Master Scheduler
Sheffield | Regulated Manufacturing | Permanent
Up to £44,000 base salary
Elevation Recruitment Group is working exclusively with a well-established regulated manufacturer based in Sheffield to appoint an experienced Master Scheduler. This is a fantastic opportunity for a scheduling or planning professional ready to step into a leadership role, taking ownership of longer-term, strategic production planning while managing a small team of two.
The Role
As Master Scheduler, you will move beyond day-to-day reactive scheduling to develop robust, longer-term production plans that balance capacity, demand, and regulatory requirements. You'll lead and develop a team of two schedulers/planners, and act as the primary point of contact for the site's ERP system, ensuring data integrity and driving best practice in its use across the planning function.
