Job description

At Prodrive we believe there’s no limit to what can be achieved when the brightest minds come together. Joining one focused and driven team, you will challenge boundaries in order to change the game for our customers. We are the world’s leading independent motorsport company and the business behind some of the greatest names and achievements in motorsport over the last 40 years. Our skilled Technicians, Mechanics, Fabricators and Engineers work together every step of the way to design, build and run elite competition cars on the track and off-road across the globe.

We have an opportunity for a Senior Operations and Planning Analyst to plan capacity and work flow through build areas, ensuring that there is sufficient capacity to meet car build and sales demand and that items are produced by the required date. You will play a key role in ensuring timely and accurate processing of all ERP (IFS) transactions and associated activity, enabling Supply Chain and Operations to procure parts and ensure they are available to the build team when required.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with the Program teams to understand requirements for car and component production on a rolling 6 – 12 months basis.
• Create build plans that meet Program requirements, balancing the work through the year to enable efficient operations in terms of headcount and facilities.
• Process shop-orders, ensuring orders are managed through the booking in and out process using the company’s ERP system (IFS), Excel and company helpdesk software.
• Ensure shop-order content is accurate for any particular job.
• Produce shortage reports and liaise with all other stakeholders within the business regarding the supply of parts or the delivery of any orders processed internally.
• Work with suppliers to ensure the timely supply of components.
• Assist in expediting parts to the build areas, liaising with the purchasing department, inspection and stores as required.
• Ensure all errors and discrepancies are investigated thoroughly and the relevant individuals are informed i.e. Supervisor and Buyer.
• Carry out any other administrative duties as requested by the department management team.
• Be fully conversant with the Company computer system in all areas relating to the workshops.
• Assist project management with any project requirements.
• Work across a range of Motorsport projects.
• Raise orders onto the company ERP IFS system.

Who are we looking for?

Our ideal candidate will have previous experience in a similar role, either at a Senior level or looking to step up. You will be computer literate and proficient in Microsoft packages, including Excel. Organisation and prioritisation skills are essential, along with excellent customer service and a professional approach. Previous experience using IFS would be advantageous but not essential as full training will be given.

What can we offer you?

• An attractive salary which will grow in line with your ongoing development and impact
• 25 days holiday (which increases with long service) with an opportunity to purchase up to 15 extra days
• Training opportunities for continuing professional development
