The Opportunity
I’m working with a well-established FMCG manufacturer in West Lothian who are looking to bring in an experienced Senior Production Planner to strengthen their planning function.
This is a key role in the business — you’ll be right at the centre of operations, ensuring production runs smoothly, efficiently, and in line with customer demand. It’s initially a 6-month contract, but there is a genuine long-term opportunity for the right person.
If you enjoy being the person who keeps everything moving and thrives in a fast-paced environment, this is worth a serious look.
What You’ll Be Doing
  * Developing and managing detailed production plans across multiple lines
  * Balancing demand, capacity, and materials to hit OTIF targets
  * Working closely with Operations, Supply Chain, and Procurement teams
  * Managing stock levels, minimising waste, and improving efficiencies
  * Responding to changing priorities and resolving planning issues quickly
  * Driving continuous improvement within the planning process
What We’re Looking For
  * Proven experience in a Production Planning role within FMCG or manufacturing
  * Strong understanding of supply chain and production flow
  * Experience using SAP
  * Excellent organisation and problem-solving skills
  * Ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the business
  * Someone who can challenge, influence, and bring structure
Why This Role?
  * Opportunity to step into a senior-level planning role with real impact
  * Fast-paced FMCG environment where no two days are the same
  * Strong chance of securing a permanent position
  * Supportive and collaborative team environment
