Production Scheduler
Cambridgeshire
Graduate / Entry-Level Opportunity

At The Collective Network, we're partnering with a well-established manufacturing business in Cambridgeshire that is looking to appoint a Production Scheduler to join their Supply Chain team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate or entry-level candidate looking to build a long-term career in supply chain, operations, or production planning. If you're analytical, organised, and keen to develop within a fast-paced environment, this could be the ideal first step.

The Opportunity
Reporting to the Supply Chain Manager, you'll play a key role in coordinating production schedules and ensuring customer orders are delivered on time and in full. You'll gain hands-on experience working cross-functionally with manufacturing, materials planning, customer care, and transport teams - giving you excellent exposure across the wider business.
Full training and support will be provided, making this role well-suited to ambitious graduates or candidates with some early career experience in operations, logistics, or planning.

Key Responsibilities

• Creating and maintaining production schedules to ensure customer orders are delivered on time.
• Working closely with manufacturing teams to monitor daily production performance and adjust plans where required.
• Coordinating with the materials team to manage supply challenges and align production plans accordingly.
• Communicating updates on product availability to internal stakeholders including Customer Care and Transport Planning.
• Supporting the business in achieving key performance targets, including high On-Time In-Full (OTIF) delivery performance and minimising stock risk.

What We're Looking For
We're keen to speak with graduates or early-career professionals who demonstrate:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• High attention to detail and excellent organisational ability.
• Confident communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• A proactive, "can-do" attitude and willingness to learn.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.

Skills & Experience

• A-Level qualification (or equivalent) - degree-level education is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong Excel skills (comfortable working with data and spreadsheets).
• Exposure to ERP systems (desirable, not essential).
• A genuine interest in supply chain, planning, or operations.

Why Apply?
This role offers:

• A clear entry point into supply chain and production planning.
• The opportunity to work in a collaborative and supportive team environment.
• Real responsibility from day one.
• Long-term career development and progression opportunities.
