About the Role

We're recruiting for an experienced Production Planner to join a well-established FMCG manufacturer at their Runcorn site. This is a permanent, fully on-site role within a small, close-knit planning team, working alongside a Planning Supervisor and collaborating closely with Material Planners based internationally.

• Genuinely permanent role in a stable, established manufacturing business
• Matched pension scheme (4-10%)
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Perkbox employee benefits platform
• Join a small, supportive team of four

The Role

• Own and manage day-to-day production planning and scheduling across the site
• Work closely with Material Planners to ensure smooth, joined-up supply into production
• Coordinate across supply chain and production functions to keep output on track and issues resolved quickly
• 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)
• Strong Excel skills
• Comfortable working within an international, cross-functional team
• Full right to work in the UK (this role is not able to offer visa sponsorship)
• Based within a commutable distance of Runcorn (Cheshire, South Lancashire, Manchester, or Merseyside)
