£50,000–£60,000 - based on-site in High Wycombe
A pivotal position at the centre of operations, where your planning decisions directly shape output, delivery and commercial performance. This is a role with genuine influence. You will act as the operational control tower, bringing together demand, capacity, materials and labour across two UK sites.
It is fast paced and hands on, suited to someone who enjoys turning complexity into clarity and keeping things moving when pressure builds. If you tend to be the person people rely on when plans need tightening or recovering, this will feel like a natural step.
There is real scope to make your mark. From sharpening scheduling accuracy to improving visibility and driving better outcomes across teams, your impact will be felt quickly and visibly.
