About the Role:

Based at our Castlemaine manufacturing site, the Site Supply & Integration Planner coordinates production, external manufacturing, material movements and short-term workforce requirements across the site. You will create, maintain and communicate practical plans that align production demand, work in progress, supplier schedules, system data and stakeholder priorities.

This is a broad, hands-on planning role with exposure across multiple planning horizons. Working closely with Operations, Technical, Finance, People & Performance and the wider Supply Chain Planning team, you will identify risks early, translate complex information into clear actions and help strengthen reliable, repeatable planning processes across the site.

Responsibilities:

• Develop short and long-term production plans that balance demand, material availability and manufacturing capacity.
• Coordinate third-party manufacturing schedules, work in progress, material movements, system updates and supplier communication.
• Support short-term workforce planning by communicating labour requirements, tracking recruitment allocations and aligning site priorities.
• Prepare planning reports, data extracts and commentary for supply planning and broader integrated business planning processes.
• Maintain accurate production and supply planning data in SAP ECC and SAP APO.
• Monitor service, inventory, cost and production risks, escalating significant issues through the appropriate channels.
• Maintain and improve Excel-based planning tools to increase visibility, consistency and continuity across the planning function.
• Participate in daily planning routines and weekly allocation meetings, following through on actions and supporting cross-functional alignment.
• Contribute to continuous improvement and safe, environmentally responsible work practices across the Castlemaine site.

About You

• Strong understanding of production and manufacturing processes gained within a large-scale manufacturing environment; food manufacturing exposure is preferred.
• Experience coordinating logistics and third-party manufacturing activities, including scheduling and the movement of goods, materials and WIP through the production plan.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, with the capability to maintain, analyse and improve planning tools, reporting and data outputs.
• Experience using an ERP system in a manufacturing or supply planning environment; SAP ECC and SAP APO exposure is highly regarded.
• Understanding of production WIP and how material availability, movement and constraints affect production planning and execution.
• Exposure to IBP, BOMs, master data or other manufacturing and supply planning systems will be advantageous.
• A practical problem solver who can work through ambiguity, changing priorities and competing service, inventory, labour and cost considerations.
• Strong communicator and collaborator, able to build effective relationships across Operations, Finance, Supply Chain, Technical, People & Performance and external partners.
• A resilient, team-first approach with the willingness to jump in, learn quickly, step outside your comfort zone and take ownership of new responsibilities.
• Must be based in, or able to work from, our Castlemaine manufacturing site.
