Swift is proud to be partnering with a well-established and highly regarded manufacturing business in Darwen. We’re currently seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Production Planner to join their dynamic Production Team.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing and managing efficient production schedules that ensure a consistent supply of high-quality products. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to align production with customer demand, regulatory standards, and inventory strategies.

Key Responsibilities

* Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and NPD teams to incorporate promotions, product launches, and custom orders into the production plan.

* Coordinate batch manufacturing for various nicotine strengths and flavours, ensuring proper sequencing to prevent cross-contamination.

* Ensure timely availability of raw materials and packaging.

* Prepare accurate work orders and maintain batch traceability documentation.

* Schedule equipment cleaning and changeovers to maintain GMP and ISO standards.

* Support audits and product recalls with detailed production documentation.

* Monitor real-time production output and resolve any variances from the plan.

* Identify and mitigate risks such as material shortages, capacity issues, or supplier delays.

* Recommend process improvements to enhance scheduling flexibility and efficiency.

What We’re Looking For

* Experience in production planning or supply chain roles within vaping, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, or other regulated manufacturing environments.

* Strong understanding of manufacturing processes including mixing, filling, labelling, and packing.

* Familiarity with TPD regulations, product registration, and batch traceability.

* Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, advanced formulas) and ERP systems (e.g., OrderWise, SAP).

* Excellent planning, analytical, and organisational skills with strong attention to detail.

* Effective communicator with the ability to collaborate across departments.

If you're a strategic thinker with a passion for planning and process improvement, we’d love to hear from you
