Whether it's ultra-complex or ultra-precise solutions, we are proud of what we do and what we deliver.\"Do you want to discover together what is possible? Can you keep an overview under pressure and stay calm when an urgent order disrupts the planning? Are you as comfortable behind the ERP screen as you are visible on the shop floor, ensuring that planning and practice always seamlessly align for our customers in the high-tech market? Then start as a Planner at NTS Eindhoven and let's make it possible together!

Job description

As a Planner within the Business Unit Advanced Analytics of NTS Eindhoven, you are responsible for the daily and medium‑term production planning. You ensure that all orders are optimally scheduled and accurately coordinate lead times, delivery times, and priorities with our customers in the high-tech market.

You work closely with Production Management, Purchasing, and Sales, and identify bottlenecks in material supply or capacity early on. For urgent orders, you assess the possibilities, initiate accelerations where necessary, and closely monitor progress in the ERP system.

Part of your work takes place in the heart of the operation: on the production floor, you have a good view of the daily practice, discuss progress, and can quickly adjust where necessary.

This position is an excellent first step within NTS. With the right experience and development, you may be able to grow into a role as a Logistics Engineer, where structural process improvement becomes even more central.

Furthermore, your tasks include:

• Setting up, monitoring, and optimizing the planning process in the ERP system for production orders
• Planning and managing short and medium‑term capacity and material supply
• Assessing, incorporating, and monitoring urgent orders, including initiating changes or accelerations in the production process
• Analyzing the weekly planning and advising production management on (un)foreseen bottlenecks
• Identifying and resolving bottlenecks in material supply, in close consultation with Purchasing
• Understanding logistical parameters such as safety stocks and order quantities, and identifying when these need to be adjusted to ensure or improve delivery reliability
• Being visible and approachable on the shop floor when necessary, to quickly coordinate with operations and adjust the planning directly

Requirements

We are looking for a proactive Planner who does not settle for 'sufficient' but always strives for continuous improvement:

• HBO level of education in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, or a similar field
• Experience in a similar role within a technical production environment is a plus
• driven starters with a relevant logistics or supply chain study background are also invited to apply
• Experience with or strong affinity for ERP systems (experience with Navision is a big plus)
• Good Excel skills and a structured, data‑driven way of working
• Strong communication skills in Dutch and English, both verbally and in writing
• Resilient and customer‑oriented, with enough communication skills to act as a full‑fledged conversation partner towards management and colleague departments
• Pragmatic and hands‑on, with the willingness to step onto the shop floor where necessary to thoroughly understand the practice

Your benefits

At NTS, we combine our passion for technology with innovative solutions for complex challenges. You will have the freedom and trust to fully utilize and develop your talents in a dynamic and energetic environment. We invest in both technology and you as a future colleague!

With this challenge, we offer the following benefits:

• Salary ranging from €3,500 to €4,000 gross per month, depending on experience and qualifications
• Over 40 days off: 27 vacation days and 13 ADV days with a full time position
• Personal development and growth opportunities, for example through training and education
• Remote work arrangement: 1 day of telecommuting per week with a net allowance of €2.40 per day
• Annual discretionary budget of €150 gross, usable for vitality, bike plan, or gym via the Alleo app
• Travel allowance of €0.21 per kilometer (max. 50 km one way) or full reimbursement of public transport costs
• Excellent pension scheme via PME
• Laptop and mobile phone
• Free fresh fruit at work
