You will be educated to A-level, HNC or have equivalent experience within engineering and have at least 3 years’ experience in a manufacturing planning environment. You will have the ability to work to tight deadlines and work calmly under pressure. Excellent organisation skills are a must and previous experience of project management would be an advantage.
