Planning Coordinator

With 3 promotions in 6 months, now the contract review/planning department needs your support to move the business to the next level!

Whilst a lot of companies struggled during Covid, Brexit and the steel shortage, this one has been going from strength to strength and there's no sign of slowing down.

Based in Kingswinford, this site is part of a global multi-location group currently turning over in excess of GBP200 million per year.

They ve built up a fantastic reputation of being the Go to company in their industry.

Their customer service is impeccable, and you can tell they have strong partnerships built on trust, respect, and results.

They are outperforming ALL of their competitors that tells you a bit about their training and systems.

You know as Planning Coordinator that contract review & planning work hand in hand, in some businesses this is separated but by keeping them in one team full control is maintained at all times, there is no chasing another department to make sure something has been ordered or no chasing planning to make sure your job is in line because you and your very experienced colleague will do this together.

When the order comes in your thought process is:

• Can we manufacture in-house? What s machines need to be used? What s their capacity?
• Are we going to subcontract elements of the work?
• What Materials do we need? Where will you source them?
• What process does the metal need to go through to achieve the desired outcome?
• What is the timescale?

As a planning Coordinator you will be used to a fast-paced manufacturing environment where you are juggling lots of parts, making sure that they all drop into the right place at the right time.

You love speaking to suppliers, always making sure you get the best deal for the company, you know how to get what you want to achieve from your shop floor too!

As Planning Coordinator your admin is very strong, you make sure that every conversation is logged, and everything is processed and visible onto the companies MRP system.

You are joining a business who are part of a bigger group and promoted from within, your predecessor has been promoted, so what could this mean for your career?

Working in a small team means that you are never just a number, your ideas are listened to and embraced!

They have built a great team that you can be part of, I ve known these guys for a long time and was there with them when they bought in their first member of staff, together we have managed to talented professionals from the industry as well as developing and nurturing people who didn t even know what the product looking like before they started.

This role might be a step up for you in a bigger team, you might be looking for some autonomy and the chance to grow, you will get that here these guys invest in their people, when you become part of the team that s your open door to a career rather than just another job.

We all love Fridays, who doesn t? You ll be finishing early every other Friday which means more time with the family or friends.

You will be rewarded with a competitive salary GBP24k - GBP32k and a company bonus scheme.

Option 1 would be for you to come from the world of fasteners or engineered components, this is a role that needs you to hit the ground running! However, with some training your aerospace/automotive or machined component background could also work.

If you are reading this as a Planning Coordinator or planning engineer, looking for a higher salary than advertised then it s still worth a chat, they want to invest in the right people to take the business to the next level.
