Job Description

Supply Chain Planner / Supply Chain Administrator

Location: Birmingham (B62) Salary: £28,000 – £32,000 per annum (DOE) Hours: Mon–Thu 08:00–17:00 | Fri 08:00–14:00 (early finish!) Contract: Full-time, Permanent

About the Business

Join a large multinational manufacturing business with decades of success supplying products across the UK and Ireland. Known for innovation, reliability, and internal progression, this organisation offers a stable career path within a supportive and growing team.

The Role

As a Supply Chain Assistant, you will work closely with the Supply Manager and play a key role in ensuring the smooth flow of goods from UK suppliers. This is a fast-paced, detail-focused position where no two days look the same. You won’t just be ordering stock — you’ll be analysing trends, predicting demand, and keeping operations running like clockwork.

Key Responsibilities

  • Forecasting & Stock Planning: Analyse data, trends, lead times, and demand to calculate accurate stock requirements.
  • Order Processing: Raise purchase orders via the ERP system, manage acknowledgements, and track progress through to goods receipt.
  • Supplier Coordination: Liaise with UK suppliers to resolve price queries, confirm delivery dates, and coordinate shipments and collections.
  • Data Management: Maintain arrival dates, ensure ERP accuracy, and update key supply chain information.
  • Reporting: Produce weekly reports for internal teams and sales agents.
  • General Support: Assist the Supply Manager with administrative tasks and ad-hoc projects.

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy structure, accuracy, and working at pace. Ideally, you are:

  • A strong administrator with exceptional attention to detail
  • Confident with numbers and comfortable interpreting data and trends
  • Highly organised, proactive, and able to prioritise effectively
  • An excellent communicator who builds strong working relationships
  • Self-motivated and reliable, with a desire to grow in a supply chain environment

Requirements

  • Previous administrative experience (supply chain or procurement exposure is a bonus)
  • Strong IT and ERP skills
  • Ability to work efficiently in a busy office environment
