Production Engineer - Planning and Coordination (832601) Sutton-In-Ashfield, England
Apply with Indeed
We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established and highly successful engineering design and manufacturing business that delivers complex, bespoke products into a demanding industrial environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for a mechanically minded Production Planner or Junior Manufacturing Engineer to join a fast-paced operation where no two builds are the same.
Unlike high-volume production environments, this role involves coordinating low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing, requiring strong problem-solving, technical understanding, and close collaboration with engineering and production teams.
The Role of Production Engineer - Planning & Coordination:
You’ll play a key role in ensuring the smooth flow of materials, labour, and work through the manufacturing process.
- Plan and coordinate the flow of materials and labour across fabrication, machining, and assembly areas
- Create and manage work orders, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and production routes from engineering drawings and project requirements
- Develop and maintain daily and weekly production schedules, adapting to changing priorities
- Work closely with engineering, production, and stores teams to resolve technical and build-related challenges
- Ensure all production systems (MRP/ERP) are accurately maintained and updated
- Support efficient stock control and material availability across the business
- Contribute to continuous improvement, workflow efficiency, and on-time delivery
The Role of Production Engineer - Planning & Coordination is ideal for someone with a background in mechanical or manufacturing engineering who enjoys working in a technically challenging environment.
You will have:
- Experience within a manufacturing or engineering environment
- Understanding of production planning, scheduling, and MRP / ERP systems
- Experience working with BOMs, work orders, or production documentation
- Ability to interpret or work from engineering drawings or technical specifications (advantageous)
- Knowledge of fabrication, machining, or assembly processes (beneficial)
- Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally
- This role is best suited to candidates with a technical or engineering background. It is not a purely administrative or non-technical coordination position.
Do you want to:
- Work on complex, bespoke engineering projects – not repetitive production
- Gain exposure across engineering, manufacturing, and operations
- Develop your career within a supportive and technically strong team
- Be part of a business where your input has a direct impact on production success
