A well-established manufacturing business in Thirsk is looking for a Senior Material Planner to join its close-knit supply chain team. Reporting to the Operations Director, you will play a key role in leading material planning activity across the site.

  • Support new product development by sourcing materials and coordinating with R&D and project teams
  • Oversee supplier relationships, including onboarding, performance tracking, and ongoing collaboration
  • Take ownership of inventory accuracy and stock value performance
  • Use purchasing and sales history to improve planning accuracy
  • Support site-wide inventory strategies for new, existing, and phased-out products
  • Work closely with production planners to align materials with forecasts
  • Identify and mitigate supply risks proactively
  • Optimise inbound logistics and transport utilisation
  • Drive productivity improvements through tighter MRP controls
  • Establish and maintain Kanban levels at production cells
  • Collaborate with warehouse supervisors on inventory holding levels
  • Attend daily logistics meetings to ensure alignment of priorities

What We're Looking For

  • Experience: 35+ years in material planning / production / operations
  • Leadership: Comfortable working independently and guiding a small team or assistant planner
  • Systems: Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems (e.g., SAP, Sage) and strong Excel skills
  • Supply Chain Knowledge: Strong grasp of BOMs, lead times, inventory strategies, and lean methodologies
  • Analytical Mindset: Confident using data to make informed decisions
  • Communication: Able to liaise across departments and negotiate with suppliers effectively

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
