Permanent staff position
Based on site
A leading print and packaging manufacturer are looking for a sharp, proactive Production Planner to keep operations running like clockwork.
As a Production Planner, you will be the heartbeat of the manufacturing floor. Scheduling jobs, balancing machine capacities, material availability, and client deadlines to create an optimised production schedule that maximises efficiency and minimises downtime.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Create, maintain, and optimise daily and weekly production schedules for our printing & finishing departments.
- Work closely with procurement to ensure materials and tooling are on-site and ready before a job hits the floor.
- Act as the vital link between Account Management, Sales, Design, and the Warehouse to communicate lead times and manage expectations.
- Rapidly adjust schedules to accommodate urgent, high-priority client requests or unexpected machine maintenance without breaking a sweat.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a Production Planner or Scheduler is essential - a background within a print, cartons, corrugated, or flexible packaging environment is highly desirable (but not essential).
- Strong proficiency with Management Information Systems (MIS) or ERP software (e.g., Tharstern, EFI, SAP) and advanced Excel skills.
- A natural collaborator who can confidently negotiate timelines with internal teams and push back constructively when necessary.
