Production Scheduler
Yolk Recruitment are supporting a growing South Wales manufacturer with the recruitment of a Production Scheduler to join their expanding operation.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that is investing heavily in its future, expanding its manufacturing capabilities, and forecasting significant growth over the next few years. Following substantial investment in new machinery and with further expansion plans already underway, the company is looking for a Production Scheduler who can help bring greater visibility, structure, and control to a varied manufacturing environment.
Unlike traditional high-volume production environments, this role offers genuine variety. You’ll be coordinating the manufacture of multiple bespoke and batch-built products, balancing changing priorities, managing production capacity, and ensuring materials and resources are aligned to customer demand. If you enjoy problem-solving, working closely with production teams, and making a real impact on operational performance, this could be the perfect next move.
