An ever-evolving heritage. A truly exciting future. Two of the world’s most iconic brands. Jaguar Land Rover is revered across the globe. Continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and redefining the benchmark for excellence, we set the standards others want to follow. We want to keep it that way too. Which is where you join the journey.

WHAT TO EXPECT

When it comes to the future, our Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) team is planning it today. Regularly working up to three years ahead of production, they help translate, plan and implement Product Development outputs into vehicle manufacture, transforming our ambitious plans into tangible and exhilarating realities.
From the luxuriously agile Jaguar F-TYPE to the innovative CX-17, our vehicles – famed for the revolutionary technologies they employ – are amongst some of the most desired and revered in the world today. Your constant challenge, working as part of our diverse and multi-skilled AME team, will be to ensure our iconic brands continue to captivate the world tomorrow.

Manpower Planning is an essential part of the Manufacturing Business Office and are responsible for identifying all manpower requirements across Jaguar Land Rover vehicle assembly plants and providing detailed hourly and salaried headcount analysis which is used to identify and support current budget and future plans.

We are responsible for the identification of Basic Minute Value (BMV) and Hours Per Car (HPC) targets for all new model programmes, status reporting of BMV/HPC on all models up to Job 1 with a heavy emphasis on Design for Assembly.  We input into the Harbour report on behalf of Jaguar Land Rover and carry out all the analysis required so that data provided by the report can be used in its most effective manner.

As the Manpower Planning Manager, you’ll take over the existing Castle Bromwich Manpower Planning department, working closely with Castle Bromwich Manufacturing Operations, HR, and Finance to achieve and track the manning requirements for Castle Bromwich Vehicle Operations. You’ll also lead Industrial Engineering elements of the introduction of all New Models and Model Years into Castle Bromwich.  

Working cross functionally with Product Engineering, AME Process, Plant Launch, and Materials Planning and Logistics, you’ll be evaluating new model BMV / HPC from Verification Build (VB) to Job 1 across and deliver lean allocations to support LEAP targets.  You’ll also highlight BMV opportunities to relevant stakeholders and track progress to support LEAP targets.  Finally, you’ll also generate Annual Business Plans, Annual budget and monthly forecast data, and will create manning variance reports and provide analysis.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Alongside a manufacturing or engineering design background, you’ll need to have practical experience of Industrial Engineering tools and techniques and experience of using Lean tools and techniques to drive improvement.  Experience of launching a new product or service would also be beneficial.

You’ll be able to work in a fast-moving environment and to tight deadlines owing to your excellent analytical skills and the ability to focus on the key issues while processing large amounts of data. Assertive and confident in your demeanour, you’ll be quick to build good rapport, also drawing on your past experience of directly leading teams.

You’ll have previously applied your strategic thinking whilst managing projects, and you’ll be able to generate ideas as effectively as you present to stakeholders at all levels. Ideally, you’ll have a good working knowledge of financial budgeting and management processes and will be confident in your use of Microsoft Office, especially MS Excel.

Finally, you’ll need to be comfortable with regular UK travel and occasional overseas travel, and you’ll hold a valid driving licence.

BENEFITS

Bring all this to the home of premium innovation, and you will find the opportunities to further your career with a world-class team. Our employees have access to a privilege car purchase scheme, membership of a competitive pension plan, performance related bonus scheme and 26 days holiday entitlement. All this and more makes Jaguar Land Rover the perfect place to continue your journey.
