  • Prioritise and manage workload efficiently in a fast-paced environment.

  • Adhere to company communication protocols, procedures, guidelines, and policies.

  • Support the team in meeting operational and service delivery targets.

  • Practice effective time management and organisational discipline.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with ERP systems and understanding of how shop/work orders interact with stock, demand, and customer orders.

  • Basic understanding of production or assembly operations preferred.

  • Exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to provide clear, concise updates.

  • Proactive, reliable, and able to work independently while maintaining alignment with team priorities.

  • Ability to thrive in a structured, process-driven environment.

What We're Looking For

Our existing Production Planner is highly organised and diligent, and we are seeking someone who can match this level of efficiency, accuracy, and professionalism.
