Material planner

Introduction
Imagine yourself looking at a picture. Do you focus on the details or do you prefer to take a holistic view? Or are you one of those who can’t choose between these two approaches? Who rather combine your curiosity, analytical side and your sense of details in finding the best solution in every case? We are looking for a person who knows that the key to business success is curiosity and drive to take on new possibilities and who is able to look at the bigger picture as well as going down in details.


Position description
As a material planner in the Vara plant you will be responsible for the procurement of material based on proposals from our MRP-system related to your specific suppliers. You will also be responsible for monitor potential material shortages as well as sending delivery plans to the suppliers. Another important part of your role will be to participate and contribute on meetings, work with continuous improvements and develop your suppliers and processes.
You will provide a high level of customer service by ensuring parts are ordered and delivered on-time to meet production's build requirements. You will give regular, accurate and timely feedback to relevant stakeholders on delivery issues. In our MRP-system you will verify and secure correct parameter settings and master data.


You will be a part of the planning and procurement department, an engaged team of logistic professionals that are committed to the needs of both internal and external customers. In Penta we believe that high performance comes from employee engagement, diversity and having fun at work.
In the Vara plant, a part of the Global Operations & Quality, 300 employees manufacture marine and stationary diesel engines. Vara is also the distribution center for the European market.


About you
You hold a university degree within logistic or equivalent and have work experience within industrial manufacturing related to procurement or planning.
