As an Operational Planner, you’ll be at the heart of day-to-day operations. You’ll ensure projects keep running by cleverly coordinating people, capacity and priorities. No two days are the same: one day you’ll be adjusting schedules, the next you’ll be resolving a bottleneck together with production, engineering, team leaders or our branches in China, Mexico, the US and the Czech Republic.
You’ll be given plenty of freedom and responsibility to maintain an overview and look ahead. During your induction period, you’ll get to know our processes first-hand and play an active role in the implementation and testing of our new ERP system. This will enable you to build up your knowledge quickly and become a key point of contact for planning within the new system.
Your planning brings calm to the hustle and bustle. You spot where things are going wrong, think ahead and ensure colleagues know where they stand.
Are you someone who enjoys solving puzzles, asking questions and gets a buzz from a schedule that ultimately adds up? Then you’ll be a great fit for this role.
What will you be doing?
Processing project plans and capacity requests in systems such as AWL-planner, MS Project, Navision, Dynamics and Power BI;
In consultation with your team leaders, you will work out project plans and forecasts to schedule staff and, where necessary, temporary staff as effectively as possible within the available budgets, hours and priorities;
Coordinating planning and available capacity with internal departments and overseas branches;
Managing the central mailbox and handle requests in a structured manner;
You’ll ensure that all service teams are fully staffed and respond quickly when clients or projects need extra support.
Our team
You’ll be joining a young and enthusiastic team of four colleagues. We work hard, adapt quickly and help one another where needed. There’s plenty of scope to ask questions, contribute ideas and work together to improve the planning a little bit every day.
