West Midlands

A supply chain recruitment desk for Wolverhampton

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

Wolverhampton anchors the Black Country's manufacturing and distribution base, with the i54 advanced-manufacturing park and the M54/M6 on its doorstep. Across the West Midlands, planning teams support operations at sites such as the i54, ProLogis Park and the M54/M6 distribution corridor.

Hybrid working matters to many planners. We confirm the pattern you can offer before we start the search.

Across the West Midlands, planners and analysts are hired by automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.
