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.
