Supply Chain Recruitment in Dartford

We recruit demand planners, supply planners and S&OP leads for Dartford and the South East, screened on the forecasts and plans they have owned.

South East

A supply chain recruitment desk for Dartford

The best planners are rarely on job boards. They are busy running an S&OP cycle somewhere else.

Goods across the South East move through the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Planners who understand that network plan with fewer surprises.

We ask candidates which planning and ERP systems they have used, how they forecast and what they did when the forecast was wrong.

Supply chain roles across the South East support operations at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your data.
