The Company
Our client is a successful medium size, fast growing business in the bulk lubricant and chemicals industry. Due to continued growth, they are now looking for a Supply Chain Planner. This is a hands‐on, end‐to‐end role blending planning, coordination, and day‐to‐day execution—ideal for a self‐directed planner who's comfortable working autonomously across analytical and operational tasks.
The Opportunity
In this role you'll support end‐to‐end supply planning and execution to ensure optimal product availability while balancing cost, service levels, and operational constraints. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders (operations, customer service, finance) and external partners (suppliers, freight forwarders, customs agents, transport providers, warehouse partners) to keep product moving and risks managed.
