About the company

Braintree Precision Components is a precision engineering manufacturer, part of the HEPCO Motion group. The business makes precision components for industrial customers, with a strong focus on quality and on-time delivery. The planning team sits at the centre of production, working directly with the shop floor to keep jobs moving and customer commitments met. The business is also partway through moving to Microsoft Business Central, making this a particularly good time to join.

The role

You will join a small planning team monitoring incoming sales demand and making sure the right stock is in the right place. Around 40% of your time is on the shop floor, progress-chasing batch cards and working with the production team. The rest is desk-based planning, scheduling, and system work. You’ll be central to keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly.

You’ll:

  • Monitor sales demand from HEPCO Motion and plan production to fulfil it
  • Track stock through assembly stores and earlier production stages, identifying gaps
  • Produce route cards, works orders, and requisitions for manufacture
  • Estimate machining and manufacturing times for each production operation
  • Liaise with the shop floor, customer services, and sales departments daily
  • Arrange sub-contract engineering services where required
  • Support the transition to Microsoft Business Central and contribute to ERP improvements

What you’ll bring

Essential:

  • Proven experience in a production planning or scheduling role (2–4 years)
  • Background in a manufacturing or engineering environment
  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
  • Experience using an MRP or ERP system
  • Confident communicator, at ease with both office and shop floor teams

Useful, not essential:

  • Experience with Microsoft Business Central
  • Background in engineering planning or precision components

Working arrangements

Location: Braintree, Essex | Full-time, office-based

Contract: Permanent | Full-time | 39 hours per week

Hours: Monday–Thursday 7:30am–4:00pm | Friday 7:30am–3:00pm
