The posting

This role is based at our head office on NETPark, County Durham TS21 3FR.

Filtronic is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance RF, microwave and millimetre-wave technologies. Our products support customers across telecommunications infrastructure, aerospace, defence, space and critical communications.

We are seeking to appoint an experienced Production Planner to join the Operations team based at our state-of-the-art production facility on NetPark, Sedgefield.

This is a key role in helping us deliver complex, high-performance RF, microwave and millimetre-wave technologies to customers operating in fast-moving and demanding markets. You will be responsible for creating, maintaining and coordinating production plans that support customer delivery, efficient use of manufacturing resources and smooth flow through production.

Working closely with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain and Project teams, you will balance customer demand, material availability, manufacturing capacity and operational priorities across multiple product lines. You will ensure that plans are realistic, visible and deliverable, while identifying and escalating risks before they impact delivery.

You will develop and maintain production plans and schedules that support customer demand and business priorities. This will include converting customer orders, demand signals and project requirements into achievable manufacturing plans, monitoring material availability and capacity, and keeping ERP/MRP planning data accurate and up to date.

You will also support daily and weekly production planning reviews, providing clear updates on priorities, risks, progress and required actions. As part of the wider Operations team, you will contribute to continuous improvement activity, helping to improve planning processes, schedule adherence, operational visibility and production flow.

Requirements

We need to see experience in production planning, manufacturing planning, scheduling, supply chain planning or materials control, ideally gained within a manufacturing, engineering, electronics or high-reliability production environment.

You should have a good working knowledge of ERP/MRP systems, strong Excel skills and a solid understanding of production flow, capacity planning, material availability and work-in-progress management. You will be organised, detail-focused and confident communicating with stakeholders across Operations, Engineering and Supply Chain.

Experience in electronics, RF, microwave, semiconductor, aerospace, defence or another advanced manufacturing environment would be advantageous, as would experience supporting NPI, engineering change or production ramp-up activity.

About you

You will be proactive, structured and calm under pressure, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. You will be comfortable identifying risks, driving actions and working collaboratively across teams to keep plans on track.

Benefits

We recognise the value of exceptional talent. That's why this role is backed by an excellent salary and benefits package.

Benefits include:

  • Salary benchmarked at the top end of the market range to attract the strongest candidates.
  • 37.5 hour working week
  • 25 days’ holiday plus public holidays, with the option to buy up to 5 additional days
  • Contributory pension scheme with up to 8% company contribution
  • Life Assurance
  • Income Protection Insurance
  • Save As You Earn (SAYE) share scheme
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) scheme
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Volunteering day
  • Learning and development opportunities
  • Hybrid working available

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.
