I'm currently working with an innovative organisation operating at the forefront of the UK space industry, developing cutting-edge satellite and space technologies for commercial and government programmes. Due to continued growth, they're looking to add a Senior Production / AIT Planner to their engineering team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in production planning, manufacturing engineering or Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT) within a highly regulated engineering environment.
The Role
You'll be responsible for planning and coordinating production and AIT activities across complex engineering programmes, ensuring projects are delivered efficiently, on schedule and to the highest quality standards.
