Job Description

Planning, coordinating, problem-solving, and keeping everything on track. Sound like your kind of job? Then we have a great opportunity for you! About The Role As a Commercial Planner, you'll be involved in our daily logistics and production planning. You'll be in regular contact with drivers, colleagues in production and logistics, and our sales team. You'll keep an eye on whether everything is running according to plan and step in when it isn't. A delayed truck or a last-minute order change? That's all part of the job here. Alongside planning, you'll support our sales colleagues with order processing and other administrative tasks. You enjoy getting things organised, you're happy to pick up the phone, and you don't lose your cool when things get busy. You're organised, proactive, and sometimes a little bold. In a good way, of course! You'll join an international team where people work hard, make decisions quickly, and fortunately, have plenty of laughs along the way. What will you be doing? You'll stay in daily contact with our truck drivers and monitor the progress of transport and deliveries. Is a delivery delayed or has the schedule changed? You'll coordinate with production, logistics, and sales to get everything back on track. You oversee logistics and production planning, making sure the right information reaches the right colleagues. You'll look beyond today and tomorrow, planning further ahead to ensure forecasts are aligned in time. You process incoming purchase and sales orders, monitor stock levels, and coordinate with the colleagues involved. You prepare and send quotations and handle other administrative tasks that come in by email or phone. You spot opportunities to improve the way we work and take action together with your colleagues. About You You like to stay organised, can easily switch between different tasks, and don't get stressed when things get busy.
