Inc Consulting are working with a Sheffield‑based manufacturing business to recruit a dedicated and detail‑driven Capacity Planner.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a high‑precision, fast‑paced environment where operational excellence, strong planning capability and cross‑functional collaboration are central to success.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain achievable production schedules for finished and semi‑finished products, ensuring delivery of the site MPS and exceptional customer service.
Utilise MRP, master data, and planning tools to translate demand signals (MPS, MRP, Kanban) into finite schedules for bottleneck and constrained resources.
Work closely with operational stakeholders to review, agree and optimise production plans, supporting OEE, throughput, and overall efficiency.
Produce and update work‑to lists, trackers and planning documentation to ensure full visibility of WIP and schedule adherence.
Manage ERP‑related activities, including raising production jobs, allocating materials, maintaining data integrity and acting on MRP messages.
Attend daily operational reviews, proactively addressing schedule issues and maintaining strong communication with internal teams and customer representatives.

Person Specification

Proven experience in production planning or scheduling within a fast‑paced, precision engineering or manufacturing environment.
Strong analytical and numerical skills, with the ability to spot issues early and resolve or escalate appropriately.
Excellent organisation and attention to detail, capable of managing multiple tasks under pressure.
Confident communicator with the ability to work collaboratively across manufacturing, engineering, and wider business teams.
Competent user of ERP systems, alongside strong Excel and general IT capability.
High‑energy, enthusiastic team player with a proactive, continuous‑improvement mindset.
APICS certification (desirable).

What’s on Offer

A competitive salary and benefits package is available, aligned with experience. You’ll be joining a highly respected manufacturing organisation that values continuous improvement, strong planning capability and operational excellence. This is a site‑based role with long‑term development potential for the right individual.

We are committed to providing a fair and inclusive recruitment process. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process, please inform your consultant.
