Ensure alignment between manufacturing plans and programme schedules through active IMS engagement and regular plan updates.
Support weekly planning reviews and daily Level 0 and Level 1 meetings, monitoring progress against plan and communicating priorities for upcoming days and weeks.
Develop and populate Basis of Estimates (BOEs) for Special Projects programmes, supporting planning and bid activities.
Manage SAP production planning activities, material control processes and manufacturing demand throughout the project lifecycle.
Drive manufacturing readiness by ensuring material availability, planning accuracy and schedule alignment within SAP.
Support material management activities across all assigned projects and maintain oversight of project-specific demand requirements.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve planning, resource and material constraints.
