If ownership over key processes, systems and improvements within a manufacturing business is what excites you then this could just be your next career opportunity.

Experiencing year on year growth since 2016, this SME precision manufacturer based in Bolton is building out its internal skills and capabilities to facilitate its ongoing growth. They’ve just agreed investment into a new ERP system which will give them better data and management information across the business and end to end supply chain, which in turn will be the driver for more improvements, cost savings and commercial opportunity identification. So to say it’s exciting times would be an understatement.

We’re looking for an ERP Project Manager and Data Analyst. The role has a number of key elements, the first being to project manage the new system, including all the manufacturing and shop data collection, drive the system usage across the business, becoming a super user in the process, and then to analyse and interpret the data to identify the improvements and automation opportunities on an ongoing basis.

To be considered we are looking for candidates that have the following

• Previous high level user experience with ERP/MRP systems within a manufacturing or engineering environment
• Experience of data analysis, data visualisation and Power BI
• IT or Systems engineering background and a good appreciation of automation tools and technologies
• An ability to work with people across all functions (production, engineering, sales, RnD, purchasing, finance), communicate effectively and extract relevant information and data

This position will provide you with a set of clear objectives but give you the autonomy to deliver these in your own way. Candidates who may not be ERP Project Managers or Data Analysts right now but have the required skills will be considered - alternative positions that may suit would be Production Planner, Production Scheduler, Supply Chain Analyst, Material Planner, Systems Engineer.
