Job Description

Who are Safran Landing Systems?

We are a global leader in aircraft landing and braking systems, from commercial and business travel to military and defence fleets. Our expertise cover the entire life cycle of our products from end-to-end: design, manufacturing, maintenance and repair.
We're at the forefront of aerospace technology, creating safer, more sustainable aviation for the next generation of aerospace.

It's easy to take flying for granted, or forget the incredible amount of technical skills, capability and co-ordination required to create an aircraft. At Safran, we never take it for granted. Our people's talents and skills come together to make the feat of flying possible. Here, you can create an impact you're proud of, where you're rewarded for your dedication and willingness to Learn

As part of our Spares Production team, the Spares Shop Floor Planner will take ownership of coordinating materials, machines, and manpower to ensure smooth and efficient production. 
If you're organised, proactive, and experienced in manufacturing planning, this could be the ideal next step in your career.

You'll have opportunities to learn and progress, and with investment being made on site it's an exciting time to join our growing local team.

Looking after the people who make Safran great is a priority for us. We offer a range of benefits designed to support you, both in and outside of work.

We value your time: We have an early finish on a Friday, giving you time to recharge.
Time to unwind: Start with 25 days of holiday, plus UK Bank Holidays, and we offer options to buy or sell days to fit your needs.
Sharing in our success: We believe in rewarding your contributions with an annual bonus and share scheme options.
Planning for your future: We offer a generous pension scheme, with up to 8% matched contributions, and life assurance at 4x your salary.
Making your work life easier: Enjoy onsite parking, including EV chargers, a subsidised restaurant, bicycle storage, and shower facilities.
Flexibility that works for you: We offer a wide range of flexible benefits and working options (role dependant), enhanced maternity and family friendly benefits, because we know everyone's needs are different.

What will I be doing?

Develop and maintain detailed shopfloor schedules to meet the Production & Master Production Schedule (MPS).
Monitor production progress, identify risks or delays, and support recovery actions.
Analyse short-term load vs. capacity and work with team leads to address constraints.
Manage the full lifecycle of work orders, from release to completion, in the ERP system.
Ensure timely availability of components and coordinate with relevant departments on shortages.
Adjust plans based on non-conformances or quality issues, working closely with Quality teams.
Maintain accurate planning and master data in the ERP system.Skills Required:

Strong knowledge of production planning and MRP2 principles (e.g. APICS).
Experience using ERP systems in a manufacturing environment, ideally SAP but not essential.
Understanding of production processes and quality systems.
Analytical mindset with the ability to manage priorities and solve problems quickly.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
A proactive, results-driven attitude and the ability to adapt to change.
Proficiency with standard office software (e.g. Excel, Word, etc.).
At Safran, we understand that diversity and inclusion make teams stronger and more effective, and as an organisation, we are committed to fair and equitable employment practices for everyone.

We also know that some candidates may be put off applying for jobs where they don't meet 100% of the criteria outlined in the advert, however, we encourage you to apply if you can demonstrate a variety of skills and experiences relevant to the requirements of this role.
