We are looking for a proactive and commercially minded Proactive Planner to join our Pumps, Cyclones & Valves (PCV) team in Shanghai.

In this role, you will play a key part in supporting our global sales teams by identifying opportunities to reduce lead times, improving the availability of critical components and ensuring we can respond quickly to urgent customer requirements.

Working closely with sales, procurement, engineering, order execution and key suppliers, you will anticipate demand, identify potential supply chain bottlenecks and develop planning solutions that enable faster deliveries.

Your ability to plan ahead, coordinate suppliers and secure competitive lead times will directly contribute to FLSmidth winning new business, strengthening customer relationships and delivering projects on schedule.

Your Responsibilities

  • Proactive Supply Planning: Identify critical components and long-lead-time items across the PCV product portfolio, ensuring availability to support urgent customer orders.
  • Sales Collaboration: Work closely with global sales teams to understand customer requirements, anticipate urgent demand and provide competitive delivery commitments.
  • Supplier Coordination: Engage with key suppliers to plan critical components, manage supplier capacity and secure timely delivery of materials and vendor designs.
  • Lead Time Optimisation: Identify opportunities to shorten procurement and delivery lead times, helping FLSmidth remain competitive and win business.
  • Project & Order Planning: Coordinate with project managers, engineers, procurement and order execution teams to ensure planning activities support committed delivery schedules.
  • Risk Management: Identify potential supply chain constraints, critical path activities and delivery risks, implementing proactive solutions to prevent delays.
  • Process Improvement: Support improvements to planning, sourcing and order execution processes to increase efficiency and responsiveness.
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Ensure agreed lead times and supplier commitments are communicated and reflected accurately in customer orders.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Project Management or a related discipline.
  • 3–5 years' experience in supply chain planning, procurement, production planning or project scheduling, ideally within mining, heavy industrial equipment or manufacturing.
  • Strong understanding of supply chain processes, supplier management, procurement lead times and material planning.
  • Experience identifying critical components, managing supplier constraints and improving delivery performance.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to anticipate challenges and develop practical solutions.
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, global environment.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work across sales, engineering, procurement and suppliers.
  • A proactive, commercially focused mindset with a strong sense of urgency and accountability.
  • Fluency in written and spoken English is essential.

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.
