Production Scheduler

Permanent

Gloucester

£22,000 - £27,000

Adecco Cheltenham are pleased to be recruiting for a Global Engineering company in their search for a Production Scheduler to join their Gloucester based team on a Permanent basis. Our client provides a unique product and a bespoke service to numerous clients from Automotive and Aerospace through to Architectural firms! The Production Scheduler will be a pivotal part of our client's team due to the fast paced, varied nature of the service provided: you will be working to short lead times (max 2 weeks) and constantly problem solving! Our client prides themselves on providing excellent customer service with professional results: this is a FANTASTIC opportunity for someone who thrives off problem solving and loves working in a close-knit environment!

Duties will include:

·  Maintaining and coordinating 3 production teams across the day and evening shifts. As our client operates on a made-to-order basis, you'll be simultaneously scheduling a variety of low-volume orders with the differing lead times and requirements in mind,.

·  Continual problem solving: last minute customer orders may be agreed by the Projects team on a occasional basis, meaning you'll need to creatively schedule production with short notice!

·  Internally liaising with all departments on site at all periods of the orders' production: from liaising with the Project teams to advise volume and lead-times in response to customer queries, to continually monitoring progress with the production teams to ensure lead times are met.

·  Proactively predicting and solving problems: ideally you will be able to identify potential issues in advance, so that you can proactively plan alternative options in order to prevent lead times being negatively affected.

·  Highlighting any issues which will affect lead-times and client expectations, and communicate these internally.

·  Explaining your scheduling decisions in an assertive manner to production managers when challenged or questioned.

Experience required:

·  Production planning and scheduling experience is essential. This should come from a Production or Engineering capacity, but our client may be flexible dependant on the individual.

·  You'll be commercially minded with the drive to deliver high quality products in accordance with agreed lead times.

·  A thorough working knowledge of lead-times: ideally you will have gained experience with shorter lead-times, but our client can be flexible dependant on experience.

·  The ability (and ideally experience) to schedule production across more than one production team (this is not essential).

·  A good knowledge of Excel is required.

·  Excellent time keeping skills and organisational skills is a must.

·  An understanding of the technicalities within Engineering would be highly desired, though this is not essential. Candidates with qualifications in Engineering would possess a distinct advantage!

In return our client can offer working hours of Mon-Fri 8.00am-4.30pm (our client may be flexible with hours and could offer 7.00am-3.30pm) Salary £ 22,000 - £27,000 - DEO our client maybe able to negotiate a higher salary. 25 days annual leave and annual ( Summer Bash! )

This is a FANTASTIC opportunity to join an expanding team on a Permanent basis.
