Production Planner

We have an exciting opportunity to join the team as a Production Planner at our Alconbury site, working a 4 on 4 off, 12-hour shift pattern.

In this role, you will be responsible for planning and coordinating production activities to ensure efficient operations, excellent service levels, and minimal waste. You’ll work closely with Production, Technical and Commercial teams to keep plans accurate, achievable, and aligned to customer demand.

Key responsibilities:

• Create and manage daily production plans
• Monitor stock levels and adjust plans where required
• Work closely with key departments to ensure smooth day-to-day operations
• Respond quickly to changes in demand, supply, or operational priorities
• Support the delivery of service, efficiency, and waste reduction targets

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, has strong attention to detail, and can confidently manage changing priorities.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a good understanding of production processes
• Ideally has experience in demand planning, or planning and scheduling
• Is highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Communicates effectively across teams
• Has exposure to using Microsoft D365 (desirable)

• Opening in 2023 after the success of our Peterborough site, Alconbury Weald is already at the heart of the UK’s fresh produce supply chain. Every day, we sort, process, pack and deliver fresh, healthy produce to the UK’s leading supermarkets, so there’s a good chance the citrus, grapes and melons you buy have passed through our site.

  AMFRESH is growing fast, and so are the opportunities. With over 800 colleagues from more than 50 countries, we’re powered by diverse talent and bold ambition. We put people first, investing in training, progression and long-term careers, and helping everyone reach their full potential.
