• Support a fast-paced, cross-functional manufacturing environment

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in a production planning or scheduling role, ideally within FMCG, pharma, or a similarly regulated/fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Confident working with ERP/MRP systems (SAP experience desirable but not essential)
