Manufacturing Scheduler / Coordinator | 18 month FTC | Leicester Based | Full-Time

An exceptional opportunity has arisen for an experienced and proactive Manufacturing Scheduler / Coordinator to join a world-class manufacturing team based in Leicester. This is a fixed-term contract, and plays a pivotal role in ensuring production runs smoothly, on time, and to the highest standards of luxury quality during a period of maternity cover.

You will act as the key link between internal and external craft workshops. If you have a keen eye for detail, a passion for high-end British craft skills, and a background in manufacturing coordination, this is the perfect challenge for you.

Key Responsibilities
  • Production Scheduling: Create, accurately maintain, and communicate a seamless production schedule for high-end furniture and lighting orders from deposit through to completion.
  • Workshop Coordination: Oversee workloads across both in-house and third-party workshops, ensuring orders are completed to standard and ready at least a week prior to shipping.
  • Quality Assurance & Inspections: Receive workshop deliveries, conduct pre-quality inspections, and schedule pre-QC site visits to remote workshops.
  • Financial & Stock Admin: Raise production purchase orders, approve high-value invoices in a timely manner, and provide accurate monthly output figures and third-party stock reports.
  • Bespoke Estimating: Provide estimated costs for custom and bespoke projects, and manage order sheets.
  • Relationship Management: Maintain strong working relationships with remote workshops and suppliers to ensure delivery timelines and quality benchmarks are achievable.
What We Are Looking For
  • Industry Experience: A minimum of 3 years’ experience in a similar scheduling or coordination role within a manufacturing environment.
  • Technical Skills: Confident working across multiple Excel files. Experience with Microsoft Office and SAP (or a similar ERP system) is an advantage.
  • Key Traits: A "can-do" attitude, self-motivated, and enthusiastic. You must possess a keen eye for detail and an appreciation for premium materials and craft skills.
  • Logistics: A full UK driving licence and a willingness to travel regularly.
What’s on Offer?
  • A competitive salary of £32,000 – £33,000.
  • Opportunity for it to become permanent.
