Materials Planner

A Materials Planner plays a key role in ensuring that manufacturing and production processes run smoothly by making sure that the necessary materials and components are available when needed. In this role, you will monitor inventory levels, coordinate with suppliers, and work closely with production teams to forecast demand and schedule deliveries. You will use specialised software to track orders and shipments, resolve shortages or delays, and help to minimise costs by avoiding overstocking or understocking materials. Materials Planners are essential for maintaining efficient production lines and meeting customer deadlines, making this a vital position in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and food manufacturing.
