Operating within a busy, fast-paced manufacturing environment, the business prides itself on delivering excellent customer service alongside quality, reliability and efficiency. They are now looking to recruit a highly organised and confident Production Planning Coordinator to join the team and play an important role in keeping customer orders and production activity running smoothly.

Working at the heart of the operation, you will coordinate customer orders from initial receipt through to production, delivery and completion, acting as a key link between customers and the Production Team.

Just as importantly, we are looking for someone who is confident, resilient and comfortable dealing with customers, including handling queries and changing priorities when things don't always go to plan. Strong communication and administration skills are essential, together with a proactive approach and the confidence to work across different departments to make sure customers receive the service they expect.
