Job description

Bring your energy to Aggreko as a Global Asset Planning Manager, based in Glasgow. You'll lead the strategic planning of Aggreko's global fleet portfolio. This role sits at the centre of our global planning process, translating demand signals into actionable fleet, investment and deployment strategies that support growth across our international markets. This is not a traditional fleet management role. Instead, you'll bring strong Sales & Operations Planning (SOP), demand planning, forecasting and scenario modelling expertise to ensure the right assets are available in the right locations at the right time to support customer demand and business growth. Power without pause. Heating, cooling and oil-free air without end. We keep our customers’ worlds on. From world-class events that last a few weeks to mining operations and remote communities who rely on us for decades.

What you’ll do:

Lead global fleet planning activities, working closely with regional stakeholders to understand short, medium and long-term demand requirements. Translate demand forecasts into strategic fleet, deployment and investment plans. Build and maintain multiple planning scenarios, balancing demand, asset availability, procurement lead times and business priorities. Drive the global CapEx planning process, developing robust business cases that align fleet investment with commercial growth opportunities. Partner with Procurement, Product Management, Manufacturing and Regional Leadership teams to ensure future demand can be met effectively. Optimise asset deployment across global markets, making recommendations on transfers, redeployments and investment priorities. Analyse fleet utilisation, availability, ageing profiles and performance trends to support data-driven decision making. Influence senior stakeholders across multiple regions, confidently presenting recommendations and securing alignment on planning decisions. Lead and develop a small team while fostering strong relationships with a broad network of regional fleet leaders and business stakeholders globally. Continuously improve planning processes, tools and forecasting methodologies as Aggreko continues to scale.

You are:

An experienced demand planning, SOP, integrated business planning or supply chain planning professional. Skilled at converting demand signals into operational and investment plans. Experienced in forecasting, scenario planning, capacity planning and balancing competing business priorities. Comfortable building and presenting business cases, including investment or CapEx justifications. A strong communicator who can influence directors, senior leaders and stakeholders across a global organisation. Experienced working across international markets, regions or complex multinational operations. Commercially minded, with the ability to connect planning decisions to revenue generation and business performance. Highly analytical and data-driven, with strong Excel and reporting capabilities and experience using tools such as Power BI, planning platforms or similar analytics solutions. Either an experienced people leader or ready to step into a leadership position and develop others. Adaptable and able to operate effectively in a business where plans must remain agile and responsive to changing customer demand.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• A competitive salary and benefits package (including but not limited to pension plan, bonus scheme, and Life Assurance)
• Hybrid working
• Generous holiday entitlement, with option to 'buy' or 'sell'
• Discounts & perks
• Access to our Employee Assistance Programme, which helps promote and support a healthy lifestyle
