This role will suit someone who enjoys solving complex scheduling and thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

You'll Bring

  • Experience in production planning, scheduling or operational coordination from within a manufacturing environment
  • Strong analytical skills and an eye for identifying capacity constraints and workflow improvements
  • Outstanding communication skills
  • Experience with ERP systems and manufacturing data would be highly regarded

At Davin Industries, you'll become part of a business built on quality, innovation and continuous improvement.

If you're a planner at heart, enjoy bringing order to complexity, and get genuine satisfaction from seeing a production schedule come together seamlessly, we'd love to hear from you.
