Elevation Recruitment Group is proud to be partnering with a growing West Yorkshire manufacturer to recruit a Production Planner at their Halifax site.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual looking to establish themselves within production planning and operations. Our client has a strong track record of developing talent from the ground up, and this role has been created with genuine progression in mind.

The Opportunity

Our client is a well-established manufacturer with a collaborative culture and a clear commitment to investing in its people. You won't be thrown in at the deep end; you'll be supported, trained, and developed into a confident planner who understands the full manufacturing cycle.

What the Role Involves

• Creating and maintaining production schedules in line with customer demand
• Coordinating with purchasing to ensure materials are available when needed
• Working alongside manufacturing teams to identify and resolve scheduling issues
• Updating and maintaining accurate planning data across internal systems
• Producing reports to support operational decision-making
• Contributing to continuous improvement activity within the planning function

What Elevation Are Looking for on Behalf of Our Client

• Educated to A-Level, HNC/HND, or degree level in a relevant discipline — Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, Manufacturing, Logistics, or Operations
• Strong organisational skills and a methodical approach to problem-solving
• Confident with data and comfortable working in Excel
• A clear communicator who works well across teams
• Proactive, eager to learn, and genuinely motivated to build a career in planning
• Prior experience in a manufacturing, logistics, or production environment is advantageous but not a requirement

What's on Offer

• £30,000 – £33,000 per annum
• Structured induction and ongoing development programme
• Exposure to all areas of the manufacturing operation
• Genuine long-term progression within a growing business
• A supportive team environment with experienced mentors around you
